Thicker yarn/slightly larger gauge than called for so knitting 6 - 9 mo size for a 10 mo old. 5 sts/inch.

Using a bit of Bugga (1 gram) in Tropical Shield Bug held double as contrast color for center of flower.

Almost gave up on the cast on because I suck at anything involving a crochet hook but the tutorial in the pattern was really great and I got it on the second try.

Decreased from 96 to 88 sts, knit 3 rows, then decreased to 80 sts. Switched to size 6 needles for ribbed brim. Whole hat is 7” tall.
