We will add White yarn in the next round. Remember to work around the dropped yarn to carry it forward. When joining, simply pull the new colour through your last working stitch to finish the stitch, then crochet around the starting tail for a few stitches to hold it in place.

If you use a different yarn weight, you will need a recommended sized hook, and one size smaller. For example, if using Worsted weight yarn, use a 5mm and 4mm hook.You will also a fastening to wear your fascinator. You can use a rigid plastic headband, or if you plan on wearing your hair up, you can use hair clips. This pattern is for a mini top hat style fascinator. You could also make the Gonk’s bowler hat design if you prefer, you can find that pattern here. Switch over to your smaller hook size to work the waistcoat stitches. Keep your stitches a little loose to help with working into them. You can do this by ensuring you bring the pulled through loops to the top of your work, as if it were level with a standard sc stitch. For all UK mainland deliveries weighing less than 2kg we use Royal Mail standard delivery and for those weighing over 2kg or of a higher total cost value we use Parcelforce or DHL/DPD My mini top hat measures approximately 2.5″ in diameter across the top, 4″ in diameter across the brim, and 3″ high. For this size, I have used UK Chunky/US Bulky weight yarn with a 6mm and 5mm crochet hook.

This mini hat was originally designed for Adam Gonk’s new celebration outfit, but these came out so cute, that I had to make one to wear myself!
