Velvet Stocking Hat Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Velvet Stocking Hat Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Velvet Stocking Hat is a lot of fun to stitch up.

Do not be intimidated By Velvet Yarns. The key

to working with them is to loosen your tension

up just a little.

The Pattern is easy, because it is stitched in basic stitches

but we placed it at Easy to Moderate because

of the velvet yarn.

I really like this Velvet Yarn From Hobby Lobby,

called Velvety Smooth. It is smooth and easy to crochet with,

but also it is a medium (4) so any pattern written for

medium (4) Yarns will work with this yarn.

The Pattern is Written For 22 - 24 inch heads,

but keep in mind the hat band is quite stretchy,

and may nee to adjust your hook size for a good fit.

The hat's design is a long slouchy fit.

I Love The Sparkle in the yarn and chose to use "antique"

colors for a little bit different look. Of course you can

choose any colors you prefer.

FRIDAY FUN WITH SARA - Gnome Christmas Hat Ornaments | Posh Pooch Designs

FRIDAY FUN WITH SARA

Gnome Christmas Hat Ornaments With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

These Christmas ornament Hats are so cute,

And we all love Gnomes, so adding a Gnome beard

makes them even cuter.

You can make them using any weight yarn you like.

I recommend light 3 - bulky 5 yarns.

The colors and fibers are also up to you.

I prefer Acrylic as cotton can be a little thin and

give the look I like.

But You will not needing wash them so any

other fibers are great. I think Favorite School

and Team colors would be fun.

The Gnome beard is added with 1 wooden or brown

bead and a white loose pompom. It adds a fun touch.

You can add buttons, beads, bells or any other

embellishments you prefer.

Christmas Hats With Gnome Beards Ornaments

Skill: Easy

Materials:
Cardboard Tp Rolls – 1 roll makes 2 hats
Yarn - Any yarn, any fiber, any colors (Light 3 – Bulky 5)
White or off white for the Gnome beard
Crochet Hook - any size (we will not be doing any crocheting)
Ruler / Tape Measure
Scissors
Yarn Needle
1 bead for Gnome nose - I like wooden or brown beads.
Decorative button
Fabric Glue / E 6000 / Hot Glue

Let’s Make The Hat:

Measure and cut your rolls at 1.5 inches
Each tube will make 2 hats

Cut yarn in strands 18 inches long.
The Amount needed depend on yarn weight.
I start with 30 strands and cut more if needed.

Wrap the strands of yarn around the tube 2 at a time.
Continue to add until the tube if filled up.

Gently pull the yarn strand to the top of the hat,
And with one of the strands of yarn tie a secure knot around it.

Tie a knot at the top of the strand of yarn, it will be your ornament hanger.
Trim the top of the hat to resemble a pompom.

Let’s Make a Beard:

Cut strand of yarn 20 inches long, set it aside.
using 2 strands of yarn,
Wrap the White yarn around your 4 finger about 35 times.

Slip the strand of yarn through the loops, and tie securely.

Cut And Trim the yarns strands.

It is up to you if you want the beard long or short.

Tie a knot in the ends of the long strands and with a crochet
hook pull through the top of the hat till it is where you want the beard to sit.

Tie a knot in the top and gently ease it to the knot in the top of the hat.

The beard will fit loosely.
If you want it to stay put add a touch of glue to the
inside of the hat and press the beard to it. let it dry.

Glue on the bead for the nose.

Tie a bow around the hat at the pompom.
Add another strand of yarn in a contrasting color and tie a bow.

Add buttons, bells, beads or any embellishment to make the more personal.

I hope you enjoyed making some
