Chain 2 will be equal to a half double crochet. I didn't work this hat in a continuous round, because you won't be able to see the seam. This also helps to keep track of your rows. We will be flipping the hat inside out when finished. J Trust me, it will be cute. Let's get started...
Stitch Gauge
Using the K hook and angel hair and vanna's choice yarn held together: Work a 4 inch square and check gauge. Use the hook that gets you to this gauge for the hat. It is more important that you have 11 hdc in 4 inches than the same height as me. Chances are that I squeezed more rows in my 4" than most of you...LOL I think it is stress that makes me do that. 11 hdc x 8 rows= 4 inches square
Finished Size:
3-6 Months - circum. 14"-17", hat height 6.5"-7" 6-12 Months -circum. 16"-19", hat height 7.5" 12-24 Months - circum. 18"-20", hat height 8" Child 3-10 years- circum. 19"-20.5" hat height 8.5" Teen /Adult- circum. 20.5"-22" hat height 9"-10" Hat Pattern for all sizes is made with K Hook. \*\* (see above) Hold both the worsted weight blue and the angel hair yarn at the same time and work the hat.

Finishing the hat
\*\*Now we willflip the hat inside out and tuck in all the loose strings. I think the inside of the hat is a little hairier and has a cute look to it. This is how we will leave it when attaching the face and twists
Twisty tails
Use the Vanna's choice or any worsted weight yarn in hat colol
Start with an I hook and sl st into the earflaps between the 2 hdc on the last row. Now we will chain 40. Switch to a smaller hook size...H hook. and slip stitch in the second chain from hook. Make 2 sc in that same stitch. Working back up towards your earflaps make 3 sc in each chain. When you get to the top of your twist slip stitch into the earflap between the 2 hdc on the last row of earflap, again. Fasten off, leave a tail to weave into the earflap. Now you can add a coordinating color if you want. Sl st into the earflap, 2sc in each sc all the way down the twist. Fasten off, leave a tail to weave in the end. (Repeat for second earflap) Teeth with grass green or fern green and G Hook (make 5) (For baby size use F Hook)

Mouth with black and G Hook (For baby size, shorten to ch 25)
Ch 30, hdc in the 3rd ch from hook, hdc in all sts across. Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing. I like to attach the mouth before anything else. Start by sewing the top of the mouth onto the hat. Then tuck the tops of the teeth under the mouth and sew them in place. Then sew the bottom of the mouth over the teeth. 1 orange or shocking pink and G Hook. (For baby size use F Hook.
Rnd 1: Ch 10, hdc in 3rd ch from hook, hdc in the next 6 sts, 3 hdc in last st, turn upside down and work the bottom of the chains. Hdc in the next 6 ch, 2hd in the last st, sl st to the beginning. Rnd 2: ch 2, hdc in each stitch around, on the corners where 3hdc were made in one stitch from rnd 1, you will put 2hdc in each of those 3 sts on each end. So 6 hdc around the turns. When round is complete, sl st to ch 2. Rnd 3: ch 2, hdc in each stitch. Around the corners you will do 2 hdc, 1 hdc, 2 hdc, 1 hdc, 2 hdc, When your round is complete sl st to ch 2. Fasten off and leave a long tail Attach two %" buttons to nose to look like nostrils. You can crochet them instead by making two small circles. h 3, sl st to form a ring, ch 1, 5 sc in ring, sl st to ch 1. Leave a tail and sew to nose.

Attach a %" button in a color and a %" button in black to the front of each eye, like pictured. I used black yarn to sew them on the eye. Tie a secure knot in the back and weave in ends. No one will see this anyway, as the eye will be sewn to the hat.
Ears working with 2 strands of Vanna's Choice Aqua or Vanna's Choice Baby Pink Poodle and I hook (make 2)
Leave a long tail at the beginning for sewing ear to hat.
