Materials used: Size H hook, worsted weight yarn, and a stitch marker to mark the start of each new row (if desired).

**Please do not sell this pattern.
**If you wish to make a larger size, you'll find this link helpful:
For example, if you'd want a 3-6 month size, you'd make your band 15 inches long. You'd seam it according to the pattern and then pick up about 49 single crochet stitches around for the body of the hat. For this size, the height of the hat would need to be at least 6 inches finished to cover those little ears. When you can see you'd reach that height including the decreases, just decrease evenly until you reach the tip. I liked this hat just a little longer and pointier, but you'll see what you like when you're making it.
