Add Garland to the Crochet Christmas Tree Hat Pattern
I added garland to every third row on my hat.
Step 1: Decide which round you want to add garland to and join your yarn to the first unworked front loop.
Step 2: Ch 2 and make 3 dc in each front loop around.
Step 3: At the end of the round, join your yarn to the first st, fasten off and weave in your ends.
Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 for each round of garland.
Star Topper for the Crochet Christmas Tree Hat Pattern
Make 2 (front & back)
Rnd 1: Magic circle, 10 hdc, join. (10 stitches)
Rnd 2: Ch 2, 2 hdc in each st, join. (20 stitches)
Rnd 3: Ch 1, *sc, in next st work (hdc, dc), in next st work (tc, ch 1, tc), in next st work (dc, hdc), repeat from * around. Join and fasten off.
Sew the two stars together with the right sides facing out. Lightly stuff with fiber fill as you sew. Attach the star to the top of the hat.
