Embellished Double Crochet Hat with Brim

I modified the basic double crochet hat that most of us learned to make as one of our first crochet projects to create this pattern.   I adjusted the basic double crochet pattern by adding a decorative stitch around the bottom edge of the hat and adding a brim.  The decorative stitch turned the hat into a pill box style hat.  To add a little “bling” I crocheted a flower inspired by Irish Crochet and sewed it on just above the brim.  The Bullion Stitch Flower was adapted from the bullion stitch flower from “Annie’s Crochet The Go-To-Book for Irish Crochet Motifs – 100+ Designs”  Instead of using the traditional thread weight I made a 3 petal Bullion Stitch Flower from the same yarn as I used for the hat.   You could add your own bling using a contrasting color yarn, or add a decorative button.
