Boho-chic Style Crochet Hat for Blythe 2 (Pattern) by TCLjas

I was supposed to finish first my sewing project but I decided to take a little break and fixed the second crown hat pattern.  Things will be a bit busier this month for my family and I might completely forget about it.  Again, I tried my best to make this as clear as possible and I also made a sketch of it for your reference since I'm not too technical with my wordings.
 
 Faye (Very Vicky) is wearing a Boho-chic crown hat in Paprika
Please note that this pattern is for personal enjoyment only and not to be distributed or posted on any other site.  However,  you can make with it and sell it and if you wish to share this pattern, I would be delighted and grateful if you simply link back to this post.  Thank you and happy crafting.

You'll need:
100% Acrylic yarn Medium 4 (I used Red Heart Soft Touch in Paprika) or equivalent and stretchy
Hook US G4 or equivalent

Crochet stitches in this pattern:
Ch - Chain
Sl  St - Slip Stitch
Sc - Single Crochet
DC - Double Crochet

Note:  if you see words in ( ), this are descriptions of what is going on
          if you see words in [ ], you need to repeat the pattern
          if you see words in { }, it is a group of stitches in to a segment or a single stitch

Make it:
To Begin - Ch 5, Sl St to 1st Ch to form a loop
R1 - Ch 3 (raise), 10 DC in the loop, Sl St to top of the raised stitch (11 DC  = raise + 10 DC)
R2 - [Ch 3, Sl St in-between each succeeding DC of R1] all around (now you formed 11 arches, similar to a basic doily stitch)
R3 - Bring to top of the 1st arch of R2 by Sl St to 1st 2 Ch, [Ch 3, Sl St to 2nd chain of the next arch] Repeat this all around in to succeeding arches of R2 (another layer of arches, increased in size)
R4 and R5 - Similar pattern with R3 (you will notice that the arches are much wider)
R6 - Bring to top of the 1st arch of R5 by Sl St to 1st 2 Ch, [Ch 5, Sl St to 3rd chain of the next arch] Repeat this all around in to succeeding arches of R5 (still 11 arches, increased in size)
R7 up to R10 - Similar pattern with R6 except, to start with, Bring to top of the 1st arch of R6 by Sl St to 1st 3 Ch.
R11 - Bring to top of the 1st arch of R10 by Sl St to 1st 3 Ch, [Ch 4, Sl St to 3rd chain of the next arch] Repeat this all around in to succeeding arches of R10 (forming the band of the hat)
R12 (optional, you can play with the edge, but I like scallop patterns so this is the one I did here) - {Sc, 3 DC, Sc, Sl St} in to 1st segment of the band (note: 1 segment = 4 ch from R11), [ {Sl St, Sc, 3 DC, Sc, Sl St} in to succeeding segments of the band] all around. Fasten off and weave in. (now, you have the hat and all you need to do is jazz it up! have fun!)
 Here, I used a chunky yarn.  Darla (Simply Chocolate) is wearing the hat
Then, on this one I added group stitches on each arches. Charlotte (Simply Guava) is wearing the hat

You can do variation of this pattern by adding layers of different crochet stitches on top of each round or by using a different yarn type.  Adjust it accordingly to fit your doll's head.  Thank you so much and now back to my sewing project! :)
