Christmas Hat and Tree Granny Squares

"These two granny squares would make an adorable Christmas blanket. They are easy and don't need a lot of time to make. You only need to know the basic crochet stitches. The measurement for one square is approximately 11 cm x 11 cm, 4.3 inch x 4.3 inch. You are going to need: -The yarn I used is called Florence 100% cotton 50 g/ 125 meter in colours red, green and white. Fifteen 5 mm beads and a star for the tree. I had black ones, so I painted them with a gold nail polish. I tried making the pompom with the cotton yarn, but it looked very stiff and not fluffy. So I made them with Plymouth Encore DK (75% acrylic 25% wool) in white. -Hook size 3.5 mm. -Tapestry needle."
