It took me few trials to get the correct size. But when I saw the result..Wow finally!
Instruction: slip stitch at the end of each row unless stated otherwise.
- Special stitches:
Cl=cluster: [yo, insert hook in indicated space, pull up a loop, yo, draw through 2loops] 3 times, yo and draw through all 4 loops on hook.
Shell : work 3 dc in indicated stitch.
Petal : ch 3, dc2tog in the 3rd ch from hook.
Dc3tog
Dc2tog
Hdc2tog
- Crown
With color A Create an adjustable slip ring
Rnd1: ch 3, [yo, insert hook in the ring pull up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops] 2 times, yo draw through 3 loops on hook (count as the first cl here and throughout), ch 2, [cl, ch2] 5times – 6 clusters.
Rnd2: ch 3, [yo, insert hook in ch-2 space pull up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops] 2 times, yo draw through 3 loops on hook, ch 2, cl, ch 2 in the same ch-2 space, [cl, ch 2, cl, ch 2 in the next ch-2 space]5 times – 12 clusters.
Rnd3 : [yo, insert hook in ch-2 space pull up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops] 2 times, yo draw through 3 loops on hook, ch 2, cl, ch 2 in the same ch-2 space, cl, ch 2 in the next ch-2 space, [cl, ch 2, cl, ch 2 in the next ch-2 space, cl, ch 2 in the next one]5 times- 18 clusters.
Rnd 4: [yo, insert hook in ch-2 space pull up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops] 2 times, yo draw through 3 loops on hook, petal, [cluster, petal in the next ch 2 space] 17 times – 18 clusters and 18 petals.
Round 5: ch 3, 2 dc at the top of the cluster (count as the first shell), ch 1, [shell, ch 1 in the next top of the cluster]17 times – 18 shells.
Rnd 6: Continue with B, ch 3, dc2tog, petal, skip 1 ch, [dc3tog, pletal, skip 1 ch] 17 times – 18 dc3tog and petals.
Rnd 7: as stated in round 5.
Repeat Round 6 and 7.
- Brim
Continue with A.
Rnd 1:[Sc in the next 3 stitches, skip I ch] 18 times – 54 sc. ( Do not join, put your stitch marker here)
Rnd 2-4: Sc in every stitch around -54 sc.
Round 5: [sc, hdc2tog in the next stitch, sc] 18 times -36 sc and 18 hdc2tog.
