How to Crochet a Hat in Puff Stitch

Hi there guys, 

I have just uploaded a new video on How to Crochet a Hat in the Puff Stitch.  I really enjoyed crocheting it and hope you have fun trying out the hat as well.  If you have any problems let me know.  The pattern is as follows (p.s. I am learning to write out patterns as it is easy to create something but different writing it out on a piece of paper! lol).  To watch this video just click on the link.

PUFF STITCH HAT

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  
St = stitch, Ch = chain,  * * = work all in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo = yarn over

Puff Stitch = wrap yarn over hook, insert hook into st, bring up a loop, wrap yarn around hook, insert hook into st, bring up a loop, wrap yarn around hook, insert hook into stitch, bring up a loop,  wrap yarn around hook and pull through all the loops  (x3) all in the same stitch unless shown otherwise.
