Ugly Christmas Sweater Hat Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Ugly Christmas Sweater Hat

 Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs 

I love the whole Ugly Sweater Party Theme.

 I have many "Ugly Sweaters" but no hats, 

So I thought it would be fun to design a 

Ugly Sweater Hat to go along with my sweaters.

This hat Crochet Pattern is really easy to stitch up.

No fancy or complicated stitches to fiddle with.

So it stitches quick, just in time for all those fun parties.

I designed it using left over medium (4) acrylic yarn

 in Christmas colors. You can make it in what ever

 colors you have in your yarn stash. It does not

 need to be Christmas colors. I used both "sparkle" 

and non sparkle yarns, solid and variegated yarns. 

And I totally love it. I think it Says, 

"Merry Christmas" All over it.

And it is NOT Ugly at all,

It's adorable!

Do not forget To add a nice

big Pom pom!

I think The Pom Pom makes the

 hat super adorable!

I mean it is cute, with out one,

 But it is super cute with a great big one,

with lots of different colors!
