The hat includes a folded brim, pattern stitches, and optional beads.

I recommend using a crochet cast-on so when working the folded brim, the stitches are easier to pick up. Size E or F hook should be fine.

Pattern instructions tell you where you can make decisions for placement of different design elements.

The pattern was named for my youngest daughter, Victoria (modeling the hat), who is always wanting to give and receive hugs and kisses. The lace work represents the hugs and the slip-stitch cable make an X for the kisses. This hat will fit adult size head M/L.
