Size: This will fit the average woman's head; my head circumference is 21"; it measures 9" long

Gauge: I did not gauge this project

Materials:

--6.0mm hook

--Red Heart Holiday yarn in Green/Silver and White/Silver held together (approx 1/2 skein of each color) or your favorite #4 worsted weight yarn

--white faux fur pompom (optional)

--tapestry needle for weaving

U.S. Stitch Abbreviations:

Ch: chain

Sl st: slip stitch

St: stitch(es)

SC: single crochet

HDC: half double crochet

HDC2tog: half double crochet 2 together (creates a decrease)

BLO: back loops only

Sk: skip

Rep: repeat

MR: magic ring

FO: fasten off

Special Note:

1. I held the 2 yarns together (double-stranded) to create a "Christmasy" effect;

2. I slip stitch join and ch1 at the end of each round, however, if so desired, you can work this in the round. If so, then use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning/ending of round and move up for the start of each new round.

3. I wanted this to be more of a slouchy type hat and made it 9" long; it's very comfortable on my 21" head circumference. If you want a more beanie-type style, then reduce the number of repeat rounds you do in the pattern.
