Materials: ( I used )

• 5 mm and 2.5 mm crochet hooks
• Fine weight yarn: olive green ( about 100 gr for the sample – adult size/ 100 gr or 240 yds per skein )
• Cotton crochet thread: burgundy, red, green.
• 1.4 cm bead
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 

The hat is crocheted in rounds, from the bottom up.
