Hello everyone! I'm not sure about what it's like where you are but here in Michigan, we've already had snow (and hail) a couple of days ago so I knew I had to share this hat with you today. It was also perfect because I got a request to make bigger sizes for the Newborn Preemie Snowflake Crochet Hat. You can even make the 18 Inch Doll Knotted Snowflake Hat as well.
This is a simple crochet 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. You could also try this with 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, and 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.

I hope y'all enjoyed this quick and fun project!
