Instructions = Flat Knitting (Back and Forth):
Hat (Back Side)

Body:
Next Row *Right Side* : Knit till end.
Next Row *Wrong Side*: Purl till end.

Repeat this two steps above for 34 more rows or until your desired length and stop at wrong side row. Now we will do basket-weave pattern. Continue knitting by following steps below:

Basketweave Body Part (Front side):

Next Row *Right Side* : K8, P8, K8, P8
Next Row *Wrong Side*: K8, P8, K8, P8

Repeat these two steps above for 3 times more (You will have 8 rows for ribbing 8 x 8 )

Next Row *Wrong Side* : P8, K8, P8, K8

Repeat these two steps above for 3 times more (You will have 8 rows again for ribbing 8 x 8)

Next Row *Right Side* : K8, P8, K8, P8
Next Row *Wrong Side*: K8, P8, K8, P8

Repeat these two steps above for 3 times more (You will have 8 rows for ribbing 8 x 8 )

Next Row *Wrong Side* : P8, K8, P8, K8

Repeat these two steps above for 3 times more (You will have 8 rows again for ribbing 8 x 8)

Now we are near the end part, we will do the ribbing again before bind off.

Ribbing:
Row 1 (Right Side): K3, P2, (K2, P2) repeat ( ) until last 3 sts, K3.
Row 2 (Wrong Side): P3, K2, (P2, K2) repeat ( ) until last 2 sts, P3.

Repeat steps above for 3 times more. (You will have 8 rows for ribbing 2 x 2)

Bind Off all sts in ribbing manner. Next, fold the workpiece together where the purl side is facing you and knit side is folded inside. By using crochet hook, seam each side by joining the last sts from each side together. This will produce a neat seamed. When done seam, bring out the knit side and fold purl side back inside. You will now have your hat! What we need to do next is to make it look more cuter by attaching a flower.

Material for Flower Button:
Using left over yarn
3.50 mm crochet hook
Scissor to cut
Needle to sew
Thread
1 button

Instructions:
Chain 4, slip stitch on first chain to join and form a ring.

Now,
Chain 3, 9 dc in a loop, slip stitch on first chain of chain 3.

( You will have 9 dc + chain 3 (10 sts) )

Continue:
After slip stitch, make ch3, 3dc in same loop, *slip stitch in next dc, chain3, 3dc in same loop* repeat from * to * in every next sts till end (you will have 10 petals). Slip stitch on 3rd (most bottom chain) chain of chain 3. Fasten Off.

Sew up a button (refer picture above) and attach on the hat as how you like 🙂
