Notes

Use acrylic worsted yarn for this easy crochet bear hat; any yarn type works (cotton, chunky, etc.).
Adjust stitch count and rows accordingly.
With a 5.5mm hook, the crochet rectangle for the beanie measures roughly 11x15 inches.
Sized for kids aged 3-5; adjust for different sizes.
For an adult size, crochet 41 chains and 44 rows.
Instead of embroidering snowflakes, trail white under the blue yarn and create random white bobble stitches for a falling snow effect.
