Crochet Mini Holiday Hats

Here is a cute and quick holiday project that you can make in less than 30 minutes! These Mini Holiday Hats can be crocheted in many different color combinations and you can even stitch on a little face to create a gingerbread or snowman version. I personally love the candy cane stripes! Use them as ornaments, gift toppers, gift card holders, string them as garland, and they also fit perfectly over Marshmallow Mugs!

Can you believe that this pattern was already on my blog disguised as a Tiny Crochet Elf Hat?! You can see that project HERE. I just tweaked the pattern a bit at the end and will repost the new version below.

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Red and White (for Santa) and any other colors you need/want for your other hats! Shop Red Heart Super Saver Yarn HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Tiny pom-poms (optional) for face embellishments. I used a Hot Glue Gun to attach the faces on the Snowman and Gingerbread Man Hats

Shop the Marshmallow Mugs on Amazon! Great for gift giving! I am giving these to my kids teachers with a gift card attached (or maybe inside).
