Abbreviations / special stitches (US term)

• Notes:
• Beg ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
• The first stitch of each round works in the first st of the previous round.
• This hat works from bottom-up.
• First you will need to make a crown part and then the body of the hat work red and white stripes with bobbles.
• When working bobble stitches in contrasting color, you need to carry  the yarn unworked yarn through the stitches. 
• Find the video tutorial to see how to crochet bobble in contrasting color here.
• When finishing each red and white stripes I didn’t cut the yarn when the color changed.. Carry up the color from the wrong side of the hat when it needs to, so no need to cut the yarn when the row finishes, (see the photo below). If you are uncomfortable with carrying yarn you can cut the yarn and join when it is needed.
