Kami's Stegosaurus Hat

And the pink stegosaurus hat I made for my friend's daughter, Kami! :)

For this hat, I used Lion Brand Pound of Love in "Bubblegum" and Joann Sensations in a purple-pink gradient and a 5.0mm hook.

Hat:
1: 12 hdc into a magic circle
2: *1 hdc into st, 2 hdc into next, rep from * - 18 sts
3: *2 hdc into st, 2 hdc into next, rep from * - 24 sts
4: *3 hdc into st, 2 hdc into next, rep from * - 30 sts
5: *4 hdc into st, 2 hdc into next, rep from * - 36 sts
6-? Increase until diameter is the size you want. I increased to 48 sts at row 7 for a hat approx 3-6mos
?-12 (more if you're making the hat a bigger size, less if smaller size): hdc around all sts.

Plates:
1: 6sc into a magic circle
2: sc around - 6 sts
3: 2 sc, 2sc in next st, rep - 8 sts
4: 3 sc, 2sc in next st, rep - 10 sts
5: 4 sc, 2sc in next st, rep - 12 sts
(6: continue inc until desired size)
