Irish hat free pattern

I made this pattern as a present for a friend of mine. I think it also works great as a fathers day present.

You could also use my pattern of the mad hatters hat to create a present, on top of a bottle with soda or maybe filled with candy.

abbreviations:

ch - chain

sc - single crochet

sl - slip stitch

dc - double crochet

inc - increase

dec - decrease
