Here is my first completed pattern.
Ribbon Hat
By, Bec M.
2005
Materials: “I” Hook ~ use bigger hook for larger fit.
Yarn needle
3 oz. 4 ply, worsted weight yarn (main color)
.5 oz 4 ply, worsted weight yarn (secondary color)
24 inch length ribbon (x2)
Stitches:Ch = chain
Sl st = slip stitch
Sc = single crochet
Dc = double crochet
Dec = decrease : After finishing a dc, yarn over,
pull through next st, pull through next st, (there should be 4
loops on hook) yarn over. pull through 2, yarn over, pull through 3
remaining loops, continue with dc's.
Gauge: 10 dc = 3.5 inches
NOTES: * Repeat the instructions between the asterisks*. My reason
for decreasing on 2 of the rows was to make the hat more
fitted. You may wish to decrease on one row or not at all. If
so, you may wish to complete row 4, then dc around until hat
reaches desired length.
Row 1: Ch 2 (this Ch 2 is NOT counted as the 1st stitch throughout entire pattern), 12 dc in 2nd
ch from hook. Sl st in top ch 2 that began row.

Sl st in top ch 2 that began this row.

[finish with a sc and fasten off] Weave in all ends.
Ribbon: (24 inch length x2)
Begin where you would like the bow of the ribbon to
sit on the hat. Use your yarn needle to weave the
ribbon through the two rows of dc’s (11 & 13) of the
hat in a zig zag pattern. Continue until you come to
where you began. Begin where your first ribbon did
and thread the second piece of ribbon in the opposite
zig zag pattern to create the X’s. All four ends of
the ribbon should meet up in the same place. Tie them
in a bow. Alternatively, you can tie the ribbon,
weave in the ends, and attach a rosette.
