Beanie Hat-Q Hook and Thick yarn
I used half dbl. crochet
Foundation row (12 in.-16in.long)
crochet 9 rows, half dbl. crochet
on row 10, skip to every 3rd loop to crochet
row 11 skip to every 4th loop to crochet doing this all around the entire piece, repeat on row 12-this will gather together to fit over your head.  I have a small head, so you can add more rows of crochet, & definately make it 16 in. long. foundation row.

Optional: tie a bow on the back or the side of hat. Mine is on the back. Operation Christmas Child Shoebox gift idea!
