Fall Hat Pattern

Hello internet!

I seem to have writer's block in the form of amigurumi (cause that totally makes sense). Every time I make an ami, I end up not liking it enough to post it for you guys. So I decided to take a break and try something else!

Here's what I came up with:

Super cute, super slouchy, and a scalloped edge and a bow to make it more feminine.

What You Will Need:

-No more than 150 yards of medium weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease in rose heather and dark rose heather.

-A 5.00 mm hook. If you crochet tightly/loosely, you may want to adjust your hook size accordingly. I crochet somewhere in the middle.
-A button for the center of the bow. Mine is 1.5 in in diameter

Notes:
For this pattern, I used my own version of a puff stitch to make it less bulky.
My version is:
--Yo, insert hook through next st, pull up a loop, yo, insert hook through next st, pull up a loop, yo, pull through all loops on hook. Ch 1 to finish off.--
Also, for the stripes, I changed colors every five rows.
Lastly, when I say "in next stitch" I mean the space in between puff stitches.

Finally, the pattern:
1. Ch 3, 6 dc in first ch, sl st to join
2. Ch 2, (1 puff st, 2 puff st in next st) around
3. Ch 2, (1 puff st in next 2 st, 2 puff stitch in next st) around

12-25. (14 rows) 1 puff st in each st around
26. Edging: Ch 2, (5 dc in next st, sc) around
Fasten off, weave in ends.
