With size U.S. 8 (9)/5 (5.5mm) straight needles, make two Snowflake blocks (see page 81).
Step 2
Finishing
With B and a crochet hook, work a row of slip st around the side and top edges leaving bottom edge open.
Step 3

Change to A and work in I-cord for 18" (45.5cm) more. Bind off.
Make 3 knots at the A end of each cord. Sew the B end of each cord to the center of each block.
Note The centers of the blocks form the sides of the hat.

Tack the top corners of the hat together.
Step 4
Top Ball
With A, cast on 8 stitches leaving a long tail for seaming.
Row 1 (RS) Kf&b of every st (16 stitches).
Row 2 and all WS rows Purl.
