Mini Crochet Hats

Mini Crochet Hats

It's that time of year again when your list of gifts to give get longer and your time to make something gets smaller.  I love making things for everyone on my list, but I know I can't get them all done.  That's when I grab my crochet hook and try to whip up something fun and that is also quick.  This year I have a few gifts that I made and can share with you.  

First up are these very simple Mini Crochet Hats.  They can be used for ornaments, gift tags, gift card holders, or even as a doll hat.

Want to make these in person with me?  I am teaching Learn to Crochet Top Down Hats at the Mt Lebanon Library this Saturday at 10:30am.  It is part of my current series of classes on Learn to Crochet.  All you need is basic knowledge of how to single crochet and double crochet.  I bring the yarn and hooks.  Registration is at their website.
