It's not too late to whip up one of these quick and easy Crochet Christmas Ornament Hats! A simple project for beginners and a great last minute gift idea. This pattern that makes a nice set (I am thinking matching family photos, twins or multiples, and perfect for siblings). Crochet them in any color and feel free to add some embellishments! How about sparkles, sequins, or surface crochet a design? Lots of possibilities! This was inspired by my Dreidel Hat and pretty much uses the exact same pattern. I love how crochet allows me to turn one design into something else with just a couple tweaks!
Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Scarlet red, Fern green, and Silver Gray.
- Size H or I (5.5MM) crochet hook. I recommend an H hook but I couldn't find mine so I ended up using an I hook for the ones pictured.
- Tapestry needle
- Poly Fill Fiber stuffing
