Introduction

Crocheting is a wonderful and creative hobby that allows you to make beautiful and unique accessories. In this tutorial, we will be learning how to crochet a beautiful bunny hat for kids. This is the second part of the tutorial, where we will continue working on the hat and complete it step by step.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials needed for this project. You will need:

• Crochet hook (size may vary depending on the desired size)
• Yarn in the color of your choice
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Step 1: Moving the Side Dividers

To start, we need to move the side dividers to the last round of the hat. These dividers will help us mark the stitches for the ears. You can use stitch markers or simply tie a different color yarn to mark the stitches.

Step 2: Marking the Dec Crest Stitches

Next, we need to mark the stitches where we will begin crocheting the left ear. These stitches are located on the back of the hat, a few stitches away from the dec crest stage. Use stitch markers or yarn to mark these stitches.

Step 3: Crocheting the Left Ear

To crochet the left ear, we need to join the yarn to the work. Use the same color yarn as the hat and insert the hook through the double crochet stitch to the left of the divider. Pull the yarn through and chain three to bring up the yarn. This will be the first round of the ear.

Step 4: Working on the Back of the Hat

Continue working on the back of the hat with the marked stitches for the left ear. Double crochet eight stitches in a row. This will form the base of the ear. On the previous round, we had three double crochet stitches before the dec crest stage. So, work a decrease of three stitches into one. To do this, work double crochet three together.

Step 5: Working on the Front of the Hat

Now, let's move to the front of the hat. Skip twelve stitches away from the dec crest stitch and begin crocheting the right ear. Double crochet eight stitches in a row, similar to the left ear. Again, work a decrease of three stitches into one to shape the ear.

Step 6: Decreasing Stitches

As we continue crocheting, we will encounter more decrease stitches. Before each divider, we need to decrease three stitches into one. This will create a curve and shape the ear properly. Follow the same steps of working double crochet stitches together to achieve this decrease.

Step 7: Continuing with Double Crochet Stitches

After each decrease, we will continue working double crochet stitches in each of the following stitches. This will maintain the stitch count and ensure a smooth and neat finish. Work in this manner until you reach the desired length for the ears.

Step 8: Completing the Hat

Once you have reached the desired length for the ears, complete the remaining rounds with double crochet stitches. Do not increase or decrease any stitches during these rounds. This will give the hat a consistent and even look.

Finally, finish off the ears by securing the ends and hiding them inside the ear. Use a yarn needle to weave the yarn tail through the stitches and trim off any excess yarn. Repeat the same steps for the right ear.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed crocheting a beautiful bunny hat for kids. This hat will make a perfect accessory or a thoughtful handmade gift. Enjoy the process of crocheting and creating something unique with your skills.
