DIRECTIONS:

• ABBREVIATIONS:
• Ch = Chain(s)
• Dc = Double crochet
• Sp = Space
• St(s) = Stitch(es)


• NOTES:
• Squares are made by working in rounds.
• The Brim is worked in rounds off the piece after all the squares and top pentagon are stitched together.
• Ch 3 at start of round counts as a dc throughout pattern.
• Ch 1 at start of round does not count as a stitch throughout pattern.
• If a number comes before a stitch, it means to work that many stitches into the next stitch. For example "2 dc" means to work 2 dc stitches into the next stitch.
• If a number comes after a stitch, it means to work one stitch into that many stitches. For example "dc 3" means to work 1 dc into the next 3 stitches.
• Directions written into brackets are all worked in the same chain space. For example [3dc, ch 2, 3dc] would all be worked into the same chain space.
