This hat was my mom's idea. I think it turned out pretty nice! It is also very easy to make, so I decided to share it with you all.This is an ideal charity and gift project as well. Enjoy!

Red Heart worsted weight yarn Burgundy (about half a skein)
Cochet hook size H
Black button of your choice

How do you sew the hat closed?

Hi Margaret! It is very easy. Once you've made your first one, you can make them all the time almost with your eyes closed. First you close it as a tube (after you have finished with the black part.) Now, you join the Burgundy yarn to the upper part of the tube and crochet around until you have completed the size of the hat for an adult's head. Then you fasten off, leaving a long tail and sew all around, gathering as you go to close the top. And then sew the button in the middle. That's all there is to it!
