I love Christmas--the Christmas season, the decorations, the happiness, celebrating, everything about it. I crocheted this very festive Christmas hat for my granddaughter.
The hat is based on the idea of the "ugly Christmas sweaters." But, it turns out so cute! I love Christmas sweaters, too, and don't find most of them ugly. :)
K loves her hat! The pattern is the Ugly Christmas Sweater Beanie, by Hooked on Sunshine. Every pattern round is different, and most rounds have a color change, too, so there are lots of ends to weave in. There are lots of different stitches, too. Hooked on Sunshine has amazing and beautiful patterns for afghans, too.
I really enjoyed crocheting this colorful hat, and K loves wearing it!
My notes: Size 4.5 mm hook and Red Heart Super Saver yarns in red, green, and white.
The hat turned out too long, so I skipped rounds 25 and 26. I also skipped some of the last rounds, and my last round is Front and Back post HDC instead of DC. 9" long. Width is fine.
If bringing up colors for the last few rounds, make sure to join to the top of the Chain 2 at the end of the round with the new color, and then chain 2, which counts as the first stitch. R. 16, popcorn is into the middle of the SC.
