Pattern
The pattern can be adjusted; if you would like to make the body of the hat, longer you would just add 1 or 2 more rows (after adding the brim it will be longer). If you would like for the ruffles on the brim to be more defined, instead of working 2dc, dc, dc, 2dc** you would 2dc, dc, 2dc, dc, 2dc**
