I used 4 ribbons and weaved them in and out every 2 stitches in row 11. Make sure you leave a little slack so the hat can stretch over the childs head.
I also think my Dahlia Love flower would look great on this hat!

Ella looks insanely adorable in this pic. <3 And I LOVE the hat!
On row 5, after doing it two times, I come up with 50 DC’s, not 45. Not sure what I am doing wrong, or is this a typo???
Laurie, please let me know if you have any other problems. I’m not sure what happened when I was writing this one but I must have been tired. I think I have all the flaws fixed but would love some feedback.
I just finished making this sun hat using the same size hook and yarn, but it looks so big! Looks like a teenager could wear it and too big for a 12 to 18 month child. Could it be be I am just used to making newborn hats?
The 12 month size is barely smaller than toddler, and the toddler size is barely smaller than teen/adult. The hat isn’t made to be snug either though. I always think all my hats look huge haha but when I get them on the baby, child, or adult its a perfect fit. I never realized how big heads really were until I started crocheting haha.
