• Step 1

  The Pattern:
  I started at the brim and worked to the top.
  So, to start Chain 57 sts. Join first and last sts to make a large loop. Make sure you don't twist the chain.

• Step 2

  Round 1+2: ch 2, hdc around, sl in ch2

• Step 3

  Round 3: ch 2, *hdc 18, inc. repeat from * around, sl in ch2 (60 sts)

• Step 4

  Round 4+5: (these are the window rows) ch2, hdc as follows: *4 blue, 3 white, 1 blue, 3 white, 1 blue, 3 white, 4 blue, 3 white, 1 blue, 3 white, 1 blue, 3 white, repeat from * around, sl in ch2 You will do the pattern twice each time around. It takes a while because you have to change colours so much, but it is worth it!) (60 sts)

• Step 5

  Round 6: ch2, hdc around in blue, sl in ch2 (60sts)

• Step 6

• Step 7

  Round 9+ 10: ch2, hdc around in blue, sl in ch2
  Round 11+12: ch2, hdc around in black, sl in ch2 (this is where you will write 'Police Box')
  Round 13+14: ch2, hdc around in blue, sl in ch2

  Decrease rows:
  Round 15: ch2, *hdc 8, hdc2tog, repeat from star around, sl into ch2
  Round 16: ch2, *hdc 7, hdc2tog, repeat from star around, sl into ch2

  Round 21: ch2, *hdc 2, hdc2tog, repeat from star around, sl into ch2
  Round 22-24: hdc2tog around

• Step 9

  Fasten off, sew together and weave in ends.
  Choose which side is the front and embroider 'Police Box' on the black strip.

• 

  Step 10

  For the pompom:
  Hold your fingers apart and wrap yarn around all four fingers, loosely.

  When it is thick enough, tie a piece of string tightly around the middle, right between your middle and ring fingers.

• 

  Step 11

  Then cut down the sides by your pointer finger and your pinky.

  Attach to the top of the hat. This is the light.

• 

  Step 12

  And now you have your own TARDIS hat! Don't forget to make whooshing sounds when you are wearing it. :) If you have any questions about this pattern, feel free to comment. I would be happy to help you! Happy Holidays, enjoy the Christmas Special!
