Special Stitches
Magic Circle: If you are unfamiliar with the Magic Circle/Ring method you are welcome to chain 3, join, and crochet in the circle you created.
Back Loop: Look at the top of your stitches and you will see that your HDC stitches make a “V” shape. Insert your hook under the side of the “V” that’s furthest from you. That is where you will make your HDC stitches.
Before you start
The Santa Hat is made by starting with 12 HDC and increasing by 2 in every round until you get to 40 HDC ( rounds). I like to space my increases out so they do not line up on top each other.
