I'm happy to bring you my second free pattern: the Mini Ami Top Hat!
A little while ago I wanted a crocheted top hat for an ami alien I was making called Mr. Morris. He is a gentleman alien and so had to have a top hat. I couldn't find an ami top hat pattern, so decided to make my own up. You can see a pic of the finished Mr. Morris at the bottom of this post!
The finished hat measures just under 1'' tall when using a 3.5mm hook. All you need for this pattern is Single Crochet, Increase and slip stitch. Also you'll need to know how to work in the back loops and front loops separately. For info on all these stitches and techniques, check out NexStitch.com.
So here's the pattern. It hasn't been tested, so if there's any mistakes please leave a comment and I'll correct it. I hope you enjoy it!
