Newborn Wizard Hat crochet pattern - Inspired by Harry Potter

As I made this hat I could hear "You're a Wizard Harry" in my head lol

Our family enjoyed reading the Harry Potter Books and watching the movies together, so it was a natural progression to welcome my grandson Jayce with his own 1st year wizard hat <3

Hagrid whispering: You're a wizard Jayce!


Materials:

Black ww yarn - I used Red Heart Super Saver

G hook

large eye needle to weave in ends

Abbreviations:

Mr: magic ring

sc: singlecrochet

hdc: half double crochet

f.o.: finish off

Notes:

If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted.
This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson, and I share it freely with all you crafty crocheters!  You may do whatever you like with your finished Wizard hats: sell them at farmer's markets, use them, gift them, fly on your Nimbus 2000 with them or go to a Quidditch game with them!! But I ask that you not reproduce/sell this pattern.

Hibernation : Newborn Bear Hat (or Mouse!)

Hibernation
In time my grandson will tire of the pictures, but for now he's an adorable model!  I had this great bulky wt yarn (no label) in my stash for a while now and just knew a bear hat was coming!

Materials:

I hook 

Large eye needle to weave in ends and attach eyes

#5 Bulky wt yarn in color choice (I had a bulky yarn in my stash with no label)

ww yarn in contrasting color for inner ear (I used Red Heart Super Save in Buff)

Abbreviations :

MR : magic ring

Ch:  chain

Sl st:  slip stitch

Sc:  single crochet

Dc:  double crochet

F.o. :  finish off


Note:

Unless noted otherwise: ch at beginning of each round does not count as stitch.  If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted.
This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson, and I share it freely with all you crafty crocheters!  You may do whatever you like with your finished Hibernation hats: sell them at farmer's markets, use them, gift them, fly to the moon with them or take over the world with them!! But I ask that you not reproduce/sell this pattern.


Directions:


Hat: with bulky yarn


1: Mr 10dc (10)

2: 2dc (20)

3: dc, 2dc (30)

4: dc5, 2dc (35)

5-7: dc (35) hat should be close to 5.5", if not add/subtract rows

8: sc (35) f.o.  weave in ends

Ears: x2 with bulky yarn

1: ch3, 8dc in 3rd ch from hook, turn ch 1

2: sc (8) f.o. leave a tail to attach to hat and attach inner ear

Inner ear: x2 with ww yarn

1: ch3, 8dc in 3rd ch from hook  f.o.  weave in ends.

2: ch2, *2dc, dc* (12) turn

3: ch2, *2dc, dc* (18) f.o. leaving a long tail for attaching to hat.  I weaved and cinched the bottom of the ear just a little before attaching to hat, to keep ears uniform.  (The outer ear edges are turned towards the front a little.)
