INSTRUCTIONS to make the Tags
SKILL Level – Easy with a bit of sewing in the tails. The project requires crocheting in all three loops of the beginning chain.
About Pattern: This quirky version of a Santa hat and is a fun way of using just simple crochet chains and placements of joining by slip stitches.
COMPLETED SIZE: Any weight of yarn works. Ideal being DK weight or more.
This gives a good sized tag that can be used for bags or even key rings.
Total length: 5" including the tag loop.
Length of the motif: 2.25"

Materials:
Yarn Used: Yarn of choice – DK weight cotton yarn. Total Yardage: 88 - 98 yards for 50g
I have used – approximately 4 yards of the red yarn for the base or body of the hat; 2 yards of white feather yarn or just white yarn for the Trim and bobble.
I have used Zuchi Ami Cotton yarn for the featured project in the pattern. and a tiny bit of a feathered yarn in white (Heartbeats Mink).
Crochet hook – I HAVE USED: 3.5mm hook for the project featured in the pictures. You can use crochet hook, a size or two smaller than you’d usually use with the yarn. This gives you tight stitches and rigidity to the project.
Scissors and a needle to finish up.
GUAGE: N/A. According to the gauge/yarn/ hook used, the size and stiffness of the project may vary. Custom instructions will be highlighted.
Stitches used: US crochet terms
ch - chain
ss – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
dc - double crochet
PLEASE NOTE:
· ch1 doesn’t count as a stitch, unless specified.
