Crochet Pattern Notes

Begin your crochet hat pattern with a magic circle.
You will make the stem first and then join the orange yarn to make the hat.
You are working in rounds.
You will start each round with a chain 2. This does not count as your 1st st.
At the end of each round, join your yarn to the first stitch with a slip stitch.
Repeat instructions between asterisks (*).
The pattern is written in US terms.

Special Stitches

Front Post Double Crochet (FPdc): A front post double crochet is a type of stitch in crocheting.

Instead of working into the top loops of the stitch like usual, you work around the post (the vertical part) of the stitch from the front side. This creates a raised effect on the front side of the fabric.
