YO and dc into the back of the 5th ch from hook.
Trim yarn and use a tapestry needle to join dc to the back of the first ch.
Weave in ends and trim yarn.
Belt:
Ch 32 + 1 with black yarn.
sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across (32)
Put the buckle onto the hat belt.
Join the belt using a whip stitch or a couple of sl st.
Put the belt/hat band (honestly, what’s that thing called??) onto the leprechaun’s hat.
Put your beer into its new home. Raise to mouth. Drink.
Bonus! These leprechaun hat beer koozies double as coasters, so my husband has dubbed them “coaster-cozies.” He’s so cute. 😉

Thanks Candice! I’ll share your roundup on social media. 🙂
Very hard to print off the pattern, will not let you go to the free printable pattern. I do not need all the pictures to explain how to crochet.
Those are so cute, and what the heck is St Patrick’s Day without something beer related, anyway, lol! I’ve included this in the St Patrick’s Day Crochet Pattern Roundup I’ve just posted over on Stashing Yarn to share the beer-ey love! https://stashingyarn.com/12-awesome-free-st-patricks-day-crochet-patterns/
I totally agree, Tara! Thanks for sharing the pattern!
