Given the pattern for a flower (daffodil):

Rnd 1. *Ch 9 (petal foundation chain), sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in next 2 ch, dc in next ch, htr in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch (petal made), ch 2 (petal separator); repeat from * 1 more time; ch 9, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in next 2 ch, dc in next ch, htr in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch (petal made), ch 1 (petal separator); do ot join (3 petals);

Form the petals into a ring so you will be ready to work in the free loops on the opposite side of the first petal foundation chain.

Rnd 2. *Working in free loops of petal foundation chain, sc in first ch, dc in next ch, (htr, tr) in next ch, htr in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch, 3 sc in ch-space at tip of the petal; working down the other edge of the petal, sc in next sc, hdc in next st, dc in next st, htr in next st, (tr, htr) in next st, dc in next st, sc in next st, sl st in next ch-space petal separator; repeat from * 2 more times; join with sl st in first sc. Fasten off, leaving a long end for sewing.

Stack one petal round on top of the other so the petals alternate. Use the long yarn end to whipstitch the flowers together around the center hole.

A simple solution to this crochetology problem is “The Kid’s Daffodil Top Hat” (described below).

The purpose of this solution is primarily to employ a technique that would serve to make a suitable head-shaped cover. In this case, crocheting in the round was used. A different more modular technique could be employed, for example, a more interesting solution is to improvise on the structure and shape of the daffodil to make the hat itself. Another solution is to make several daffodils or several petal rounds to construct a shape suitable for head cover.
