Flowers: 
 Well I attached 3 same flowers in 3 different colors.
But you can make one, or 2 or more, choose the same color or  different ones, choose the same flower pattern, or use different flowers all together,  make it the way you want it :)

1st Rnd: Using hook size 4mm,
ch 5, sl st

2nd Rnd: Ch 1, 12 sc in the ring, sl st 

3rd Rnd: Ch 3, 3 dc in next st, ch r sl st in next st, ch 3 , 3 dc in next st, ch 3 sl st in next st and so on until you have 6 flower petals

4 th Rnd: Work in the back of the flower, sl st in the back loops of the beg of the first petal, ch 5, sl st in the end of the petal, ch 5,sl st in the next back of the petal, until you made 6 arches, sl st at the end.

5th Rnd: Sc in the first arch, hdc, 4dc, hdc, sc,
2nd arch, sc, hdc, 4dc, hdc, sc and so on in every arch until you have 6 big petals, sl st at the end and fasten off, make sure to leave longer thread at the end, so you can stitch the flowers to the hat.


Arrange your flowers on the hat the way you want, stitch them on and that's it, hat ready.
Be free to ask any questions if you unsure about this pattern.
 You might need to increase stitches for the hat, for more then 3 rounds, depending on thickness of yarn and your hook size.
