Infant hat

This hat is very cute, and warm, too! For this hat, I took some ideas from various sites and compiled them together. In the end, I started with a six-stitch circle, and ran increases throughout until the diameter was just about 15 inches, and then ran a few rows of straight hdc with increases, until it hit a suitable length. And then, at the end, I made a silly little flower to attach to the top because I was feeling fancy. Below, I'll give you the basic rundown for this pattern so you can make this hat. Keep in mind that I used a baby-soft yarn, slightly thinner than worsted weight, so the amount of increases you need can be different.

Basic Instructions:
Chain 2. Work 6 HDC in second chain from hook.
Row 2: 2 HDC in each stitch (12 stitches).
Row 3: *1 HDC, 2 HDC in next stitch,* repeat around (18 stitches).
Row 4: *1 HDC in next two stitches, 2 HDC in next stitch,* repeat around (24 stitches).

Contain this increase progression until diameter reaches about 15 inches. Then run HDC across for several rows, then tie off and weave in ends.

I know this pattern isn't much of a pattern, but it's such a versatile accessory. Put your own flair on this cute little hat!
