Crochet a Graduation Cap for Your Plushies in under 10 minutes!

Crochet this beginner friendly graduation cap pattern in under 10 minutes for your plushie. This pattern can be used with any yarn and hook size, although I recommend using a thinner yarn and smaller hook size from what used to work your plushie.

For example, if you used super bulky #6 yarn for your plushie, I recommend using medium weight #4 yarn for the hat or if you used jumbo weight yarn #7 for your plushie, then use super bulky #6 yarn for the hat.

Here are some examples:
