Single crochet along the back of the hat (28 sc), then repeat the 2 dc decrease along the edge the brim.

Single crochet along the brim edge, join to first sc decrease, finish off.

Add your own flower, crocheted, store bought, knitted

Or

On this flower I used light pink and a darker pink

Starting with the darker pink

Row 1: Sc in ring, chain six, repeat till there are ten chains join with a slip stitch to the first sc do not chain up (leave a long tail for sewing when starting this)

Row 2: Put six single crochets in each of the ten chain sections, join to the base of the first chain section and finish off

Row 3: With main color or color of your choice, fold the previously worked chains over so you can see the back of the work, do not turn to the back just fold.

Attach the light pink color in the back of a single crochet from the first row with a slip stitch. Single crochet in the same place as joining, chain 10, sc in the back of the next single crochet from round one, repeat around till you have 10 chains, slip stitch in the base of the beginning. Do not chain up

Row 4: Sc around the chain putting 10 sc in each of the chains, join at the base of the first chain. Finish off and hide all ends except the long tail from start

Center of flower:

With light pink:

Chain 3, do 9 dc in the first chain, slip stitch to top of the first chain, finish off.

With dark pink:

Chain 2, do 5 sc in first chain, join and finish off

Place the second piece inside the first and sew it down under the top two loops, hide ends

Place this piece inside the body of the flower and sew it to the body.

Sew flower to hat and finish off all ends.
