Note

- To achieve the look of the stitches in the hat from the photo, simply turn the hat inside out. If you like the traditional look of the half double crochet stitch from the “right side,” then simply leave the hat right side out.
- Please keep in mind that the hat sizes are based on average ages/head sizes.

Where can I find a gorgeous button like that? Thanks for the pattern.
Hi Kristen,
I’ve had a collection of those big buttons for awhile. I don’t recall which company I bought them from, but I do have quite a few left. They are brand new. If you’re interested in one, just send me an email. :-)

Tammy. These are cute cute patterns you’re sharing. TY. By the way at store called Hobby Lobby has those buttons also. Great job you’re doing. HAPPY AND BLESSED SPRING.
Thank you, Brenda! That’s great to know about the buttons at Hobby Lobby. :-) And, I’m glad that you’re enjoying the free patterns.
Thanks again,
Tammy
