Pointed Hats

I made pointy hats this Christmas season from my brain. This pattern is involved, but simple. I think anyone can make it. But it's got a LOT of instructions.

Supplies

• Caron Simply Soft, 6 oz:
  • Blue Hat: 1 ball DK Country Blue (MC); 1 ball Blueberry (CC)
  • Red Hat: 1 ball Persimmon (MC); 1 ball Autumn Red (CC)
  • Both Hats: 1 ball Off White (White)
• 5.00 mm/US H Hook

Terminology

This pattern is written using US English Crochet terms. Translations available upon request. Put requests in the comments section.

• MC - Main Color
• CC - Contrasting Color
• ch - chain
• dc - double crochet
• hdc - half double crochet
• fphdc - front post half double crochet
• bphdc - back post half double crochet
• sts - stitches

Notes

• This hat is worked from the pointy tip to the brim
• Color changes every 4 rounds
• Hat is worked in joined rounds
• Ch 2 at the beginning of a round NEVER counts as a stitch
• Always put the first dc, hdc, or fphdc in the same stitch as you joined in from the previous round
• If you plan on adding a tassel or pompom to the tip of the hat, leave yourself a 12" tail when starting the hat so you can attach the dangly awesomeness
