"Blossom" style hat

[secretpassion]

Not sure if anyone remembers that show, but she used to wear a hat (no idea what kind it's called) and I'd like to find a pattern for an adult. It is similar to a rolled brim, but the front part of the brim stays up. Like the one here http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images.etsy.com/all_images/3/364/ea1/il_430xN.9389075.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.craftjuice.com/search.php%3Fsearch%3Dchenille%2Bcrochet%2Bcap%26tag%3Dtrue&usg=__Kk9N8dLqS41_ZILVg6FnG8VTKf4=&h=322&w=430&sz=26&hl=en&start=34&um=1&tbnid=wurKqaaNtoYZSM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=126&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcrochet%2Brolled%2Bbrim%2Bhat%26start%3D20%26ndsp%3D20%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DMXb%26sa%3DN

 

I tried making a newsboy cap for myself, but it didn't come out right. Fits, but a little tight (and I even added a row of increases) and the brim will not stay up, folds down into my face.

 

And for all you fashionistas what type of hat would you wear w/a sweater dress/tunic? TIA

I have found that it is easiest to make this style by making your standard hat down to where you want the brim to be.

 

work 2 FPhdc into one st, FPhdc in next, around.

then just work hdc in hdc and increase only if you have to in order to keep the brim flat. Then find a great motif to use to secure the brim in the up position.

That is a cute hat.

Someone just sent me this pattern on a post I just posted it looks a lot like what you are looking for.

Ok question for you on this then. How do you FPhdc? Better yet how do you crochet around the front post? One pattern I have (a hat) says to crochet FPhdc on the second row beneath... confusing to me. Of course I've only been doing this for about a yr now, but I've done pretty good.
