MISS DOWNTOWN ABBY II CROCHET HAT

This is by far my most popular used crochet hat pattern that is shared and used on the net. I adapted the pattern slightly so that the scallop edge will fan out at the bottom. I added the button on the flower so that you can take the flower off.

These are all being made for 'Crochet for Cancer" and will be shipped to the chapter here in Maine called "Maine Hats for Healing"
