Why This Pattern?
I designed this pattern because I needed to make a Santa Hat that is:
- Fast and easy to whip up,
- Doesn’t need much concentration with counting stitches and keeping track of rounds,
- I don’t have to strain my eyes looking for the next stitch to work into,
- Can be adapted to any size.
Notes
– This Santa Hat is crocheted from the top down. No need to start with a Magic Circle. It’s really difficult to close the magic circle using velvet yarn. There are some tricks on how to do this, but it’s totally unnecessary for this pattern.
– You can make the pattern larger or smaller by either: changing the type of yarn and/or hook size, adding or reducing the number of rounds, check the hat sizing template for more info.
– Numbers at the end of each round (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that round.
– The first ch 2 or each round does NOT count as a stitch.
– Please note that I use US crochet terms.
