Santa Claus Hat

Lion Brand® Chenille Thick & Quick® - Fun Fur

GAUGE:

10 sts + 14 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with MC.

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Infant hat pattern was used for the dog

Santa Claus Hat Reviewed by Trina Simcox on 2008-12-22 ***
I loved the pattern but had a very hard time finding the the Chenille yarn in Scarlet locally. Luckily, a local Walmarts had a few skiens left on clearance. I also found it easier to crochet the Fun Fur headband to the hat.Other than that, the hat is beautifull when finished and elegant looking.
