E's Heart

Here's a Freebie for Valentine's Day. Only pre-requisite is you need one yarn bulkier than the other so your bottom heart will be seen

MATERIALS USED Worsted Weight Yarn    Color A: - Vanna’s Choice - Scarlett    Color B: Red Heart Buttercup - White Crochet Hook – G/6 -4.25M Tapestry/Yarn Needle Scissors GAUGE: Not Important, this pattern uses the size  chart  at the end of the pattern to achieve the size hat you desire. ABBREVIATIONS: ch - chain                                              rnd(s) - rounds(s) dc - double crochet                                 sc - single crochet hdc - half double crochet                         st(s) - stitch(es) MC - Magic Circle                                   trc - treble crochet NOTES FOR HAT 1.      This hat can be made for any size from a preemie to an adult male. You will need to         make your crown the circumference and height specific for the person. 2.      Check the chart at the bottom of the pattern for the circumferences       and heights for different ages of individuals. Then, fill in the information you need below. a.      _____ Circumference of Head b.      _____ Circumference For Hat c.       _____ Height of Hat 3.      To make measuring the hat easier: a.      cut a piece of yarn in one color the length of the circumference of the hat. b.      Cut another piece of yarn, in a different color, the length of the height you need. 4.      HINT: To get a GREAT size match, use Styrofoam balls with the circumference of the head you want to fit. This works SO MUCH BETTER than measuring in inches.
