Little Elf Hat




           Christmas is a favorite holiday at our house, in fact, my kids have already broken into the Christmas movies this year!  But, that got me thinking that I need to start working on my Christmas crochet projects.  So, I worked up this cute little Elf hat in toddler size (I am including instructions for a larger hat as well) and thought I would share the pattern on my blog!   This is fairly easy to make, it starts with a magic ring and is worked in the round.  I have included a photo tutorial for the pom-pom as well as a link to a video tutorial. :)

Materials: 

~H/8-5.00 mm crochet hook
~Worsted Weight yarn (I used Vanna's Choice in Scarlet and Fern and Bernat Pipsqueak in      white for the brim and pom-pom)
~Yarn Needle

Special instructions: Join all Rds with a sl st to first St of Rd, NOT your Ch
