Embellish your new mini top hat with scraps of :

ribbon
feathers
silk flowers
lace
various trims
netting
buttons
bows
rolled shabby flowers
pearls
rhinestones
tulle

Whatever sparks your creativity!

This is an inexpensive fascinator.
It'll cost between $5 - $10 for the supplies.
It can be crocheted in about 30 minutes (or a little more depending on your level of expertise).
They are perfect for party favors too!




This tutorial is for personal use only.
If you do make a fascinator using my tutorial, I would appreciate a link back to this tutorial please!
I always try to give full credit to the creative blogs and people who inspire me - you can see evidence of this all over my blog!
I only ask for the same curtsy in return.

Thank you!


Have fun!

  16. If I want to make it bigger...
    do I repeat rows 4 & 5 until it's big enough ? Or else ?

  19. I have some technical questions I am hoping you could help me with.

    1. After you join with a slip stitch and then chain one to start the next row, do you start your next sc in the same spot as your sl st or the next one?

    2. Does your start stitch move over? I find that my seam starts moving diagonally. Does yours?

    Thanks for any help. :)

  20. @Panda8angel: I hope this helps!

    1. At the end of each round, you'll sl st into a sc. When you start the next round, you'll make your first sc into the one you just joined with a sl st.

    2. Are you remembering to turn your work in the same direction after each round? Your seam shouldn't move diagonally.

  27. Hi from England! My Steampunk-loving daughter wanted a hairband with a top hat on it - your pattern did the job! I also wanted to say how cute I thought your daughter's expression was in the first photo - she looks like she'd rather be some where else lol.

  29. I made 2 of these this morning. We have a costume party and one kid's going as a clown and the other as Mickey. I added ears and a red band for the Mickey top hat and am working on embellishing the other. Thanks for the free pattern, it works up quickly even for me. I'm a perfectionist and stop to adjust, count, inspect etc. constantly and still it only took 45 minutes.
