Mini Sombrero Crochet Pattern {Happy Cinco de Mayo}
With May right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking of Cinco de Mayo. In honor of the holiday, I’ve got a little crochet pattern for you: adorable mini sombreros. Attach them to a key chain, strap them onto your chihuahua (yes, I’ve gotten pictures from DCD fans who have done this), string them on a bunting, or use them as table decorations at your next fiesta.
If you’re having a party tonight and don’t have table decorations yet, you’ve still got plenty of time – these little cuties are super quick.
Materials:
- small amount of worsted weight yarn (I used Vanna’s Choice in beige)
- tiny amounts of contrasting yarn in red, blue and green.
- H crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
Pattern Notes
- You’ll be working in spiral. There are no slip stitches or chains at the ends of the rounds.
- You may want to mark the first stitch of each round as you go. It’s easy to lose your spot on such a little pattern.
