My Little Lion Crochet Set

I found these images in my archives and thought it would be fun to share. I never ended up writing or publishing the patterns. If I get some free time this winter, I may try to revisit and write up the patterns for the set. 

Hunter's costume for his class play: Circa 2013. My little lion was around 9 years old and still interested in posing for my pictures. He is now 16 and only interested in camera evasion!

This would have made my baby cub about 4 1/2 years old in the picture. Luckily he still likes to pose for my photos and selfies. And still likes to cuddle with mama. 

Moral of the photos: hug, squeeze, and cuddle your cubs while you can. They grow up way to fast. 

Enjoy, my friends!

Materials: 

Worsted weight yarn

Tapestry needle

Hook size: J/6.00mm 

Abbreviations:

CH = chain

SC = single crochet

DC = double crochet

SL ST = slip stitch

ST = stitch

 

Gauge:

6 stitches = 2" across 

5 rows = 2" height 

Special Notes:

Chains do not count as stitches in this pattern.

Dimensions are based on averages, (Circumference x Height).

Measure the intended noggin (around the head just over the ears) for an ideal fit.

End on DC stitch throughout pattern. 

Pattern Instructions:

Adult Medium

Chain 62+1, 

Row 1: SC in second chain from hook, DC in next chain, *(SC, DC) repeat across to end of chains, Chain 1, turn. (62 stitches)

Row 2: SC in first stitch, DC in next, *(SC,DC) repeat across to end of row, Chain 1, turn. (62 stitches) 

Row 3 - 26: Repeat Row 2. Or...

Continue to repeat Row 2 until you have reached desired length. 

Refer to the guide below for various size options. Replace the “Chain xx+1” with your respective size for number of stitches and rows.

Pattern Guide: 

(Stitches x Rows)

0-3 months: 36+1 stitches, 12 rows

3-6 months: 42+1 stitches, 14 rows

6-12 months: 48+1 stitches, 16 rows

Toddler/1-3 years: 50+1 stitches, 18 rows

PreK/3-5 years: 54+1 stitches, 20 rows

Child/6-10 years: 56+1 stitches, 22 rows

Teen/Adult S: 60+1 stitches, 24 rows

Adult M: 62+1 stitches, 26 rows

Adult L/XL: 64+1 stitches, 28 rows

Assembly: 

You should now have a rectangle shaped piece of fabric. Fold in half sew up the side of your hat with a tapestry needle and yarn. Align edges with care as you sew - sometimes the fabric can get off a row as you sew. When you reach end of side, continue to sew across the next edge to close the top of the hat. 

Next, take two stitch markers and mark off a "triangle" where you will stitch across to form the ears of your kitty hat. (See image below for reference.) I counted 8 rows down from the top of the hat and placed a stitch marker there, then counted 10 stitches in from corner of hat and placed a stitch marker there to give me the desired "triangle" shape for my ears. You could also eyeball it. Use yarn needle and yarn to sew across diagonally from one stitch marker to the other. I used a basic embroidery back stitch to create my diagonal seam line for the ear.

Repeat this process for both sides of the hat to form two "ears" that will stick up to create the cute kitty effect on your hat. Remove stitch markers, break yarn, weave ends. 

*Note: I added several extra rows to the hat pictured to create a fold over brim. 

If you try this pattern, I’d love to see your finished product! Sharing is caring.

When you reach end of side, continue to sew across the next edge to close the top of the hat. Finish and weave in yarn tail. 

Create two pom-poms. Add one to each corner of the top of the hat. (You could also create small pom-poms and add more than one to each corner.) To finish off my double pom-pom hat, I added one round/row of double crochet stitches around the bottom of the hat. You could also finish your hat with single crochets or other types of crochet stitches. (See images for reference.)

I created my hat to fit my head with a bit of give because I don’t like them super tight. Using a J hook in this pattern will give your fabric gentle ease. Please keep in mind that I tend to crochet a bit loosely, so you may need to adjust your hook size down or decrease stitch count to obtain the desired hat size. I have calculated sizes based on average head measurements.

If you try this pattern, I’d love to see your finished product! Sharing is caring.

Rumpelstiltskin Beanie

Hi! Once I started working with the griddle stitch I couldn't stop myself from creating a beanie,
slouchy and a few other patterns too.

The griddle stitch is so easy and creates a nice textured fabric, soft to the touch and cozy too!
I hope you enjoy this and give it a go.

*The griddle stitch is an alternating pattern between SC and DC. Make SC stitches in DC stitches from previous row, then DC in the SC from previous row. Each row should always start with a SC and end with a DC, Chain 1 and turn.

Rumpelstiltskin Drawstring Hat

Inspired by Sara’s headband pattern over at RepeatCrafterMe - I came up with a drawstring hat with a soft, cozy texture perfect for chilly days. PomPoms optional!

*The griddle stitch is an alternating pattern between SC and DC. Make SC stitches in DC stitches from previous row, then DC in the SC from previous row. Each row should always start with a SC and end with a DC, Chain 1 and turn.

Adult L/XL: 64+1 stitches, 28 rows

Assembly:

You should now have a rectangle shaped piece of fabric. Fold in half and sew up the side of your hat with a tapestry needle and yarn. Align edges with care as you sew - sometimes the fabric can get off a row as you sew.

To finish and “cinch” up the top of your hat: crochet a chain the same length as your starting chain based on pattern guide. (For example, I chained 62 for the hat pictured, the same size as my starting chain for the pattern above.) Leave an extra long tail at each end of your chain to attach pompoms if desired. This also makes feeding the chain through the first row at top of hat easier.

Feed the chain in and out of stitches in Row 1 of your hat all the way around until they meet. Draw both ends together snug, cinching up the top of the hat closed. Now you can tie a knot or bow with the chain to secure the hat closed. Or you may want to add pompoms as a cute little accent.

I created my hat to fit my head with a bit of give because I don’t like them super tight. Using a J hook in this pattern will give your fabric gentle ease. Please keep in mind that I tend to crochet a bit loosely, so you may need to adjust your hook size down or decrease stitch count to obtain the desired hat size. I have calculated sizes based on average head measurements.

If you try this pattern, I’d love to see your finished product! Sharing is caring.
