Abbreviations for Santa Hat Hairclips
The following are the crochet techniques that the tutor will use for crocheting this Santa hat hairclip:
- Single Crochet: Insert the hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook; this is the main stitch used for the hat’s body and pom-pom.

- Slip Stitch: Insert the hook, yarn over, and pull through both the stitch and the loop on your hook.
Advanced Techniques:
- Double Crochet: Yarn over, insert the hook, yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull through last 2 loops; this is used for the base of the brim.
- Front/Back Post Double Crochet: Yarn over and insert the hook around the post of the previous row’s stitch (from front-to-back or back-to-front) instead of into the top loop.
