Materials:
Any worsted weight yarn in 2 colors (A&B) I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice (Mammoth Cave) Red Heart Soft (Ivory) J (6.0 mm) ? Yarn needle
Gauge:
with J hook I and 2 strands of yarn: 4 rows and 6 stitches of HDC = 2x2 in.
Abbreviations:
SC - single crochet HDC - half double crochet FPDC - front post double crochet BPDC - back post double crochet ch - chain slst - slip stitch color A - main color (hat and outer ear) color B - secondary color (inner ear) R - round
Notes:
chain never counts as a stitch, unless otherwise stated “SC in same” means that you place a SC in the same stitch that you slst in “SC in next" means that you SC in the very next stitch ·“4 HDC" means that you put 1 HDC in each of the next 4 stitches. A pattern increase will be written as “2 HDC in each of the next 6 st" or "2 SC in next' “2 SC in next 2” means that you place 2 SC in the next 2 stitches · Numbers in (） are the total number of stitches after completing the row
Hat
Double strand of color A J hook (5.5 mm)
Always begin your row in the same stitch that you placed the slst. You have the option to make the hat with or without the ribbing around the bottom. If you prefer your hat without it, simply replace the FPDC rows with a HDC in eachstitcharound. Be sure to measure your ending hat length. You may need to add or remove a row or two depending on your gauge/child's head size
Approximate final length:
0-3 months - 5.5 in. 3-6 months - 6 in. 6-12 months - 6.5 in. 1-3 years - 7-7.5 in.

Ears: Worked with a double strand of yarn
For ALL Highlighted Stitches:
Insert your hook between the bars of the stitches from the opposite side of the chain. This will help avoid gaps that form when working both sides of the chain. If you prefer, you may work in thechainitself
Large Ears
J hook (6.0 mm)
\*Ears are worked in the round. When you come to the end of the chain, do NOT turn - continue working around the other side of the chain.
