Bear-y Sweet Variation

The post that gets the most hits on my blog on a day-to-day basis is my pattern for the Bear-y Sweet Hat.  Here is a variation of the same hat, now listed in my etsy store.

To make the bow: Crochet a rectangle in sc and then wrap a strand of yarn around the middle of it to cinch it into a bow shape.  It's that easy!

To add the ruffle: 

Round 1:  Add one sc in each stitch around.

Round 2:  Shells!  Ch 3.  *Skip 2 sc.  5 dc in next sc.  Skip 2 sc.  sc in next sc.  Repeat from * around the circle.

This pattern is listed on ravelry.
