#5 Steel Crochet Hook

1 yd Millinery Wire

CROWN: 

Beg at tip, ch 5, join with sl st to form ring.

1^ST RND:  Ch 3 [count as dc], 17 dc in ring.  Join with sl st to 3^rd st of ch-3.  Join each rnd same.

2^ND RND:  Ch 3, dc in same st as sl st was made, 2 dc in each dc of prev rnd, pick up only back loop of dcs.  Join.

3^RD RND:  Ch 5, * sk 1 dc, dc in next dc [pick up only back loop of dcs], ch 2, rep from * around.  Join [18 sps].

4^TH RND:  Ch 6, * dc in next dc, ch 3, rep from * around [18 sps].

5^TH RND:  * Ch 7, 1 dc in 4^th ch from hook, work off last 2 loops of dc very loosely, ch 3, 1 dc in loose st [this loose st will be called Center of Clover, or cc], drop loop from hook, insert hook in 4^th rnd in next dc to right [last dc made in 4^th rnd], draw dropped loop thru, 1 dc in cc, ch 3, 1 dc in cc, ch 3, sl st in next dc [to right] of 4^th rnd [this completes lower half of one clover], rep from * around [9 clovers].  After 9^th clover, ch 3 & sl st in same st where joining sl st of 4^th rnd was made.

6^TH RND:  Sl st over 3 ch sts just made, 1 dc in cc which was made last [9^th clover], * ch 3, sl st in center of same clover, ch 3, 2 dc in center of same clover, ch 3, sl st in center, ch 3, 1 dc in center, sl st to tip of incomplete petal of same clover [this completes one clover], ch 7, sl st to tip of incomplete petal of next clover, dc in center of same clover, rep from * around.  After last clover is complete, ch 7, sl st to tip of petal at 3^rd sl st.

7^TH RND:  Ch 9, * sc in tip of free petal at top of clover, ch 5, sc in 4^th ch of ch-7.  Ch 5, rep from * around, join with sl st at last ch-5 to 5^th ch of ch-9.

8^TH RND:  Ch 5, * sk 1 ch, dc in next ch, ch 2, sk 1 ch, dc in next ch, ch 2, sk next sc, dc in next ch, ch 2, rep from * around, join last ch 2 to 3^rd st of ch-5 [making 3 dc over each ch-5 with ch 2s bet dcs --56 sps].  

When working this rnd, care should be taken to work loosely, so that work will lie perfectly flat.

9^TH RND:  Ch 5, dc in next dc, * ch 2, dc in next dc, rep from * around.  Join last ch 2 to 3^rd ch of ch-5 [56 sps].

10^TH RND:  Ch 3, * 2 dc in sp, dc in next dc, rep from * around making 2 dc in last sp, sl st to 3^rd st of ch-3.

11^TH RND:  Ch 3, dc in each dc of prev rnd, pick up only back loop of dcs.

12^TH RND:  Ch 6, * sk 2 dc, dc in next dc, ch 3, rep from * around, join with sl st the last ch-3 to 3^rd st of ch-6 [56 sps].

13^TH THRU 15^TH RNDS:  Ch 6, * dc in next dc, ch 3, rep from * around.  Join last ch 3 to 3^rd st of ch-6. 

After 15^th rnd, make row of clovers as follows:

16^TH RND:  * Ch 9, 1 dc in 4^th ch from hook, work off last 2 loops of dc very loosely, ch 3, 1 dc in loose st [cc], drop loop from hook, sk next dc to right, insert hook in next dc [of 15^th rnd], draw dropped loop thru, 1 dc in cc, ch 3, sl st in cc, ch 3, 1 dc in cc, ch 5, sk next dc [to right] of 15^th rnd, sl st in next dc [this completes lower half of one clover, rep from & around [14 clovers].  After 14^th clover, ch 5 & sl st in same st where joining sl st of 15^th rnd was made.

17^TH RND:  Sl st over 5 ch sts just made, & cont as for 6^th rnd, make ch 11 in places where ch 7 were made in 6^th rnd.  After last clover is complete, ch 11, sl st to tip of petal at 5^th sl st.

18^TH RND:  Ch 8, * sc in tip of free petal at top of clover, ch 6, sc in 6^th ch of ch-11, ch 6, rep from * around, join with sl st the last ch-6 to 4^th ch of ch-8.

19^TH RND:  Ch 6, * sk 2 sts, dc in next st, ch 3, rep from * around, join with sl st the last ch 3 to 3^rd st of ch-6 [66 sps].

20^TH THRU 22^ND RNDS:  Same as 13^th, 14^th & 15^th rnds.  Do not break off, but cont with Brim.

BRIM: 

1^ST RND:  Ch 3, * 2 dc in next sp, dc in next dc, rep from * around.  Join with sl st to 3^rd st of ch-3. 

Hereafter, pick up only back loop of each dc of prev rnd.

2^ND & 3^RD RNDS:  Ch 3, dc in each dc.  Join with sl st.

4^TH RND:  Ch 3, dc in each dc, inc 1 dc in every 5^th dc [to inc, make 2 dc in 1 st].  Join.

5^TH RND:  Ch 3, dc in dc, inc in every 6^th dc.  Join.

6^TH RND:  Ch 3, dc in each dc.  Join & break off thread.

TO SHAPE BRIM: 

Hereafter work in rows, breaking off thread at end of each row & attaching to beg of prev row, as follows:

1^ST ROW:  From joining of last rnd, measure off 5” towards left, attach thread at this point, & make 1 sc in each of next 2 dc, 1 hdc in each of next 2 dc, dc in each dc to within 5” from join, then 1 hdc in each of next 2 dc, 1 sc in each of next 2 dc, sl st in next dc.  Break off.

2^ND ROW:  Attach thread to 1^st dc at beg of 1^st row, 1 sc in each of next 2 dc, 1 hdc in each of next 2 dc, dc in each dc, inc 1 dc in every 7^th dc to within 5 dc from end of prev row, then 1 hdc in each of next 2 dc, 1 sc in each of next 2 dc, sl st in next dc.  Break off.

3^RD & 4^TH ROWS:  Same as 2^nd row, but without incs.  Break off.

5^TH ROW:  Attach thread to 8^th dc at beg of 4^th row, & work as before, inc in every 9^th dc, & work to within 13 dc from end of 4^th row, then 2 hdc, 2 sc & 1 sl st.  Break off.

6^TH & 7^TH ROWS:  Same as 5^th row, but without incs.  Break off. 

To make Brim stiff, work sc closely to all around edge of Brim, holding along wire & working over it, so that it is completely covered. 

Fasten wire neatly at back & complete work with 1 rnd of sl sts.

CORD: 

Hold thread double, make ch approx 48”, turn & make sl st in each ch.  Break off. 

Pass Cord thru 3^rd row of Brim, pass under 2 dc & over 2 dc, etc, & tie into bow at right front.

ENJOY!
