Snowman Hat: Using white yarn
- Band: Start with a foundation chain that fits comfortably around your head. Join to form a ring, being careful not to twist the chain. Work in rounds of your preferred stitch (single crochet, half double crochet, etc.) until the band is the desired width.
- Body: Switch to a larger hook and continue working in rounds, gradually increasing to create the hat’s slouchy shape. Adjust the number of increases based on your preference and head size.
- Brim: Switch to black yarn and create a few rounds of your chosen stitch to create the hat’s brim.
- Snowman Design: Switch to accent colors (black, orange, etc.) for the snowman’s eyes, mouth, and carrot nose. Use a combination of stitches to create the snowman’s face.
LED Lights: Sew these into the hat to make it light up
- Placement: Determine where you want the lights to be on the snowman’s body. Mark these spots with stitch markers.
- Attach Lights: Use a yarn needle to carefully thread the mini LED lights onto the hat, following the marked spots. Secure the lights in place with small stitches, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Battery Pack: Attach the battery pack to the inside of the hat, ensuring it’s easily accessible for turning the lights on and off.
Finishing: Weave in any loose ends and make sure all stitches are secure. Try on the hat and make any adjustments if necessary.
