Hey Crochet Rockers! We’ve reached 450+ likes on FB, so I thought “hey – I’m gonna spread the crochet love to all these new friends!” Here’s my version of a simple baby beanie that is easy to crochet and works up in an evening (even for beginners). I hope you all like it. As always, should you have any questions about this pattern – please email me, message me on Ravelry or comment on this post.
This sweet baby beanie was a special
order for a baby shower gift and I think it turned out to be so precious!
(Shout out to Irma A. for the request and inspiration!)
I've also created a post for the Pretty Girl Beanie here (a larger version of this beanie). It has instructions for sizes 6 months - Adult.

Optional
Embellishment:
I crocheted two different styles of
flowers that my friend could include with her baby shower gift. One flower was larger,
more full and sassy, while the other was smaller, less full and more subdued. That
way, mommy has options! (Some mommies like the larger flowers, some like a
little “less.”)
Here are the links to the two free
flower patterns I used.
You could also use buttons, silk
flowers, fabric flowers, ribbons or other fun accents to adorn this sweet
little beanie. Be creative!
Rock the hook.
Don't forget to rock with me over at Facebook, Pinterest and on Ravelry.
Thank you! Mine turned out lovely! at least I think so =)
ReplyDeleteI love hearing that! I'm really glad you gave my pattern ago.
DeleteThank you,
Tia
Going to make one of these tonight or tomorrow... I have a BUNCH of Caron SS, so am VERY happy that this pattern was written using that yarn. When I use Caron SS for patterns originally made with other worsted yarn, the fineness of the yarn makes the finished project too small. (it is a very light worsted, while "standard" worsted yarns are about 25% bulkier)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way! Unless the pattern is specifically written with Caron SS in mind, it's hard to get the same results due to the lightness. Despite the trouble, it's still one of my favorite yarns to use. And I get so many requests for baby patterns made from it because of it's texture and softness.
DeleteI'd love to feature your finished photos if you feel like sharing when you are done! Also, I have been developing this pattern for big girls too as a special request. I'll get that up later this week, I hope!
Piękna czapeczka :-) :-) :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm VERY new to reading patterns, and I was wondering if the numbers in ( ) are telling me to DS 20 : DS (20). Or is that how many DS I'm suppose to have in that row? Thanks for any help!! Butterflyjy18@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteGreat question Jessica! At the end of each round the # in ()'s tells you how many total stitches you should have in the round. Hope this helps! (I think we chatted about this on FB too.)
DeleteHi! If anyone has time I was wondering if they could tell me if red heart baby TLC yarn would work for this.... it is a 3(;ight) I sorta need to know ASAP, so thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, Redheart Baby TLC will work. Another Raveler used it for this pattern and posted at Ravelry, under projects for this pattern.
DeleteHope this helps.
how would i make this preemie size? preemie things fit dolls and i'd love to make one for my daughter
ReplyDeleteI would play with the pattern a bit. Try stopping the increase section after Rnd 3 or Rnd 4 (giving you 30 or 40 dc respectively). And then proceed to Rnd 6 where you are essentially just adding length instead of diameter (width). If I had to guess, Rnd 3/30 dc's around would be about right for a preemie. Please let me know if you attempt a preemie hat. I'd love to see it and hear how it goes.
DeleteI am making another hat for a birthday present for my neice's doll and am finally responding to this! I hope you don't think I'm rude! I went up to 40 dc and stopped at 7 rows. Then alternated the pattern and finished the rest without changing anything but the number of stiches. It turned out fabulous! very happy thank you so so much.
DeleteI'm glad you are happy with the outcome! I hope others find your size helpful too. Thank you for commenting!
DeleteThree weeks ago I couldn't even crochet, but now I've made two of these in two days, on adult one six month old baby size, I'm so grateful to you for your generosity. Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate.
ReplyDeleteAlison, You are so very welcome! I am glad you like the pattern! Merry Christmas to you too!

Help I end up with way to many stitches, rnd 3 2dc in next stitch, dc 1. That will give me 50
ReplyDeleteI'm beginner as u can tell.
Patt
Hi Patt! Let's start back at Rnd 2. You should have 2 dc's in each stitch from Rnd 1 - giving you a total of 20 for Rnd 2. When you start Rnd 3, remember that your ch 2 doesn't count as a stitch. So, you will work 2 dc's in the first space/stitch from Rnd 2, then you will work 1 dc in the second space/stitch from Rnd 2. This now gives you 3 stitches so far in Rnd 3. Repeat this pattern around until you join back up with first dc from Rnd 3. This should give you 30 stitches total.
DeletePlease let me know if this helps or confuses you. I will help however I can! Thank you for attempting the pattern! I hope you are successful with it.

Where do you dc1?
ReplyDeleteThat hat was great ! Now on rnd 4 if I do 2dc in each stitch that will give me 60? And we only want 40. Please clarify this for me. Thank you so much for your help.
ReplyDeleteSo for Rnd 4 you'll work 2 dcs in the first space, then work 1 dc in each of the next two spaces. This gives you 4 stitches so far in Rnd 4. Repeat this pattern around until you join - giving you 40 stitches total.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps!

DeleteYou are very welcome!

Hi Tia,
ReplyDeleteJust want to say thank you for the awesome pattern! I made a beanie using your pattern, but just changed the flower for veterans day :)

Thanks again!

Doris,
DeleteYou are so welcome! I'm glad you found it useful. Your beanie is lovely too!
Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern! I have one question, how do you suggest putting the rose on the hat? Do you sew it, or is there another way?
ReplyDeleteMegan, Hi! I just saw this in the comment que. I usually use a yarn needle to sew the flower on permanently (leave a long tail on the flower at the end for that purpose). Unless, someone has special ordered and specifically asked me not to sew the flower on - then i just include the flower and let them decide. Great questions!
DeleteThanks,
Tia
