My Crochet Patterns !

I made this hat for my daughter in 1994. She was really into these hats then. And as usual, I’ve had to decipher my hand writing from then!

Size: One size fits all.

Stitches and abbreviations used: cc = contrast color, mc=main color, sc =single chain, ldc = Long Double Crochet [Yo, insert your hook on the row below the row you are working on, and work a double crochet, bringing your loop up to same height as previous stitches]

Materials:Bernat Knitting Worsted yarn, 1 ball of main color and small amounts of 2 contrasting colors, size and 4.00 m / G hook.

Note: When changing colors, carry yarn and crochet over.
