Scalloped Beanie - Free Crochet Pattern

I saw a picture of a beanie just like this and I fell in love! I searched and I could not find a pattern for it anywhere, free or for sale. So, I had to make it up, and it turned out great!

 

Pattern Updated 1/4/13: fixed a lot of typos. I have heard from people the pattern runs small. Will be checking sizing in the next update.
