If this seems familiar, it’s the same first few steps as the snowflake motif from both Day One’s “Cocoa Bear” and Day Ten’s “Snowflake Globe Ornament” patterns! Send one long straight stitch from just above the brim to the top of the hat, then cross over. If you’d like to add the snowflake motif, thread your tapestry needle with your contrasting yarn color (I chose red, the same color as the brim and pom-pom). I usually finish up with one final trim on the pom-pom after I attach it: Simple Snowflake Motif Cut this yarn short – no need to weave in, as it hides inside the top of the hat! Once you’re done trimming, thread one of the long yarn ends and sew it down through the top of the hat.ĭo the same with the other yarn end, then tie a knot inside the hat to attach the pom-pom to the top. Keep trimming the yarn to give the pom-pom a more rounded shape! Now it’s time to give the pom-pom a haircut!įirst, trim all of the loops – but leave the long yarn ends you used to tie the pom-pom as we’ll use these to attach the pom-pom to the top of the hat. Slide the yarn that’s wrapped around your fingers off, and tie a second knot to secure the yarn. Unthread the needle and tie the two ends of the yarn together to cinch the pom-pom. Using your threaded tapestry needle, send the yarn between your index and middle finger. Be careful not to pull too tightly! I did, and it made my fingertips turn purple a little! Next, wrap the yarn 13-15 times around your left hand’s index and middle fingers, towards the tip.
Once we start wrapping the pom-pom, you’re going to be very glad we did this first. With a contrasting color (I chose red, the same as my hat’s brim), first cut a short length and preemptively thread your tapestry needle.

Use a contrasting yarn color – I chose red.įasten on so you’ll be working counter-clockwise, with the right side of your stitches facing the inside of the hat. Start in white yarn, or whatever color you’re using to make your hat! Note: For this project, increases and decreases are single crochet increases/ decreases unless otherwise specified! (This is generally the standard in amigurumi projects.) ML If you see an abbreviation that you are unfamiliar with, please refer back to this chart. Some of these may not be used in the pattern – these are the stitches that I use most frequently! Worsted weight yarn in white and red (you can also use whatever colors you’d like!) Remember, using a larger hook and yarn of a different weight will affect the finished size of your project! 5mm crochet hook My project ended up measuring about 2.5 inches tall.

You’ll also need to make a mini pom-pom, but I’ll walk you through how to make one of those too. Today’s make also involves some embroidery for a simple snowflake motif, but I’ll walk you through how to do that. I recommend using a stitch marker to help you keep track of your rounds. Today’s pattern is an amigurumi pattern, which means you’ll be working in a continuous spiral of single crochet stitches. Our last project is a mini pom-pom hat! This can be added to a Christmas display, hung as an ornament, or added to the snowman make from Day Ten. Thanks for sticking with us through it all – be sure to check out all of the previous makes if you haven’t been working along with us throughout the last 12 days. We’ve made it to the last day of our Twelve Days of Christmas Crochet!
