You’ll need worsted-weight yarn in your favorite color, a size J (6 mm) crochet hook, a tapestry needle, and a stitch marker to create this Olaf-inspired crochet hat. You can also add a faux fur pom pom for an extra touch of cuteness. Here’s how to get started:

**Single Crochet**: Start with the first stitch and work single crochet stitches in each chain across the foundation row. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a circle.

**Repeat Row**: Continue crocheting in rounds, repeating the back loop single crochet stitch for the desired hat height. Mark the beginning of each round with a stitch marker for easy tracking.

**Olaf’s Face**: To create Olaf’s face, crochet the different color details on the hat using slip stitches (sl st). Follow the free pattern for the specific design.
