Lucky Pot o Gold Top Hat Headband

If you’ve been browsing around my blog for a while, you know that I love holidays and headbands! So why not combine the two in the luckiest way possible for St. Patty’s Day? You might remember my Witch Top Hat Headband from Halloween, and my Hot Cocoa Mug Top Hat from Christmas. I’m starting to think I should make these fun hat headbands for each holiday! They are one size, so you can make them for everyone you know. The cute details on this top hat make it so fun – yet the design is really simple and easy to make! It’s a win-win for your St. Patrick’s Day wardrobe!

When it comes to really deep, verdant greens that are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, you can’t go wrong with the lovely “Kelly Green” by Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice! I used it for this pattern and love the results. It manages to be a bright jewel tone without being too light, bright or neon. Find some on Amazon:

Finishing
Arrange pieces as seen in first photo below. Sew Shamrock to Top Hat. Sew Gold pieces to top of Top Hat, sewing only centers so that coins are still distinguishable. Sew Rainbow behind Gold. Sew Top Hat to Headband (second photo below). Weave in all ends and/or tie off knots and hide inside sts.
