Pixie Hat

Here's the hat without ties.

Here it is with ties. It comes highly recommended from Dexter.

I originally got this pattern from someone's blog. They have some discrepancies in regards to how many double crochets they tell you to do and how many there are supposed to be in the completed row. I'm going to do my best to write a corrected pattern here, as well as post some pictures I took of my son and his roommate wearing them.




This pattern calls for an H hook, but I crochet very tightly so I didn't get a toddler sized hat until I went up to a J hook. The hat I made with an I hook barely fits the 13 month old living at my house.
