Leprechaun Crochet Toddler Hat and Bow Tie Pattern

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. If you are looking for some quick accessories to make for your little leprechaun, this crocheted hat and bow tie are perfect!

This hat fits my 9 month old nephew perfectly, but he has a larger than average head. You may need to adjust the size for whomever you are making the hat. Be sure to check the gauge.

Size:

The finished hat has a circumference of 19” and is 5 ½” high.

The bow tie measures about 4” long and 2” high before you tie the middle.
