You can crochet the hat very quickly. For this you need thick wool or sock yarn (2 threads):

Make 4 sts for round, put 2 sts in each st, once more sts in each st. 2 sts, round = M.


5th row in every 3rd st. 2 sts.

6th row in each st. 1 st.

7th row in every 7 sts. 2 sts.


8th + 9th round a round solid M.

7-ninth Repeat R. until about 28 rows (depending on the size of the hat or the beer ball) = approx. 12 cm in height

  • Cardboard (eyes and nose)

Eyes: Cut out of cardboard, paint with black pencil, also the nose
