National Coffee with a Cop Day – Free Cop Hat Ornament Pattern

Every year on the first Wednesday in October, National Coffee with a Cop Day brings men and women in uniform together with their communities to connect over a cup of coffee. If you have a member of law enforcement in your family, you’re going to love this new Policeman’s Hat Ornament Crochet Pattern.

 

 

This pattern was designed as part of a series for my recent ebook, It’s a Wonderful Life Advent Calendar. The Policeman Hat Ornament symbolizes Bert the Cop, one of George Bailey’s best friends.

Just a few yards of sport or worsted weight yarn are needed for these ornaments. Using your scrap basket, make a few different colors to match the uniforms of different jurisdictions.

Finished ornament measures approximately 2.5″ wide using sport yarn and 3.5” wide using worsted yarn.

Pug Christmas Tree Ornament

pug ornament

For the last Christmas in July post of the year, I made a cute little Christmas ornament to match my pug, Bruno. He doesn’t look too impressed, does he?

pug ornament

Anyway, I thought it was cute, and I’ll hang it on my tree this year. I may even make a couple more with squeakers inside. That should impress him! Bruno loves squeakers and won’t play with a toy that doesn’t make noise.

It only takes a few yards of each color, so you probably already have them in your scrap basket.
