Crochet Woman's Hat Using Riddle Cluster Stitch

I had seen a great tutorial on crocheting a scarf using the Riddle Stitch.   It seemed like it was a very easy stitch to work into a project.  

I decided to make a hat and improvise using this particular stitch.   Once I started using this stitch, I found that it's not the same when you work in the round as when you make it flat like a scarf.

I had to improvise as I went along.   I do not have a written pattern for the hat.
However, if you're interested in this stitch, you can find it in the following link, How to Crochet the Riddle Stitch

This is what the hat looks like.

Crochet Spiral Women's Ribbed Hat

This is a personal pattern that I improvised on from a sketch diagram that I made.  It is done in DC, FPDC.   I added a SC brim to complete the hat.  Fits most women's and teenager sizes.   I do not have a written pattern for this yet. 
Skill level: Intermediate 
FPDC = Front Post Double Crochet 
DC = Double crochet 
Sc = Single Crochet

I used 1 skein (256 yds) of Red Heart Soft Yarn Solids and 5.5 mm hook.
