Marigold Flower
Petal Layer 1
Chain 2 or use magic loop
sl st into 2nd chain from hook (or magic loop), chain 10; HDC in 4th chain from hook and in next 2 chains (3 HDC total), sc in next 3 ch, sl st into last chain; sl st into original chain or magic loop
You have just finished one “petal”. Repeat this process until you have formed 8 “petals”. Fasten off. Tighten loop by tugging on the cast on tail. Do not leave an opening.
Petal Layer 2
Repeat steps for petal layer 1, but make 12 “petals”. Fasten off. Tighten the original loop by tugging on the cast on tail – leave a small opening (about the circumference of your finger) which allows the second petal layer to be slightly longer than the first.
Flower center
Feel free to use a button here if you choose.
Chain 2 or make a magic loop
1) Sc 8 into 2nd chain from hook
Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.
Stack the layers together (center, petal layer 1, petal layer 2) and sew together. Position the flower onto the completed hat and sew together.
