The Flower Hat

I realize it's probably my gimpy knitting skills, or the fact that I'm racing to finish it at two in the morning, but I choose to blame it on the J Crew Hat pattern. When doing my decreases, the hat got smaller really really really fast, and the top now looks like a three dimensional black and red daisy.

My 11 yr. old BOY cannot wear a daisy hat in public, so it's FROG away. Grrr.... only two days left until christmas, and I don't know if I will have time to finish it now.
