Hi everyone!
I designed this hat to send to sarahfroggy for a trade she and I are doing. I thought you all might like to see it, and I wrote the pattern out in case anyone wants to make one. Also (I'm not sure if this is inappropriate to mention, but I'll take it out if it's against the rules), if anyone wants one but you don't want to make it yourself, I have them for sale on my site in the fashion section. Hope that's not too blatant a plug.
Here's the pattern:

I'd love to hear feedback about the design and pattern. Whatever helpful hints you might have would be great. I'm hoping to learn to do more crochet designing and pattern writing and want to make sure I'm using good habits early on. Thanks everyone! Hope you like the pattern!
