MY FAVORITE HAT!! THE GLORI-JAM!!

This became my favorite hat of all times I think.  It works up in a snap and is beautiful in all types of yarn!

My friend James Lee Kelley of the Hot off the Hook blog had made a beanie with this crown pattern.  I tested the pattern for him and decided I would like it a lot with a bit of a bill and a big old flower.  This is the hat that became I think the perfect blending of two minds!

The brown is the original hat but the coral hat has a different band version which I will include at the bottom!

Thread a long tail into a tapestry needle, sew back and forth across 

center of flower until a smooth surface is achieved. This is called a 

satin stitch.

Place your flower on the seam at brim of hat and take long stitches at 

the base of your petals to define each petal and attach the flower to 

your hat.
