Free crochet baby barrette pattern

I've come down with a slight case of baby fever recently and have been trying to cure it by crocheting a bunch of newborn sized beanies. FYI that doesn't work
It just gets worse.... Anywho I thought I'd share the pattern I came up with for this adorable 0-3mo size rose embellished barrette :-)

Materials: worsted weight yarn (I used red heart super saver) Size H/8 crochet hook, stitch markers (I just use yarn or a bobby pin or a safety pin..... whatever I have on hand) and a tapestry needle
Hat
This pattern is worked in the round
Rnd1: Ch4, 10dc in 4th ch from hook, place stitch marker in 10th dc. Pull tail of first chain loop (the chain that you just made 10 dc in) tight to round out your stitches. (10dc)
***Note:ch3 does not count as dc.

Rnd2: 2dc in 1st dc of rnd1 continue with 2dc in each stitch until the end of the round. Place stitch marker in last dc (20dc)
Rnd3: *2dc in next stitch, 1dc in next* repeat from *to* place stitch marker in last stitch (30dc)

Rnd4: *2dc in next stitch, 1dc in next 2 stitches* repeat from *to* place stitch marker in last stitch (40dc)

Rnd5: *2dc in next stitch, 1dc in next 3 stitches* repeat from *to* place stitch marker in last stitch (50dc)

Rnd6: *2dc in next stitch, 1dc in next 4 stitches* repeat from *to* place stitch marker in last stitch (60dc)

Rnd7: 1dc in each stitch around. Place stitch marker in last stitch (60dc)

Rnd8: yarn over, insert hook in stitch, yarn over, pull up loop, yarn over, pull through 1 loop yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over, pull up loop, yarn over, pull through 1 loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull through all remaining loops on hook. (Dc2tog) *1dc in next 4 stitches, dc2tog* repeat from *to* place stitch marker in last stitch (48dc)

Rnd9:Dc2tog in next stitch *1dc in next 3 stitches, dc2tog in next stitch* repeat from *to* place stitch marker in last stitch (36dc)

Rnd10:1dc in each stitch around place stitch marker in last stitch (36dc)

Rnd11-12:1sc in each stitch around (36sc)

Tie off and weave in ends

Roses:for the larger roses (make 2) Ch23 sc in 3rd ch from hook *2dc in next stitch, ch1, 2tc in next stitch, ch1, 2dc in next stitch, ch1, 2sc in next stitch, slip stitch into next stitch, 2sc in next stitch, ch1* repeat from *to* until the end of the chain and tie off

For the smaller rose (make 1) ch15, sc in 3rd ch from hook *2dc in next stitch, ch1, 2sc in next stitch, slip stitch in the next stitch, 2sc in next stitch, ch1* repeat from *to* until the end of the chain then tie off.

Now just roll your roses up like a cinnamon roll and use your tapestry needle to throw a couple stitches through the center of the rose to keep it rolled, tie off and stitch them onto your hat :-)

hope you enjoy this pattern! And if you aren't big on crocheting, just email me at HappyHookCrochet@gmail.com And I can make one of these hats for you!
