Crochet Rapunzel hat

I used 3-ply light pink acrylic yarn for the hat and thick yellow (Monaco Brand) for the hair. I also used hook #5.

For the crown:

Round 1: Ch4, 10 dc on the first ch, sl-st on the top of ch4.

Round 2: Ch3, dc on the same st, 2dc in each st around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 3: Ch3, dc on the same st, *dc on the next st, 2dc in each st around. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 4: Ch3, dc on the same st, *dc on the next 2 sts, 2dc in each st around. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 5: Ch3, dc on the same st, *dc on the next 3 sts, 2dc in each st around. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 6: Ch3, dc on the same st, *dc on the next 4 sts, 2dc in each st around. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 7: Ch3, dc on the same st, *dc on the next 5 sts, 2dc in each st around. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 8: Ch3, dc on the same st, *dc on the next 6 sts, 2dc in each st around. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 9: Ch3, dc on the same st, *dc on the next 7 sts, 2dc in each st around. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 10: Ch3, dc on the same st, *dc on the next 8 sts, 2dc in each st around. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 11: Ch3, dc on the same st, *dc on the next 9 sts, 2dc in each st around. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Note: add more rounds until you reach the desired head circumference.

For the brim:

Round 1: Ch3, dc on the same st, dc in each st around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 2: Ch3, 2dc on the same st, *skip 2 sts, 3dc on the next st. Repeat * around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 3: Ch3, dc on the next sts around. Sl-st on top of ch3.

Round 4-12: repeat round 2 and 3 alternately.

Round 13: Ch2, hdc on the next st and each st around. Sl-st on top of ch2.

For the hair:

With the desired length, cut yarn and tie on each st around.

For me to obtain 13 inches long, I used 30 inches yarn, get the middle portion inserted into the st and make a knot resulting into 2-15 inches long yarn.

For me to obtain 26 inches long, I used 60 inches yarn, get the middle portion inserted into the st and make a knot resulting into 2-30 inches long yarn.

With all the stitches having the hair already, divide it into 2 one for left and the other for the right side.

Divide it each side into 3 and braid it loosely until the end. Tie securely.

Make ch25 and tie on the braided hair.

For the leaves: 
Make 2 pieces:

Ch15, sc on the 2^ndch from the hook, sc on the next 2, hdc on the next 3 sts, dc on the next 3 sts, tc on the next 3 sts, 7tc on the last st. working on the other side,  tc on the next 3 sts, dc on the next 3 sts, hdc on the next 3 sts, sc on the next 2, sl-st on the first sc.

For the flower:

Using white yarn: Ch4, 10dc on the first chain. Sl-st on top of ch4.

Change the yarn to your desired color of petals:

First layer: Sl-st on top of ch4, *ch3, skip 1 st, sc on the next. Repeat * 4 more times.

Ch1, on the first ch loop make: sc, hdc, 5dc, hdc, sc. Do this to the rest of the loops. Sl-st on the ch1.

Second layer: sl-st at the back on the same st where you connect ch3 of the first layer.

Ch5, skip 1 st, sc on the next. Repeat 4 more times.

Ch1, on the first ch loop make: sc, hdc, 7dc, hdc, sc. Do this to the rest of the loops. Sl-st on the ch1.

Sew the flower and leaves on the desired area.

Weave all ends and that's it!
