I just got an order for one of these cuties today and I realized that I hadn’t posted the pattern yet. It was ordered for a head sized 17″ so those are the instructions I’ll post. It’s very easy to size up though. I’m still trying to use a majority of Hobby Lobby yarn even though it’s not as easy to get there in Pittsburgh as it was in So Cal.
Yarn: Less than 1 skein each of Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in Grape, White, Jelly Bean, Fire Red, Royal, and Yellow.

Assembly – 
I pin everything onto the hat before I start sewing. Whenever I don’t do it, it all comes out uneven. Remember that you are manipulating the shapes when you sew. The buttons on the left have a more rounded top. The yellow button is a sharper rectangle.
You can also manipulate the size by changing up your hook size. These 2 were done with the same number of stitches. The larger was with an H hook and the smaller was with a G hook.
To Infinity and Beyond!
