Let me show you how to crochet this simple Half Double Crochet hat, that uses scraps of fabric to make an adorable tag at the brim. You can use left over fabric after making an adorable matching skirt.
I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.
You won’t believe how easy and fast it is to make the Half Double Crochet Hat.
There are 3 sizes included in the free crochet pattern for this hat. The hat is the perfect match to this flannel skirt with a snowflake print. The skirt is so easy to sew. Adding an adorable, fat bow on the waistband of the skirt is also easy. Make two fat bows and put the second fat bow on an elastic pony tail holder. You will find yourself adding fat bows to everything!
You can follow the step by step tutorial on my video on youtube.
