To start this project, ensure you have the nec­es­sary mate­ri­als, includ­ing worsted weight yarn, a suit­able cro­chet hook (size mm), a tapes­try nee­dle, and a stitch mark­er. The pat­tern incor­po­rates basic cro­chet stitch­es such as sin­gle cro­chet (sc), and dou­ble cro­chet (dc). 

Begin by mak­ing a foun­da­tion row with the spec­i­fied num­ber of stitch­es to achieve the desired head size. Through­out the pat­tern, repeat rows, increas­ing or decreas­ing stitch­es as need­ed for a per­fect fit. Incor­po­rate var­i­ous yarn col­ors for a play­ful touch, or stick to a sin­gle hue for a clas­sic look.
