Tatting thread is perfect for crocheting little scarf hats for my miniature bears. The crochet needle has to be miniscule, and it took me more than a few tries to get it just right, but the finished product was well worth it. Each of these teddy bears stands at 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 inches tall. I crocheted the hat to be especially long so that it would wrap around the neck of the bear. I've added a silver-tone bell to the end of the hat, and I've used a delicate light pink mohair thread to the base of the hat that goes well with the shade of pink in the tatting thread. I lightly stitched the hat to the bear's head over one of his ears. The ear gives the hat some added support.
