PARTY HAT HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIGN

This was created to celebrate my boss’ birthday.  The hats can be made in any variety of colors.  I used a rainbow of colors.  The lettering can be included like I did or left off.  You can also use pom-poms on the top of each hat or do what I did.  I could not find all of the colors in pom-poms, so I substituted crocheted circles.  I also included my boss’ last name on the sign.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn:  Main color, contrasting color and white.
F crochet hook
Tapestry needle
