A note about this pattern: In the Spring of 2015, I was sent an image of some adorable hats by a friend via Facebook that didn't have a link. I loved the hats and finally found that they were originally in Russian, which I cannot read, and which Google couldn't translate. A week or so later I searched again, and I found that a woman in Australia had been feverishly working to crack the crochet pattern using the images from the Russian page. Her pattern was instrumental in determining my own adaptation.

My pattern is different in that I use worsted weight yarn (easy to find at craft stores and Walmart in the U.S. - I recommend Caron Simply Soft or Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton). Also, I've made it available in printable PDF (via Ravelry, click the "download" button), so you can carry a copy of it with you. Thanks for visiting my website and checking out this pattern!
