Make this fun toddler sized crochet pizza hat with the free pattern below!
In the middle of Fall, I asked my son what kind of hat he wanted me to make him. He said “Pizza hat!” I thought it was the most genius and funniest idea, so I made it come to life for him!
This hat is so much fun and I love all the pepperonis on it! On the contrary, my son prefers plain pizza only, but I had to add something to the pizza! Plus, pepperonis are such a classic topping. ๐
Grab your hooks and get ready to make this for a pizza loving toddler!
Save it to your Ravelry for later.
