There she is, Miss America!! This hat is full of patriotic pride with the iconic red, white, and blue color scheme. If you know a baby who is due in the month of July, or know a military child, then this little hat is just for you! Are you looking to create a patriotic photo prop for your baby photos? This is the pattern for you. This flag matches the US flag, where as the top and the bottom of the hat and the flag has a red stripe.

This is a great hat for those who are beginner/intermediate in their crochet skills. If you have pattern questions, I am happy to help!

Notes:
I like to start all my hats with a magic ring. The magic ring can take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it really is a great way to start crocheting in rounds. Click on the link for instructions on how to make a magic ring. The website gives you pictures and a video tutorial.
