Tutorial: Tiny Crocheted Bowler Hat

Okay...so this was made as a back-up plan for the clowns in Comedy of Errors.  These would look great on a headband or perched over a bun on the top of your head.  Unfortunately, I am not sure the pattern is exactly right.  I made the second, and while it looked great, it did look slightly different.  If you have time to try this, post the results and any changes you made!  Good luck.
