While the little guy and I were watching “Tupty” (that’s Thomas and Friends, for those of you that can’t speak toddler), I finished a few of my Christmas hats. He was more than willing to model for me!
To get the basic idea of what I did, you can check out the Santa hat for a new born, and my post on a quick elf hat. For these hats, I used Red Heart Light & Lofty, and a 10mm crochet hook.
Round 1: Make a magic ring and ch 3. Make 4dc into the ring. Join to first dc, not the ch3.
Round 2: Ch3, 2dc in each dc. (if making the elf hat, switch colours every two rows)
Round 3: Ch3, *2dc in first, 1dc in second* repeat between * * 3 more times. 12dc
Continue to increase in this fashion for 8 rows (32dc)
If making the Santa hat, continue with red, if making the elf hat, switch to white
Row 9: dc all around
Row 10-12: sc all around with white
I’m still experimenting with this pattern. I’ll have to do one post once I get it all figured out for all sizes. Hope you enjoy the pattern!
PS – 50 posts! Thanks for reading!
