My mother-in-law taught me how to crochet a granny square quilt a few years ago and I have not crocheted since. My sister Laurie found a cute and fairly easy pattern on the internet that has a tutorial video to go along with it. She learned how to make this hat and then taught me. I had to reference and re-learn many of the stitches, but was able to do so very easily due to the internet. I am placing the tutorial video below.
The written pattern can be found here http://crochet-mania.blogspot.com/2008/04/blog-post_09.html . Teresa also gives some instructions on how to change the pattern size for different ages in the comments below her patterns. So that might help some of you on your size questions.
As for making the pink flower, use this pattern:
Rnd 1: Ch 5, join into a ring w/sl st in 1st ch.
Rnd 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 9dc in ring, join to top of ch w/sl st — 10 sts.
Rnd 3: **Ch 2, work 3dc in next st, ch 2 sl st in next st** five times. Fasten off.
The web-site I have used to learn stitches can be found here.
Good Luck…but beware, they are addicting. I would love to see some of your finished results!

That is the most adorable hat ever and I can't wait to make it!
Your daughter is beautiful. I love your blog! Thanks for all of the good ideas.
How did you make the darling edge for this hat? I'm new to crochet and trying to figure it out, but mine's not looking right.
I hope I am not being overly curious! How old is your daughter in this picture? My daughter is 5 months old and fits into 9 month clothing. She grew like a weed! I was wondering if in this picture she is wearing the same size hat that is made inthe tutorial? Did you have to increase it any? And if you do, how do you know when to stop increasing? Should I use a larger guage hook? I'm sorry of I have too many questions but the other blog didn't answer my sizing questions! I would really appreciate it, thank you! I hope you can answer my project "needs"!

love the hat, what yarn did you use?
Hmmm…it has been a long time but I think {if memory serves} that it was just a thin white cotton yarn brand name Red Heart or something similar. Sorry I am not better help!
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for posting this pattern. I donate baby hats to a local pregnancy resource center, and have used variations of this pattern many times. It is so quick and easy, and yet comes out adorable! Thank you!
