Crochet Pokeball Hat Pattern

My daughter loves Pokemon so I made her this Pokeball Hat! She loves it and of course, I had to make her little sister one too. You can make this hat in any size just adjust the size by using the proper hook size, which is listed below.

If you tell others about my work, please only link back to my blog, but don't copy my patterns to your site. Also you can sell anything you make from my patterns, but don't sell the free pattern. Thank you!

Newborn Bulky Hat, instead of a D hook, Use a J hook with this pattern: http://www.amyscrochetpatterns.com/2015/01/crochet-baby-0-3-months-football-hat.html, when the increase stops, then continue the pattern as written in this pattern with the J hook. 

Supplies:
Black, Red, and White yarn

Abbreviations:

ch=chain

sl st=slip stitch

sc=single crochet
