Crocheted Hats

These little hats were originally made to accessorize outfits I made for Iplehouse BIDs and KIDs, who have a head
circumference of 6.7 to 6.9 inches . The hat was designed to fit over their wigs, and will fit other dolls with similar sized heads.

Even though I have made many of these little hats, I had no idea how to write out the instructions so others could follow them to make a hat themselves. My friend Donna Leggee, kindly offered to translate my laymen's instructions into proper crochet instructions.
Thank you Donna!!
Thank you Donna!!

Basic Hats
*The one above on right, and the three below have a third colour for their brims. I purchased 2 different bags of
craft crochet-type threads from Michaels, which contained 3 skeins each of 12 different colours - one bag of bright
colours, and the other one pastels - which made it possible to make hats to colour coordinate with almost any outfit.
