Are you ready to create a beautiful princess hat? In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of crocheting a princess hat using vibrant yellow and pink yarn. With just a 4.5mm hook and some basic crocheting skills, you can make this enchanting accessory. So, let's get started!

Materials needed

Before we dive into the crocheting process, let's gather the materials you'll need for this project. Here's a list:

• Yellow yarn for the main hat
• Pink yarn for the crown
• 4.5mm crochet hook
• Pair of scissors

Now that you have all the necessary materials, let's move on to crocheting the main hat.

Crocheting the main hat

1. Making a magic ring: Start by creating a magic ring. This will serve as the foundation for your hat. If you're not familiar with this technique, you can find a tutorial on how to make a magic ring.

2. Rnd 1: 10 half double crochets After chaining one, place 10 half double crochets into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight and slip stitch into the top of the first half double crochet to close the round.

3. Rnd 2: 2 half double crochets in each stitch Chain one at the beginning of the round. In each stitch, make two half double crochets. This will increase the number of stitches from 10 to 20. Slip stitch to the top of the first half double crochet to finish the round.

4. Rnd 3: 2 half double crochets in first stitch, 1 in next stitch (repeat pattern) Chain one and make two half double crochets in the first stitch. In the next stitch, make one half double crochet. Repeat this pattern around the round. By the end of this round, you should have 30 half double crochets. Slip stitch to the top of the first half double crochet.

5. Rnd 4: 2 half double crochets in first stitch, 1 in next two stitches (repeat pattern) Chain one and make two half double crochets in the first stitch. In the next two stitches, make one half double crochet each. Repeat this pattern around the round. The total number of stitches should be 40. Slip stitch to the top of the first half double crochet.

6. Rnd 5: 2 half double crochets in first stitch, 1 in next three stitches (repeat pattern) Chain one and make two half double crochets in the first stitch. In the next three stitches, make one half double crochet each. Repeat this pattern around the round. This will bring the total number of stitches to 50. Slip stitch to the top of the first half double crochet.

7. Rnd 6: 2 half double crochets in first stitch, 1 in next four stitches (repeat pattern) Chain one and make two half double crochets in the first stitch. In the next four stitches, make one half double crochet each. Repeat this pattern around the round. The total number of stitches should now be 60. Slip stitch to the top of the first half double crochet.

8. Rnd 7: 1 half double crochet in each stitch At the beginning of each round, chain one. From this round onwards, you will no longer increase the number of stitches. Simply make one half double crochet in each stitch. Continue this pattern until you reach the desired length of your hat.

9. Crocheting the crown Once you have reached the desired length, it's time to start crocheting the crown. Join the pink yarn to the yellow yarn by slip stitching into any stitch at the back of the hat. Chain one and make a half double crochet in the same stitch. Now, working in the back loops only, make 60 half double crochets around the hat. Slip stitch to the top of the first half double crochet to secure the round.

10. Finishing touches To add a decorative touch to the crown, you will create peaks. Insert your hook into any stitch where the pink yarn is joined to the yellow yarn. Chain one, then slip stitch into the next stitch. Make a single crochet, followed by a half double crochet and a double crochet in the subsequent stitches. In the next stitch, make two triple crochets. Then, create a bobble stitch by working one triple crochet in the same stitch, turning your work, and making a bobble stitch in the top of the last stitch. Turn your work back around and make another triple crochet in the same stitch. Proceed to work down the other side of the peak by making a double crochet, a half double crochet, a single crochet, and a slip stitch. Repeat this pattern five more times around the crown.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a pretty princess hat. Weave in any loose ends to ensure a neat finish. Once complete, your hat will look enchanting, ready to be worn by a little princess.
