Rosette

In my 2nd ever blog post,  I shared a knit/crochet headband pattern which included a rosette.

I was doing a knock off Anthropologie Store item I found last year when I came up with the patterns.

I used the same rosette included with the headband pattern for this cute baby hat

If you want to crochet your own rosette embellishment, the pattern is below

This is how I make my Hearts:

9 sc into magic circle

ss into 1st sc to join, Chain 1

skip 1, 5 hdc into next sc

sc into next 2 stitches,

hdc into next stitch {Center},

sc in next 2 stitches

5 hdc into next stitch, chain 1

Ss into joining stitch {Center}, fasten off, cut,  leave 2” tail, move tail to back of work

To Create my  larger heart on my hat I doubled up my yarn and used a N size hook
Enjoy the pattern
I have a link to a cute beanie pattern similar to the one featured here on the tutorials tab at my home page

For the smaller hair clip size I used a F hook and thread type yarn

I also stiffened the backside with fabric modpodge
