Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials:

• White yarn (double-ply)
• 2.5mm crochet hook
• Yellow yarn (for the nose)
• Black yarn (for the eyes)
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Now that you have everything ready, let's dive into the step-by-step process of crocheting the hat.

Crocheting the Hat

Step 1: Making the Magic Ring

To start, we will create a magic ring. Take the white yarn and wrap it around two fingers, making a cross at the center. Hold the intersection with your thumb and middle finger, then insert your crochet hook under the first strand of yarn. Grab the second strand of yarn and pull it through the loop created. This will form your magic ring. Inside the magic ring, we will work six single crochet stitches.

Step 2: Working Single Crochet Rounds

In this step, we will continue working single crochet stitches in each round without increasing. This will help create the base of the hat. Insert your hook into the first single crochet of the previous round and make a single crochet stitch. Repeat this for each stitch in the round. Continue working in this manner for the next few rounds.

Step 3: Increasing Rounds

Now, we will start increasing the number of stitches in each round to shape the hat. To do this, insert your hook into the first single crochet of the previous round and make a single crochet stitch. In the next stitch, make two single crochet stitches. Repeat this pattern for the required number of stitches in the round, increasing by two stitches each time.

Step 4: Continuing with Single Crochet Rounds

After a few increasing rounds, we will continue with single crochet rounds without any further increases. This will help maintain the shape of the hat. Simply make one single crochet stitch in each stitch of the previous round.

Step 5: Shaping the Hat

In this step, we will shape the hat by adding decreases in some rounds. This will create a tapered effect towards the top of the hat. Follow the instructions provided in the video to decrease the stitches appropriately and achieve the desired shape.

Step 6: Finishing the Hat

Once you have reached the desired length for the hat, finish off by slip stitching into the first single crochet of the last round. Leave a long tail of yarn for sewing later.

Now that the hat is complete, let's move on to making the nose and eyes.

Making the Nose and Eyes

To make the nose, take the yellow yarn and create a slip knot. Chain three stitches, then make one single crochet in the next stitch. In the following stitch, make three single crochet stitches. Finally, make one single crochet in the last stitch. Slip stitch into the first stitch to secure the nose. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing.

For the eyes, use the black yarn to make two slip knots. Chain three stitches, then make one single crochet in the next stitch. In the last stitch, make two single crochet stitches. Slip stitch into the first stitch to secure the eye. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing.

Assembly of the Hat

To assemble the hat, locate the back of the hat. Attach the nose and eyes using the long tails of yarn and a yarn needle. Refer to the video for guidance on the placement of the nose and eyes. Once everything is in place, secure the yarn tails by weaving them into the stitches of the hat.
