#Crocheted Flapper Hat

While I was off work recuperating from surgery a few weeks ago, I knew I would need some projects I could do while I was down.  I found this easy hat pattern at my local Michaels store one afternoon.  Since, I already had all the materials at home and the pattern was free, it was perfect!  I made a few changes-
-the hook size to size it a bit smaller for my granddaughter.  Then instead of attaching the back brim up with a button and button loop, I made a cute daisy and sewed the brim up to give it a younger look.  You can see the original pattern here.
