Gingerbread Girl Hats for K and N!

Here are the girls in their Gingerbread Girl Hats.  K wanted a red bow on her hat, and N wanted a big pompom.  The pattern is from Repeat Crafter Me. 

Notes:
Ks Gingerbread Hat: I used the adult size. 66 HDC. Length 7.5” plus 1 round of SC. A little big. So cute! Added a little strip of crochet around the bow after taking yarn around the center of the bow. Strip of center bow: Chain 4, 3 sc in row, chain 1. Do about 5 rows and sew around center of bow. Tack well onto hat. Smile is Lazy Daisy stitches with needle and yarn. Top frosting is chains sewn down.
N's hat:  Adult size made smaller in length. Stop after Round 8. 60 HDC. Then HDC around until 7.5” long. Finish with a round of SC. N wanted a big red pompom instead of a bow. I made the largest size on my pompom maker. Cheeks: add 1 round of SC to finish the the cheeks. Use the tail at the end to sew onto the hat.

Icing on head: Make a long crochet chain. Use the beginning tail to sew the chain onto the hat. Use knitting safety pins to pin the chain in place around the hat. Take the beginning end down through the hat and overlap the beginning and end chain one chain.
I used a Daisy chain and tapestry needle to make the mouth. Cotton thread on the buttons for eyes.
So cute! N’s Gingerbread Girl hat from a few years ago is now too small, so this one will replace her old hat. H hook, Vanna yarn.
