Materials
- I/5.5 mm crochet hook for the hat
- H/5 mm crochet hook for eyes and cheeks
- Worsted weight yarn in black, green white and pink
- Tapestry needle
- Stitch markers
Gauge
Gauge is very important for this pattern.
15 dc= 4″ and 10 rows= 4″
Firstly, make a gauge swatch by crocheting the first five rounds of the hat. Then, measure your swatch across the middle. If your swatch measures close to 4.5 inches then your gauge matches mine.
If your swatch is larger than 4.5 inches, your gauge is looser than mine. Try using a smaller crochet hook.
If your swatch is smaller than 4.5 inches, your gauge is tighter than mine. Try using a larger crochet hook.

Pattern Notes
- This pattern starts with a magic circle (also known as a magic ring or adjustable ring). If you are a beginner crocheter then you should check out my magic circle tutorial.
- Leave a long yarn tail for weaving in when you make your magic circle.
- The chain at beginning of each round does not count as your first stitch.
- After each round, join your yarn to the first double crochet stitch with a slip stitch.
- Repeat the pattern instructions between the asterisks (*) for the remainder of the round.
- You are crocheting in the round and also working from the top down.
- If needed, you can make any size hat longer or shorter by repeating or leaving out the last row.
