This pattern is for an overlay mosaic crochet square that can be used in other types of projects, such as blankets, pillows, satchel bags, table mats, etc.

I was going for a quirky fun holiday hat and the finished sample square make me think of the Grinch’s twisted hat, lol! I just wanted something a bit different from the usual triangle shape.

Any yarn or hook will work, depending on the desired size of the finished square. I used yarn weight of 4 with a 5.5 hook, which creates a square of 13.5” x 13”.

You will need 3 colors of yarn - one for the background, red for the main hat color & border, and & white for the lower rim & ball, although any 3 colors would be fine.

This is a great way to use up scraps! For projects using all 3 colors, you will need approximately 2 oz of the background color, 1-1.5 oz of red and .5-1 oz white, when using a worsted or aran (wt 4) type of yarn.

Pattern is in US crochet terms.
