Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, this hat had inspired by the many items Queen Elizabeth II had worn and is quick to make and easy to make. (Takes less than two hours and takes one full skein of yarn making it a perfect last-minute gift).

Ch 1 & ch 2 at the beginning of the rounds does not count as a stitch.
Ch to secure the puff stitch counts as a st.
The beanie is a little slouchy, but it is easily adjustable to make it fit.
Finished beanie measurement - 10" tall x 9" wide
You can easily adjust the height of this pattern by increasing or decreasing the number of rounds.

NOTE: SPECIAL STITCH- Puff Stitch (PS): *yarn over and insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop (have 3 loops on your hook). Yarn over and insert the hook into the same stitch and pull up another loop (5 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 5 loops. Secure with a chain stitch.
