I used #20 (about 2mm) hemp cord for this bear accessory because I wanted it to have structure without needing to starch it and I also wanted it to have an open, straw hat type of look. Raffia ribbon would also probably work well and be a little less rough to crochet with. Hat measures approximately 4.75” across.

BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY:
-Adjustable Base Ring
-Single Crochet
-Slip Stitch
-Work in the Round

SUGGESTED MATERIALS:
-#20 Hemp Cord
-3.75mm/F Crochet Hook
-12-48” of 1/8” (3mm) Wide Ribbon (optional)
-Small Silk or Polyester Rosettes (optional)
-Scissors
-Small Darning Needle
-Craft Glue (optional)

A NOTE ON GAUGE:
Gauge is not terribly important for this project.
