Create a whimsical and fantastical ‘Pixie Perch’ tree stump top hat for yourself with this 14 Page pattern! This pattern includes a mixture of written instructions, charts and photos. This pattern cannot be completed without the use of the charts. Key and instructions for how to read my charts are given.

Your top hat will comprise of a rugged-top tree stump hat base with an optionally pose-able, wired brim. Instructions are then included for how to make mushrooms, leaves and moss to embellish your hat.

DK and Aran Yarn scraps (less than 10g of each colour) in green tones, earth tones, red and cream

Notions - Optional 4ft of 1.5mm (16 gauge) wire. Yarn needle, stitch markers and measuring tape.

❉ Experience Level:
This pattern was written with intermediate crafters in mind. However, I believe that an adventurous beginner who likes a creative challenge would fair reasonably well with it! Please read my FAQ for more information on the experience level required for my patterns.

I do not, however, explain how to work the basic crochet stitches used. You will need to know basic crochet stitches (including increase/decrease, front/back post), how to work with a magic ring and how to read a crochet chart. Instructions for how to read my charts are given.

❉ Sizing:
This pattern is designed to fit a 21-23in head, but size adjustment advice is given. A measuring tape is essential and I recommend trying on your work as you go. A gauge is not given because you will be working to your own measurements and preferred fit.

❉ Pattern Notes:
This pattern uses US crochet terms.
