Before you start crocheting, gather these materials:

• Yarn: White yarn for the main part of the hat, pink or red for the bow, black for the whiskers, and yellow for the nose.
  • Medium-weight yarn works best for this project.
• Crochet Hook: A 5mm (H) hook for the hat, or adjust depending on your yarn.
• Yarn Needle: To sew the bow and embroider the face.
• Scissors: For cutting the yarn once finished.
• Stitch Markers: To keep track of your rounds (optional but helpful).
• Stuffing (Optional): For a puffy bow or ears if you want them to stand out more.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Crochet a Hello Kitty Hat

1. Create the Base of the Hat

1. Magic Ring Start: Start with a magic ring, crocheting 10 double crochets (DC) into the ring. Pull tight to close.
2. Increase in Rounds: Continue working in rounds, increasing evenly. For the second round, work 2 DC into each stitch (20 DC). For the third round, alternate between 1 DC and 2 DC in the next stitch.
3. Build the Hat: Once you've reached the desired width of the top, stop increasing and continue crocheting in rounds without increasing to build the length of the hat.
4. Customize the Size: Crochet more rounds for an adult-sized hat, or fewer for a child or baby-sized version.

2. Crochet Hello Kitty’s Ears

1. Start with a Magic Ring: For each ear, create a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochets (SC) into the ring.
2. Increase the Size: For the second round, work 2 SC into each stitch. Continue increasing in each round until the ears reach the desired size.
3. Attach the Ears: Once the ears are the right size, sew them securely onto the top of the hat.

3. Crochet the Iconic Bow

1. Chain Foundation: Begin by chaining 15 stitches for a small bow, or more if you want a larger bow.
2. Double Crochet Rows: Crochet back and forth using double crochet stitches (DC) for about 4-6 rows.
3. Shape the Bow: Wrap yarn tightly around the middle of the crocheted rectangle to form the bow shape. Secure with a few stitches and tie off.
4. Attach the Bow: Sew the bow to one side of the hat, slightly off-center for a traditional Hello Kitty look.

4. Add Hello Kitty’s Face

1. Embroider the Eyes: Using black yarn, embroider two small ovals for the eyes.
2. Stitch the Nose: With yellow yarn, embroider an oval or circular nose in the center between the eyes.
3. Create the Whiskers: Using black yarn, stitch three whiskers on each side of the face, positioned just below the eyes.
