Personal Work Notes
I adapted this beanie from the main tutorial “How to Crochet 3D Leaves Beanie Hat Tutorial 153” by Sherufashion on YouTube.
While I followed the direction of work (bottom to top) as per tutorial above, in future, it might be more prudent and easier to work from top to bottom. It is easier to start with magic circle (and produces a tight hole) and work outwards.
Interesting to note that the reverse side of the crochet 3D leaves fabric also produces a different but attractive surface. Possible to make an interesting reversible beanie.

I wish there was a printed pattern I could follow to make this hat – is there one anywhere???

Hi Jacquie, I am sorry I don’t have a pattern for this. I was testing the technique, modifying and adjusting as I went. But the video I linked to was very helpful.
