Crochet Pattern: Mini Top Hat

I made this mini top hat for fun. I wish I had extra supplies to make it more interesting. I already had a plan to be able to make this stay up and be firm. Red Heart was perfect for this purpose because it's a stiffer yarn. This pattern uses back post and front post stitches in order to get this shape.

Basic pattern:

6 sc into a ring
*Sc in one st, 2 sc in the next* repeat around
*Sc in the next 2 sts, 2 sc in the next* repeat around
*Sc in the next 3 sts, 2 sc in the next* repeat around
*Sc in the next 4 sts, 2 sc in the next* repeat around

Continue increasing your circle for your desired size.

Here's a tutorial for a back post stitch. Instead of doing it as a double crochet, you want to do it small like a single crochet.

- Back post single crochet around.
-Single crochet in the back loops

Repeat the last round for the desired length.

Now we are going to do a front post stitch but as a single crochet instead.

-Front post single crochet around.
-*Single crochet in the next 5 sts, increase* around
-Sc around
-Another increase around if needed

Attach yarn to the sides to make a chain in order to tie it around your head.

I added thread/yarn and tulle on mine.
