My Mini Santa Hat inspired by Day 4 of the DROPS Christmas Calendar 2011.
I designed and crocheted this today whilst travelling in the car to meet family for lunch near Northampton. Hopefully the pattern makes sense as it wasn't written in ideal circumstances - I somehow ended up with an extra stitch so I simply did an extra double crochet into it!
4mm Hook DK Yarn in Red and White as before plus an oddment of eyelash yarn or similar.
Dc = Double Crochet Ch = Chain Ss = Slip stitch St/s = Stitch/es
Each round starts with a chain which is counted as 1 double crochet.
Each round ends with a slip stitch into first stitch in round.
Using Red, make a magic circle and work 3 x DC into it. Join into a ring with a Ss.
1 Dc in each st = 3sts.
2 Dc in each st = 6 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 6 sts.
*1 Dc in next st, 2 Dc in next st* repeat to end of round = 9 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 9 sts.
*1 Dc in next st, 1 Dc in next st, 2 Dc in next st* repeat to end of round = 12 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 12 sts.
*1 Dc in next st, 1 Dc in next st, 1 Dc in next st, 2 Dc in next st* repeat to end of round = 16 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 16 sts.
*1 Dc in next st, 1 Dc in next st, 1 Dc in next st, 2 Dc in next st* repeat to end of round = 20 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 20 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 20 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 20 sts.
*1 Dc in next st, 1 Dc in next st, 1 Dc in next st, 1 Dc in next st, 2 Dc in next st* repeat to end of round = 24 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 24 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 24 sts.
1 Dc in each st = 24 sts.
Change to White Yarn/s. If using eyelash or similar add to White DK yarn and hook as one yarn.
1 Dc in each st = 24 sts.
*1 Dc in next st, 2 Dc in next st* repeat to end of round = 38sts.
Fasten off all ends.
Crochet Bobble using White DK and eyelash yarns.
Into a magic ring crochet 2ch, 8 Dc. Ss to join and tightly draw up circle. This is the top of the bobble.
*Join 2 sts together by inserting hook through next st, yarn round hook and pull through first loop, hook through next stitch, yarn round hook and pull through all loops on hook.* repeat to end of round. Use DK tail to thread though all the sts in last round and draw up tightly, whilst using other tails to stuff bobble. Attach to point of hat.
