This beanie features many floral elements and can be crocheted with either a solid, or multiple colors of yarn. Its closed textures make it a perfect chemo cap design.

Picot single crochet (psc) = Insert hook through top of stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo, draw through 1 loop 3 times making a ch 3, yo, draw through final 2 loops on hook. Pull your ch-3 sp towards the front of your work instead of pushing it toward the back.
BLO = back loop only
Back bar of sc = Look at the back of the stitch and locate the short bar that runs horizontal. Work all stitches for the round into this bar. This is a different location than the back loop!
st/sts = stitch/stitches
sp/sps = space/spaces
Prev = previous

Gauge:
Circle should measure 4” across if you worked the original beginning, and 4 1/4” across if you worked the alternative beginning option.

Measurements:
Women’s hat: 10 1/2” wide, by 8” tall.

Additional Notes:
-Ch 1 at beginning of round is not counted as a stitch.
-It is imperative that you know the difference between the “back bar” and the “back loop”. You will lose a lot of textured details if you work in the back loop when the directions call for working in the “back bar” instead.
-The multicolored beanie requires you to work with several colors of yarn at the same time--there are a bunch of mid-round color changes. If you’re not familiar with color changes you will be after you finish this design! I carried my yarn down the inside of the hat as much as possible to reduce the amount of ends I had to weave in later.
-Color changes can be made by pulling your new color through the last 2 loops of the previous stitch.
