Being careful not to twist your sts, join in the rnd. PM. Twisted Ribbing: *[K1tbl, P1]; repeat from * to end of rnd. -- 52 (58) sts. Work twisted ribbing for a total of 6 (8) rounds. Next Rnd: *[M1TP, P26 (29)]; repeat from * 1 time. -- 54 (60) sts. Next Rnd: *[PM, P18 (20)]; repeat from * 3 times. Note: Use the same color/type for these 3 markers, used to separate the 3 bell motifs. Belle Motifs: Rnd 1: *[P8 (9), RC, P8 (9)]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 2: *[P7 (8), RPC, LPC, P7 (8)]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 3: *[P3 (4), K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P1, K1Tbl, P2, K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P3 (4)]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 4: *[P3 (4), K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P2, K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P3 (4)]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 5: *[P3 (4), K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P1, LPC, RPC, P1, K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P3 (4)]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 6: *[P3 (4), K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P2, RC, P2, K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P3 (4)]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 7: *[P3 (4), K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P2, (K1tbl) 2times, P2, K1tbl, P1, K1tbl, P3 (4)]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 8: *[P3 (4), K1tbl, P1, LPC, RPC, LPC, RPC, P1, K1tbl, P3 (4)]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 9: *[P3 (P1, P2tog, P1), K1tbl, P2, RC, P2, RC, P2, K1tbl, P3 (P1, P2tog, P1)]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 10: *[P3, LPC, RPC, LPC, RPC, LPC, RPC, P3]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 11: *[P1, P2tog, P1, LPC, P2, RC, P2, RPC, P1, P2tog, P1]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 12: *[P4, LPC, RPC, LPC, RPC, P4]; repeat from * 3 times. Note: Transition to DPNs around row 13 or when necessary, splitting the remaining sts across 3 needles and removing markers. Put the sts of each bell motif on a single needle and wrap a rubber band around the non-working sts to keep them together and on the needle. Rnd 13: *[P1, P2tog, P2, LPC, P2, RPC, P2, P2tog, P1]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 14: *[P5, LPC, RPC, P5]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 15: *[P1, P2tog, P3, RC, P3, P2tog, P1]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 16: *[P5, (K1tbl) 2 times, P5]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 17: *[P1, P2tog, P1, RPC, LPC, P1, P2tog, P1]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 18: *[P3, K1tbl, P2, K1tbl, P3]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 19: *[P1, P2tog, K1tbl, P2, K1tbl, P2tog, P1]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 20: *[P2, LPC, RPC, P2]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 21: *[P2tog, P1, RC, P1, P2tog]; repeat from * 3 times. Rnd 22: *[P2tog, K2tog, P2tog]; repeat from * 3 times. Cut yarn leaving an 18” tail. Draw yarn through the remaining 9 sts by: (1) sliding all sts to a crochet hook and drawing the yarn through the sts with the hook, or (2) threading the yarn tail through the yarn needle and drawing the needle through the yarn loops. Tie off very tightly, several times to secure the crown and leave the long tail for later, to secure the pompom. Finishing: Use a pompom maker to make a 2½” diameter pompom. Use the long tail at the crown of the hat, threaded into the yarn needle to attach the pompom to the top of the hat. Pass the needle through the center of the pompom, then the center of the crown and back out, several time to secure. Tie a sturdy knot, cut ends. Weave in all ends.
