This is a beaded pattern, so make sure you have enough beads before you begin! You can string as many as you want, but I believe I used about 90 beads, give or take a few. When beading in crochet, it’s always better to string more than you think you need…just in case! Have fun!

PS - the second picture is what the hat should look like from the underside. It’s very important that the beads stay on the TOP of the work! :)
