Leaf Assortment Hat

Hello again! this the third part of my 'Leaf Assortment' crochet collection. I had two thirds of a skein left from making the scarf, so I said to myself "why not make a matching hat or something?" and ended up making a hat and head band. The hat is made by joining three simple to make parts; the head band, one round of the leaf assortment pattern, and a few simple rounds to finish off the top. Have fun making it, and I hope you get to crochet the whole set. Stay safe and healthy!
