Whether it’s for a costume, photography prop, or a fancy Wednesday, every baby will look adorable in this top hat!

This year I’ve been getting some really fun costume requests from my friends. Hey, I’m up for a challenge and for making something new so I can’t help but say yes.

One of my friends just had a baby and they’re doing a Thomas the Train family costume theme. The baby gets to be Sir Toppem Hat, so naturally she needed a top hat.

I made it up as I went and decided to write it down for you. This is an easily adaptable pattern. Feel free to play with it, make it bigger, smaller, shorter, taller… whatever! Just make it yours. Upload your pictures on the projects page here so we can all see!

Yes, that’s a lot of single crocheting you’ll have to do… but look how cute!
