Teeny, tiny hat pattern

A friend recently asked me for a crochet pattern that I *know* I had put on the blog, but can I find it anywhere? No, I can't.

Luckily, it was still on my computer, so here it is...

This is a little hat suitable for Upon Butterfly Wings...I love it because it's so quick to work up, which means more hats for tiny babies.

It's written in British Crochet terms, if you're used to using American terms, just substitute tr for DC (it's a fairly simply pattern)

Round 1: Ch3, sl st into 3rd chain from hook to form loop.
Round 2: Ch 2 (this is your first treble crochet), work 11 tr into loop, join round using sl st into your first tr. (12 st in round)
Round 3: Ch2, [tr in next st, 2 tr in next stitch] 6 times, join round using sl st into your first tr. (18st)
Round 4: Ch2, [tr in next 2 sts, 2 tr in next stitch] 6 times, join round using sl st into your first tr. (24st)
Round 5-7: Ch2, tr in each st around,  join round using sl st into your first tr. (24st)

Fasten off and sew in the ends.

If you're wanting a slightly bigger hat, you can add an extra increase round after Round 4 {Ch2, [tr in next 3 sts, 2 tr in next stitch] 6 times, join round using sl st into your first tr. (36st)}

No pictures!

Typical of me...I've made some personalised tree decorations and given them to the recipient before taking any pictures!

Luckily, it's only my sister so I can nip 'round and take some pictures once her tree is up.

She loved them :-)  Just hope she likes the stockings that I'm working on as much!

Busy busy busy

With Christmas approaching, I've been so busy with festive projects! This week it's decorations with a few presents being worked on too.

Here's a quick picture of some of the decorations I've finished :-)
