A Rose is a Rose hat

So, this is my first free pattern post.  The pattern here is for the Rose is a Rose hat that was orignially posted by "Auntie M", but the page is rather hard to find, so I thought I should go ahead and re-post the pattern here.  I have tested this pattern, so I know that it is reliable.  The size of the hat depends on the size of the hook you use. The pattern originally calls for a 4.5 mm hook, but you can generally pick your hook size base on the size of hat you want.  Worsted weight yarn is used. If I remember right, the 4.5 hook made a 6-9 month size hat, but I could be wrong.
