American Girl Doll Hat with Chain Loop Flower

I have been having a lot of fun creating crocheted clothing items for my niece's American Girl doll recently.  Crocheting is relaxing, and it is a craft that I can do while I am watching television and this weekend I even did some while visiting with company.  One thing I have really liked about creating American Girl doll clothes is that because they are smaller projects, I can complete the project in an evening or a weekend . . . so you get the satisfaction of a completed project much sooner than you would with a large project.  

Last week I shared a project with a hat pattern I found online.  Click HERE to see that project post.  Since my family are fans of the Minnesota Gophers, I decided my niece's American Girl doll needed something in the Gopher's team colors.  I purchased this maroon and gold variegated yarn and used the same hat pattern to create this fun project.

I added the little chain loop flower, which is in the LeisureArts.com pattern book Teach Me To Crochet.  I love this book!  It is a great resource for a beginner crocheter like myself.  This flower was so easy to make, and it is the perfect little accent for this hat!
