WHO’S THAT POKEMON EATING YOUR HEAD??
SNORLAX!

The hat is one size fits most adult heads, but it shouldn’t be too hard to resize to meet your needs by adjusting your hook size and/or yarn.

I would consider this an INTERMEDIATE or ADVENTUROUS BEGINNER pattern. It will NOT teach you to crochet but it is a good way to PRACTICE new skills if you’re just starting out! The pattern assumes you know, or are capable of looking up, the required stitches, etc.

Tools and Materials
• US size G (4.25mm) crochet hook
• Stitch marker (optional, but recommended because several pieces are worked in continuous rounds)
• Yarn needle, for attaching everything together
• Worsted weight yarn in blue, beige, white (optional), brown, and black (ALSO OPTIONAL: red)
◦ The colors you will need the most of are BLUE and BEIGE (less than 364 yards/333m each – this is a regular skein of RedHeart Super Saver). You will only need a small amount of (optional) white and brown. Scraps of black should be all the black you need because it’s just for the eyes. If you want to go the route with the red then red will be the 2nd most needed color, but still less than a skein of Super Saver.
◦ RED is optional and only if you want to make the inside of your snorlax mouth red, otherwise just use BEIGE
• Stuffing material, for stuffing the feet, hands, and ears
• (Optional) pins, for holding pieces in place during positioning and attaching – I use bobby pins
• (Totally optional) mannequin head – it’s REALLY helpful for positioning the parts and attaching them, imho, especially since the hat is two layers thick.

Abbreviations/Skills Needed
• rnd/rnds: round/rounds
• st/sts: stitch, stitches
• ch: chain
• sc: single crochet
• inc: increase
• dec: decrease
• sl: slip stitch
• BLO: back loops only

Running stitch or whip stitch will work for attaching the pieces. Use whatever looks/feels right to you. I tend to use running stitch when attaching flat pieces to a surface and whip stitch when joining pieces with dimension.

The gauge is approximately 3 sc sts/inch and 3 sc rows/inch for the main body of the hat (or 3 sc sts/2cm and 2 sc rows/2cm). A finished hat as patterned with the mentioned gauge is about 11” (28.5cm) across with a 22” (57cm) circumference and 9” (22.5cm) tall when lying flat, excluding the ears/other details in these measurements. It is very stretchy! It will stretch comfortably several inches beyond these measurements.
