Crochet Newborn Cluster Beanie


So I've been wanting to make a hat like this and decided that I would make it today but when I searched for "cluster beanie" none of it was what I was looking for. So I took the challenge of doing it myself... I had to redo the beginning a few times because, well honestly, it's because I didn't know what I was doing! haha In the end, it was exactly what I wanted. yay!

The hat measures 14" circumference and 5.5" from top to bottom.

Materials:

yo - yarn over
ch - chain
st - stitch
sl st - slip stitch
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet

Pattern:

Starting with a magic circle

Round 1 - ch2, 12 dc into magic circle, sl to top of beginning dc

Brim

ch1 single crochet into each stitch all the way around.
When I got back to the beginning, instead of a slip stitch to the beginning sc, I went in a continuous round single crocheting into the back loops only for 2 more rounds. sl st to finish, fasten off and weave in all ends.

I followed this pattern for the flower and only made 2 layers.
