Primrose And Proper Slouch Hat

"The Primrose and Proper slouch hat pattern is stylish and versatile, and I've included notes on how to make this for everyone from toddlers to adults! I've added some extra embellishments (of course--it wouldn't be my design if it didn't!), such as the ruffle that runs along the side of the hat, and an optional clip on flower. However, if you are not a fan of extra ruffles, there are notes that tell you how to work the pattern differently. Because this is made with worsted weight yarn, it works up within several hours and is good for those who are comfortable with "easy" level patterns, but want to stretch their skills a little further."

NotesYou need to be comfortable with working hdc in the 3rd loop. Instructions: Look at the top of the stitch, and locate the sideways “V”, bend the stitch to look at the back, and you should see another “V”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”, this is called the 3rd loop.
