Candy-Stripe Santa Slouch

A tall, unisex Santa slouch with a snug cream brim (loop stitch from 3 years), a red single-crochet cone, one thin cream stripe and an optional cut cream pom-pom from 3 years. 2Y: smooth cream brim, no loops, no pom; these 2Y details are not drawn in the illustration. Eight head sizes run from Toddler to XL; make Forest or Navy by recolouring A in the app. The finished-item picture is an illustration; colours are approximate; omit the pom-pom for any child under 3 years, and check the sewing-on before every wear.
You'll need: springy wool worsted weight (category 4) yarn in A Red and B Cream; 5.5 mm hook or size to match gauge; stitch marker; yarn needle; scissors; 3.5 or 4.5 in card and strong yarn for the optional pom-pom. See each size for separate yarn ranges, an estimate: weigh your swatch.
