Hat uses partial skeins of five different colors. Pattern requires changing from size 5 circular needles to size 5 double point needles once decreasing begins. The bow is a knitted i-cord. The flowers are crocheted. NOTE: Please note this pattern is incorrect once you get to the decreasing part of the hat. It tells you to place a marker every 11(12) stitches. It should read: “Place a marker every 8 stitches for both sizes.” Once the decreases have been completed, you should have 12 stitches remaining to make the three i-cords for the flowers. You will have 12 stitches for the larger sized hat, however, you will end up with 11 stitches for the smaller sized hat so you must m1 stitch to have the required 12 stitches.
