The Flower Patch Hat is a fun way to sample several crochet stitch methods by combining granny stripes and flower granny squares.

Explore different color palettes and flowers for the seasons like primrose for Spring, daisies for Summer and sunflowers for Autumn. Make it funky and fun by using multiple colors and leftover scrap yarn. A cotton yarn or cotton blend would make a great beach hat for the summer.

This pattern includes written instructions as well as a photo tutorial for assembly of the hat.
