Elf (or Goblin?) Hats

Both are freeform crochet from novelty yarn

I really like these.  The color combos you used are just wonderful and the shape of the hat is super cute.

Thanks! They're really fun to make - but I'll just have to stash them until the weather gets cool again I suppose (o:

These are so cute - I love them!  I'm going to have to have a go at cranking out one of these while the weather is cooling down so much here!

Adorable!

I just love these.

I have never tried freeform crochet.

Are you able to give any pointers?

Well, i did it from the top down and started with a magic circle but didn't add any increases for 2 rows.
Then i would only increase slightly for each row until I had a tip long enough.
Then I worked it as I would a regular hat.

Thicker yarn/tighter gauge will make the hat more stiff
