Spring Hat Elephant Directions

Size: 1-1.5 year old size, this can easily be adapted to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the number of stitches in the first row and as well as making less or more rows for the hat.
For this baby size you will need 2 colours.
I used: Merino 160, 160 m / 50g 

For this pattern you will need 4.00 mm crochet hook. 

A button: Elephant for decoration

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – very easy for ultimate beginners 

US crochet term: 
SlSt – slip stitch 
CH/s – chain/s 
SC – simple crochet 
DC - half double crochet 
ST/s - stitch(es)
REP - repeat 

Special Stitches used: puff stitch

DC Puff stitch 
The DC puff stitch is a basic crochet stitch. It's easy to learn. I love puff stitches, you can use them to create fabulous texture in your next crochet project!
The puff can be created with a varying number of stitches in the work. To work puff stitch in this version, work as follows:

5DC Puff Stitch instructions: 
Yarn over and insert the hook always into the stitch where you are creating your puff stitch. Yarn over again and pull through 2 loops. There will be 2 loops on the hook.
Repeat 4 more times. Each time adds 1 more loop to the hook. There will be 6 loops on the hook for a dc puff stitch. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on the hook. Finish with chain one.  An extra chain stitch is often used to secure the puff stitch firmly. 
Puff stitch = in the same space placed 5dc cluster (5dc together), ch1

Pattern Notes 
1) This pattern are for baby 1-1.5 year old size can easily be adapted to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the numbers of stitches and as well as less or more numbers of rows. Remember that when making bigger hat size, you will need more yarn.

2) This Hat is crocheted in rounds from the top down using double crochets and single crochet for the ending. 

3) A Ch 3 at beg of the row count as a stitch from round 1 till round 9 and from round 13 till round 14. 

A ch3 at beg doesn't count as a stitch from round 10 till round 12, when created puff stitches. 

4) The end of each round is attached to the first stitch of the round using a sl st - place a slip stitch in the 3rd chain from beg

5) Instructions between two asterisks should be repeated for the remainder of the round
