You say that there should be photos at the end of the pattern to illustrate Round 3 of the flower embellishment but I do not see any photos and I do think they would be helpful

I am in the process of making the child size of this hat and I am confused by this line in round 25 "dc in each stitch across the flap including the end of each row until one row remains, " Should it read stitch instead of row? I am unsure of what "rows" it is referring to. Please Help!

Hi angiturnpaugh 6879 163, in round 25 you will be crocheting in the stitches which form the flap from rounds 20-24, and will continue around the outer edge of the rest of the hat. We hope this helps! - Editors of AllFreeCrochet

Cute hate. Has a very Downton Abbey look to it. A little surprised to see that it is available in so many sizes, especially for a newborn. I dont think this would really work very well for a newborn. I would think that the toddler and small child size would be as young as I would want to go for a hat like this due to safety concerns.
