Crochet Mini Graduation Cap - Repeat Crafter Me

Make any stuffie a gift for your grad by adding a mini crocheted graduation cap! I thought this little cap would look especially cute on Ollie the Owl! And you could even make Ollie in your schools colors! I am posting two different versions of the this pattern: one using Bernat Blanket Yarn (bulky) and one using basic Worsted Weight Yarn.
