Get Your Whimsy On - Free Pixie Hat Crochet Pattern
/I love the whimsical Pixie Hat because it brings out my whimsy (see what I did there?). Some say it is just for Halloween season but I wear it all season long. They sell well at markets too. It can easily be adjusted for kids size by following the steps at the end of the pattern.
Sometimes I even add a tassel to the peak for fun or pom poms to the bottom of the side ties.
