This is a whimsical but warm winter hat, perfect for keeping little children nice and cosy, not forgetting any adults who want to add a touch of the woodland elf magic to their winter wardrobes.

The pattern includes three basic size options, from toddlers to adults, as well as instructions for adjusting the size to ensure a perfect fit. The pattern is suitable for intermediate crocheters.

The hat is crocheted using two strands of DK yarn together - choose one skein each of two complementary colours. The pattern uses a 5mm crochet hook, so it works up quickly.
