As promised in my last article, I’m back with a new crochet hat for kids and teens, but this time it’s a bear ears bucket hat made with velvet yarn (chenille yarn) to add to the cuteness of it all. It’s a really easy and quick project to make, so I would say it’s a beginner friendly pattern to follow along and to finish in a day or two. Crocheters, roll up your sleeves, and let’s get to work to make this adorable hat for your loved little ones!

Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
The Ears
Make a magic circle. We will work in rows, so no sl st at the end of the 1st row. End it with a ch 1 then turn, we’re working in rows.
Row 1: 5 sc (5)
Row 2: 1 sc, sc inc x 3, 1 sc (8)

Cut the yarn and leave a tail for sewing. Make 2 ears this way, and sew them on the top of the hat.
