Snowflake Hat Crochet Pattern

Hi y’all! I’m not sure about y’all but here in Michigan we already got snow (and hail) a couple days ago so I knew I had to share this hat with y’all. It was also perfect, because I got a request to make bigger sizes for the Newborn Preemie Snowflake Hat. You can even make the 18 Inch Doll Knotted Snowflake Hat as well.

This is a simple Snowflake Hat, but fun to put together and now that I think about it, it would look even cuter with the Mini Top Hat Crochet Pattern. I’d love to see how y’all make it, especially if you add the Mini Top Hat or even the Plain Jane Bow!

Snowflake

I used CB yarn and a yarn needle for the hand stitched snowflake. I started, inside the hat at the center point of the snowflake. Bring the yarn to the outside of the hat making a 2-3″ stitch, with the yarn coming back inside the hat to make the end on the stitch. From the inside move the needle 1/4-1/2″ away from the 2-3″ stitch, bring the needle to the outside of the hat. Make a stitch to the end of the 2-3″ stitch. Do the same on the other side to form a “V”. From the inside of the hat, take the needle up from the middle again. Continue in the same manner as before as many times as you would like. I made 6 points. Cut yarn and tie both ends together.
