I was asked to make a Dobby Hat for a friend to use as part of a Halloween costume. At first, I wasn’t sure what a Dobby was? Then I did some research and realized he was a character in Harry Potter.

I hope you will want to make a Dobby the House Elf hat as well.

Supplies you will need to make this pattern:
Worsted weight yarn in Oatmeal, Green and Black

White Felt scrap

Size I crochet hook

Pattern for your favourite hat

A tiny bit of white yarn or embroidery floss for the eye detail.

A tiny bit of brown or black yarn for the mouth detail

A yarn needle, embroidery needle or hot glue gun for attaching the details.

Note: This is only a pattern for the details on the Dobby Hat. You will need to make a hat using Oatmeal coloured yarn with your favourite hat pattern first. Then follow my pattern to make the ears, nose, eyes, eyelids and facial shaping for Dobby.

There is a video tutorial for this pattern on my Youtube channel. I no longer have a website, so there are no written instructions.
