Thanks Bepp! I love the kitty hat! I’ve been looking for one for a while but all I could find is knit versions…..
I kind of made up the flower pattern as I went along…..the yarn and hooks make the flowers appear a lot larger…..
For the large flower I used a size P hook
For the smaller flower I used a size K hook
Use a chunky/furry yarn. I used Paton’s Divine.
Here goes…

With a size P hook, leaving a tail of at least 6 inches, ch 5, join with a slip stitch in the first chain to form a ring
-(sc in ring, chain 3) 8 times. Join with a sl st to the first sc
-(sc, ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1, sc) in each 3 space around, join.
Fasten off. Leave an tail end of at least 6 inches.

I hope that makes sense!
Place the smaller flower on top of the larger one so the middle holes line up. Pull the ends of the smaller flower through the larger flower and knot the two together. Attach to the hat by either sewing or weaving the ends of the tail where they will not be noticed. I wove the ends in at several points so the flowers would balance well.
