Make this fun and whimsical hat that accommodates two buns, ponytails, or pigtails for all kinds of fun and frolic this season! Can I hear a ''ja ja" ?!?

This instantly downloadable pattern will guide you to make this hat from start to finish with the option of four sizes (infant to teen). The pattern includes thirteen (13) pages of easy to read instructions with colorful instructional photos that will guide you step-by-step.  A 2-page abbreviated version is also included. The pattern calls for a DK weight wool blend yarn but any size 3 or 4 weight yarn that you like should do the trick.

Imagine the smile upon receiving this as a thoughtful gift that is not only functional but fashionable, as well!

The pattern is written in US terms and is suitable for an intermediate crocheter. With the knowledge or experience of a "front-post-half-double-crochet" aka fphdc the pattern may also be suitable for a competent beginner.

Here are some hats by my lovely testers:

Here are a couple of hats in the adjusted infant size:

It was brought to my attention that some infants may have enough hair for this hat. 😉

I hope this inspires you to participate in some

and make that special someone a whimsical and warm hat!

Warmly,
