Instructions

1. The Pattern: I started at the brim and worked to the top. So, to start Chain 57 sts. Join first and last sts to make a large loop. Make sure you don't twist the chain.

2. Round 1+2: ch 2, hdc around, sl in ch2

3. Round 3: ch 2, *hdc 18, inc. repeat from * around, sl in ch2 (60 sts)

It takes a while because you have to change colours so much, but it is worth it!) (60 sts)

9. Fasten off, sew together and weave in ends. Choose which side is the front and embroider 'Police Box' on the black strip.

10. 

    For the pompom: Hold your fingers apart and wrap yarn around all four fingers, loosely. When it is thick enough, tie a piece of string tightly around the middle, right between your middle and ring fingers.

11. 

    Then cut down the sides by your pointer finger and your pinky. Attach to the top of the hat. This is the light.
