Actully, in rewatching "Darkness", Rumple, in his exposition that he was the Oxford Professor, said something to the effect that he gave Belle the spell to release the Fairies, and to "Summon" the Chernabog. I don't think Chernabog was actually IN the hat, but just used the magic around releaseing the fairies to appear from wherever he was to Storybrooke.
