I have to give credit to my husband for this one! After I made the Cat in the Hat Headband, he said I should make a St. Patrick’s Day version. An hour later this Crochet Leprechaun Hat Headband was hot off my hook! Pretty much the same tutorial as the Cat in the Hat Headband (see it HERE) but I am posting the updated pattern below.
Materials:
– Bernat Super Value yarn in Green, Black, and Yellow. Shop all colors at Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Headband (I used Goody brand). Target, Dollar Tree, and Walmart, are a few of the many stores that carry headbands. I used THESE ONES.
– Poly-fil fiber stuffing
– Tapestry Needle
– Hot Glue Gun
Abbreviations:
Magic Ring
SC = Single Crochet
SC Decrease = Single Crochet Decrease
DC = Double Crochet

So cute!! Love all your patterns
So very cute!! Your are so talented and I love your patterns!!
I love this. I have made several and have given them as gifts. Thank you so much for sharing.
constantly i used to read smaller content which also clear their motive,
and that is also happening with this paragraph which I am reading at this
time.
Usually I don’t learn post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to check out and do so! Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thank you, quite great post.|
wow nice web n awesome creativity
Wow, I am so happy to see you. I have missed you on the blog. Happy you are back
I had to leave off some of the stitches on the first black row it was too wavy. So every 5 stitches I only did one. The problem was I used red heart for the green and simply soft for the black which is a light 4 if you ask me! Great little pattern works up quickly!
This is so cute. Thank you for sharing.
What a great kid !
