Leprechaun Hat - Toddler

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone.  My grandson, Gabriel, asked me to make him a "Leprechaun Hat" so I whipped him up one this morning.  I'm finally on the road to recovery from my bout with the Flu.  But, I'm still physically drained and weak from having it.

This hat was simple to make.  It took me less than an hour to complete.  I used #4 worsted weight yarn and a 6.0mm hook.

Leprechaun Hat - Toddler
Size:  Toddler (18" - 20" head circumference)

Materials:
--6.0mm hook
--#4 worsted weight yarn in green, yellow and black
--tapestry needle for weaving

U.S. Stitch Abbreviations:
Ch:  chain
Sl st:  slip stitch
St:  stitch(es)
SC:  single crochet
DC:  double crochet
FLO:  front loops only
BLO:  back loops only
Rep:  repeat
MR:  magic ring
FO:  fasten off

Note:
  • Hat is worked in the round, so use a stitch marker to keep track of beginning/ending rounds.
  • I only made 1 round with black yarn, but I think it would've looked better with 2 rounds.  For the pattern, I indicated to complete 2 rounds in black yarn. 

Directions:
1.  10 DC into MR.
2.  2 DC each st around.
3.  2 DC first st, 1 DC next st.  Rep around.
4.  2 DC first st, 1 DC next 2 st.  Rep around.
5.  2 DC first st, 1 DC next 3 st.  Rep around.
6.  1 DC in BLO of each st around.
7-11.  1 DC in each st around.  At the end of Round 11, switch to black yarn.
12-13.  With black yarn, 1 DC in each st around.  At the end of Round 13, switch back to green yarn.
14.  With green yarn, 2 DC in FLO of first st, 1 DC in FLO of next st.  Rep around.
15.  2 DC in first st, 1 DC in next 2 st.  Rep around.
16.  1 SC in each st around.  FO.  Weave ends.

1.  With yellow yarn, Ch22.  FO and leave tail for attaching.  Place in a buckle (rectangular) shape over Rounds 12 and 13 and whipstitch into place.  Weave ends.

That's it.  Simple and easy.  Change up colors for different holidays/seasons.
Happy Crocheting...
