Yarn: 5 oz or less of worsted weight cotton in yellow, small amounts of black, brown, white, gray, denim
blue, and pink (recommended brands are Lily Sugarn Cream, Peaches & Creme, Lion Brand Cotton, or
Bernat Handicrafter Cotton.) This pattern was designed and tested with cotton yarn. You may have
different results with other fibers. (Many of my testers did use acrylic yarn successfully with this pattern.)

Special Stitches Definitions:

Magic Ring: You can find directions for the magic ring here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?

Invisible Join: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsHggQGFq3A
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Minion Hat: Use J (6 mm) hook or to match gauge.
Notes: The top of this hat is worked in continuous rnds. Add a stitch marker to loop around
hook at end of rnd 1 and move with each rnd. When you have completed the rnd marked with
the size you are making, skip to Rnd 13. Because this hat is worked in sc, youll want to keep
your tension relaxed or the hat will end up too stiff.
Rnd 1: Magic ring, ch 1, 6 sc in ring, join with sl st in first sc, place st marker around loop on
hook, move with each rnd. (6)
OR ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook, join with sl st in first sc. (6)

(24)

(36)
(42) <-- end here for 0-3 mos
Note: Measure diameter of circle here, it should equal 4 to 4.25. If not, adjust your hook size
up or down as necessary. If hat starts ruffling, then hook size is too big, adjust down.
Rnd 8: [sc in ea of next 6 sts, 2 sc in next st] repeat to end of rnd. (48) <--end here for 3-6 mos
Rnd 9: [sc in ea of next 7 sts, 2 sc in next st] repeat to end of rnd. (54) <--end here for 6-12 mos

Repeat Rnd 13 once for 6-12 mos, twice for toddler/child, twice for teen/adult, and 3 times for
large adult.
Rnd 14: To end last rnd: sl st in next st, fasten off. Attach black yarn in any st, ch 1, sc in each

move with each rnd.
Repeat Rnd 18 until hat reaches following measurements:
(Optional: To use denim blue for last rnd, subtract a half inch off length in chart below.)
