Additional Notes:
-Ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
-CHOKING WARNING Because button flowers are detachable and could pose a choking hazard, this hat should never be used as a play toy, or the baby left unattended while wearing it.
-Once you join the new color you will join to the 1st stitch of that row with a slip stitch. I carry my colors down inside of the hat, instead of cutting after each round of color changes, that way there are not as many ends to weave in later.
-this pattern requires a little bit of “yarn hacking” if using the colors I recommend, specifically when using the Brown Rose Marl. To get a pink band and pink flower you will need to cut the yarn when it changes to brown, then wind up the rest of the length of brown and set it aside, and then join the next pink segment. A little variation adds some character though so you can see where I left the small stripes of brown in the flower on the pink and brown hat.
