First Round

Work single crochet stitches into the magic ring.
Close the magic ring tightly to form a small circular base.
Complete the round by using a slip stitch to secure the stitches and chain one to begin the next round.

Second Round

Creating the Base Body

Single Crochet Rounds

Work several rounds of single crochet stitches around the ring.
These rounds create the height and structure for the hat.

Introduce a new yarn color to accentuate the design.
Work slip stitches in the current color before transitioning to the new color.
Secure the new yarn color and carry the unused yarn strands along as you crochet.

Half Double Crochet and Double Crochet Increases

Work chains and crochet stitches (single crochet, half double crochet) to form the triangular ear shape.
Slip stitch into the hat to secure the ear and weave the ends.
