🎅 Santa Hat Crochet Pattern
A full construction plan, not just a motif: every round is computed by the stitch engine and verified before publishing — the finished object comes out the size the title promises.
📏 Adult 54cm head: cone ≈11cm tall off the crown, fold-over band, pompom tip
Finished size & materials
📏 Adult 54cm head: cone ≈11cm tall off the crown, fold-over band, pompom tip. Written for worsted (category 4) yarn and a 5.0-5.5mm hook at ≈0.7cm per single crochet. Gauge decides the final size — hook a small swatch first and adjust the hook, not the stitch counts. Every round below is computed by the stitch engine: if a round says it starts at 72 and ends at 66, those numbers reconcile.

Assembly & finishing
- cone — Worked base-up: 72 sts at the band edge decreasing evenly to a tip over 16 rounds (≈11cm). For a longer, droopier tail repeat the final decrease round 2-3 extra times before fastening off.
- band — White yarn: 5 rounds of BLO sc on the cone's base — folds over for the classic trim. Sew a pompom at the tip.
