Crochet Miniature Hat

Happy New Year everyone!

We had our short crochet break last month but I really don't stop crocheting. #crochetaddict I tried to crochet bows and butterflies. I already took step by step photos of how to crochet a bow and I'll share that soon here.

Meanwhile, if you remember I have already made a crochet mini top hat headband. This time I try to make mini hats with bow.   Here they are!

Crochet Miniature Hat
These are just small hats, around 2.5-3" in diameter, which can be attached to an alligator clip or a headband/elastic band. 

I am sure you want to know how to crochet a mini hat, right? Here's how:

Start with a magic ring.

Hat Top

R1. Ch1. 8sc into the ring. Pull the magic ring to tigthen. Sl st.
R2. Ch1. 1sc in the same st, 2sc in each st around. Sl st.
R3. Ch1. 1sc in the same st, *(2sc in next st, 1sc in next st). Repeat * around. Sl st.
