Winnie the Pooh Newborn Hat

For this hat I used gold and red red heart yarn. I used a size G hook, but wished I had used H. The single crochet stitches are so tight. I did multiples of six for increasing and went to 54 stitches around. 

I did the ears a little different too. I do not like ears that are round. I find them difficult to see on and they never stay up. For these ears I used hdc. Here is what I did. 

Ch3, join to form a ring. 

Ch 1. Hdc 6 into ring. Sl st to join

2hdc in each st around

Instead of joining ch 2, sl st into ring, ch 2 sl st to first of 12 st. 

It made more of a half circle and it was easier to see the ears on. 

This hat is 5.5 inches from top to bottom.
