Head:
- Round 1: Start with a magic ring. Make 8 single crochets (sc) inside the magic ring. Pull the thread to close the ring.
- Round 2: Make 8 increases. You will have 16 sc at the end of this round. Mark the first stitch with a stitch marker.
- Round 3: 2 sc, increase - repeat this sequence four times (total 24 stitches).
- Round 4: 1 sc, increase, followed by 4 sc, increase repeated three more times, then finish with 2 sc (total 32 stitches).
- Round 5: 2 sc, increase, then 6 sc, increase repeated three more times, then finish with 4 sc (total 40 stitches).
- Round 6: 3 sc, increase, then 8 sc, increase repeated three more times, then finish with 5 sc (total 48 stitches).
Continuous Rounds (Rounds 7-17):
7. Make 48 sc in each round. Maintain tension, especially at the corners to ensure the square shape remains.
Decrease Rounds:
8. Round 18: 3 sc, decrease repeated around.
- Round 19: 2 sc, decrease repeated around.
- Round 20: Follow with 1 sc, decrease, and then finish off by decreasing each around.
Finishing the Hat:
11. Insert the safety eyes between Rounds 14 and 15, ensuring 5 visible stitches between them.
- Continue to stuff the head, paying special attention to the corners, not overstuffed to keep a square shape.
- Close the opening by sewing through the remaining stitches, pull tight, and fasten off.
Final Assembly:
14. Attach the square hat to the body by stitching it around. Ensure all parts are securely fastened.
Remember to keep your stitches tight, especially in the corners, to maintain the hat's square shape. Use the crochet hook to adjust the stuffing and provide the proper shape during the stuffing phase.
