PUFF
FLOWER INSTRUCTIONS: Use
a J - HOOK
Puff
Stitch: Ch 3, yo, insert hook in same st and draw up
a loop, repeat 2 more times in same st, yo place hook in next st and draw up a
loop 3 times, yo and draw hook through all loops on your hook, ch 3, sl st in

With
J hook make a magic circle and ch 1.
Rnd
1: Make 12 scs in magic circle, join
with a sl st to beginning sc, pull tail to close and weave in short end.
Petals-
Make 6 puff stitches and fasten off leaving a long tail to finish center of
flower.
Thread
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. For more
info you can go here
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.
Pull
to back and finish off. Weave in end and cut yarn.
Here
is a youtube video of a puff stitch flower, however she does not sl st into the
beg and end of each petal as I do. I
think it gives a more defined look to your flower. But can give you a base!
