It features an adorable nub stitch that is easy to create. The free crochet pattern is below and it includes a tutorial for that crystal center flower, or purchase the ad free pdf at ETSY or RAVELRY.

Daisy with Rhinestone Center
2. Using a purchased daisy, take it off the stem. It will pull off with a little effort.
3. Take the plastic parts off of the flower, keeping the flower petals together as they were on the stem
5. Use a purchased Rhinestone that has holes drilled in the sides for sewing in place. This is really a button with the holes on the side.
7. Notice the holes on the side of the stone for sewing in place. Then using needle and thread sew onto hat in place desired, going through all of the petals. It is easiest to insert the needle from the bottom beside the stone, and then insert the needle down into the hole.

Beautiful hat!! I really love the added embellishment.
Thank you Peggy!
Lovely hat- and I like that it is a quick make. I am not big on oversized embellishments- but I am thinking that a small flower would be lovely!
Sometimes a smaller embellishment is just the right touch!
