The following are the crochet techniques that the tutor will use for crocheting all of these Christmas amigurumi:

2. (Slip Stitch – SL ST): Used to join rounds or end a section by pulling the yarn through the stitch and the loop on the hook.
3. (Double Crochet – DC): The primary stitch used for the hat’s body provides a quick, taller stitch for faster project completion.
4. (Increase): Work two double crochet stitches into the same stitch to add circumference and shape the cone.
5. (Single Crochet – SC): Used for a dense row to create a strong, standing edge for the hat’s brim.
