Crocheted Toddler Hat Tutorial

These are really cute little toddler hats suitable for age 1 to 2 years. You can add peeks or flowers, buttons etc. 

I used two different colours of double knit wool together as I like the effect this gives. I used a 4.5mm hook.

Do not join the rounds, just continue the swirl but make sure you use a stitch marker to mark your rounds.

* Start with a "magic ring". SC 6 into center (6)

* HDC 2 in each stitch (12)
* HDC 2 in each st around  (24)
* {1 HDC, HDC 2 in next stitch} x12 (36)
* {1 HDC in next 2 stitches ,  HDC 2 in 3rd stitch} x12 (48)  
* {1 HDC in next 3 stitches ,  HDC 2 in 4th stitch} x12 (60)
* HDC 1 in each stitch until you get the desired size / shape
(approx 12 to 15 more rounds)

The pattern for the flower I have added to the top hat can be found here. Thanks to mycrochetstuff.
