Pink Crochet Hat Pattern

by strommercrafts / January 9, 2023

Happy new year everyone! Today I have a pink crochet hat pattern for you!

This hat is available in sizes newborn to large adult. I have the averages for head circumference and hat height per age.

As always, I recommend obtaining accurate measurements with a tape measure and then finding the instructions for those measurements below.

I decided to use one of my favorite textured crochet stitches for this pattern…the wattle stitch! I’ve used this stitch in some of my previous patterns. It’s a simple stitch that creates a beautiful texture that looks like little flowers.

The yarn I’m using today is from Mainstays 100% Cotton Yarn in Daylily Pink. This natural cotton yarn is nice and soft, and has a variety of neutral and muted shades available (so if pink isn’t your kind of color, check them out!). If you’re using the same pink yarn, this would be the perfect gift for a girl or a baby girl.

Keep in mind that this yarn is a 4 worsted weight, so if you want to use a different yarn, make sure that it is also a 4 worsted weight or your final product might end up too big or too small.

I’ve also decided to sew a faux fur pom pom to the top of this pink crochet hat. If you don’t have a pom pom, you can always make one out of any left over yarn you have.

Special Instructions:

The beginning ch 1’s do not count as a stitch.
This pink crochet hat is worked from the bottom, up.
We will be turning our work after each row, this helps the wattle stitch’s texture show.
A wattle stitch is comprised of a (sc, ch 1, dc) all in the same stitch. Instead of stating the number of individual stitches at the end of each row, the number of wattle stitches are provided once the body of the hat is started.
The bottom ribbing of the hat has a different texture depending on what side you use. See below pic.
After the bottom ribbing is made, instructions state to sc in each “valley” and “ridge” of the side of the ribbing. See below pic.
To sc3tog, insert hook into next st and pull up a loop. Insert hook into the 2nd st and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Insert hook into the 3rd st and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops.

Crochet Sweater for Child – Free Pattern

by strommercrafts / January 2, 2023

Hello everyone, I hope you have all enjoyed the holidays and have had a happy new year’s! Today I have a crochet sweater for a child pattern for you.

I’ve made a few sweaters in the past for my girls, but now that they’re a little bigger, they no longer fit. I decided to see if I could crochet a bigger one with yarn from Yarn Bee’s Soft Secret line.

I’m really enjoying working with this kind of yarn. It’s acrylic (so not as expensive as other yarn types), but incredibly soft and stretchy. The soft, stretchiness of the yarn is perfect for a nice, drapey sweater.

Yarn Bee claims that this yarn is a 4 medium weight, but to be perfectly honest, after using this yarn for a few projects, I think it’s a little lighter/smaller than that. So keep that in mind if you’re using a different type of yarn.

Caron Simply Soft yarn would be my second go to for this crochet sweater pattern. It also claims to be a 4 medium weight, but seems to be a little lighter in my opinion. It’s also an incredibly soft acrylic yarn.

One thing that I love about this sweater, is that it’s worked from the top, down.

This was nice because I had my little models close by and I could just slip the sweater over them and make adjustments as needed. Other sweater patterns might have you make a bunch of different panels and sew them together (which is fine, but the less sewing, the better imo).

Another thing I love about the sweater is that it has a wonderful texture to it! It’s created with one of my favorite types of stitches: the wattle stitch! This stitch is simple and creates a lovely texture that isn’t boring.

To wattle stitch you; (sc, ch 1, dc) all in the same stitch, skip two stitches and repeat. Then when you wattle stitch in the next round, you (sc, ch 1, dc) in the ch 1 spaces from the previous wattle stitch.

This sweater will fit a preschooler to a small child, but you can make this sweater a bigger or smaller size.

Here are the general steps to create this sweater in a different size:

Measure the head circumference of whoever this sweater is for, take note of that number.
Make the neck ribbing long enough so that it will stretch to that head circumference number (if you make the ribbing the exact same size as the head circumference, the sweater might end up being too baggy).
Find the corners for the shoulders. This is done by counting the stitches after the single crochet row (round 61) of the neck ribbing, dividing it by 4 and rounding up or down. The number you get after dividing by 4, will tell you how many stitches from the beginning and end of your sweater, you should place your stitch markers.
Continue crocheting around the neck ribbing and make increases where you placed the stitch markers.
At some point you should be able to fold the sweater in half and determine if you have enough space for the arms, if not keep making increases. Once you’re happy with the arm hole size, you’ll join them together by crocheting the corner increases together.
Continue crocheting until you reach the sweater length that you desire.
Create the bottom ribbing.
Make the arm sleeves by crocheting in the arm hole you created earlier until desired length and then make your sleeve cuffs.

Easy peasy, right? No worries, it will all make sense as we go along.

Materials Needed:

5 mm crochet hook
Yarn Bee’s Soft Secret in Navy Blue x 1 skein (300 yards)
Yarn Bee’s Soft Secret in White x 1 skein (300 yards)
Yarn Bee’s Soft Secret in Denim x 1 skein (300 yards)
Stitch Markers
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

Abbreviations Used:

Please note these are in US terms, not UK.

Ch – chain
St(s) – stitch(es)
Sl st – slip stitch
Sc – single crochet
Dc – double crochet
Sc2tog – single crochet two stitches together
Wattle stitch – series of (sc, ch 1, dc) in same st/space.

Crochet Sweater for Child Pattern:

Neck Ribbing:

With Navy Blue yarn;

Round 1: Ch 5, insert hook into 2nd ch from hook and sc across (4 sts)
Round 2-60: Ch 1, turn, sc in first st, sc in back loop of next 2 sts, sc in last st (4 sts)

Fold together and make 4 slip sts in the top to sew into a band.

Round 61: Sl st into the edge of your band, ch 1, sc in same space, mark this stitch with a stitch marker. We will be making 1 sc into every “valley” and “ridge” of the band. Mark the last stitch with a stitch marker. Join with a sl st to first st (60 sts). Remember, whatever your stitch count is, if making a different size, make this a multiple of 3.

We will now mark corner stitches in the neck ribbing to start our increases for the shoulders. Mark the 15th st, 18th st, 43rd st, and 46th st with stitch markers if following this pattern.

Instructions for different sizes: To find the corner stitches for the shoulders, I’m essentially taking the total sc stitch count I have, and dividing it by 4, placing a stitch marker in that number away from the first stitch and placing another stitch 3 stitches away from that one. Then I do the same on the other side by counting from the last stitch and going the opposite way.

For example: I had 60 sts, 60/4 = 15.25. I round down and place a stitch marker in the 15th stitch away from the first and last stitch. I then count 3 stitches more and place another stitch marker.

Neck and Shoulders:

Round 1: Ch 1 and turn your work. *(sc, ch 1, dc) (this is called the wattle stitch) in next st (your first st marked with the marker), skip 2 sts*, repeat from *to,* you should have 1 st left before the first corner st marker, skip 1 st, (sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) in the first corner stitch marked. Move your stitch marker into the ch 2 space. Skip 2 sts and (sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) in the next corner stitch marked. Move your st marker into ch 2 space as well.
Skip 1 st, **(sc, ch 1, dc) in next st, skip 2 sts,** repeat from **to** until you have 1 st before the next marked corner st. Skip 1 st, (sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) in the first corner stitch marked. Move your stitch marker into the ch 2 space. Skip 2 sts and (sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) in the next corner stitch marked. Move next corner st marker into the ch 2 space. Skip 1 st, repeat from **to** again. You should have a (sc, ch 1, dc) in the last st of the round, sl st to first st.
Round 2: Ch 1, turn, *(sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space of previous round, skip sc and dc of previous row and (sc, ch 1, dc) again,* repeat from *to* until you reach the marked ch 2 space of previous round’s corner stitch. **(sc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space. Place stitch marker in ch 2 space. (sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space, (sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space again. (sc, ch 2, dc) in next ch 2 corner space**. Repeat from *to* until next corner spaces. Repeat **to**. Repeat *to* once more. Sl st to first sc of round.
Round 3: Ch 1, turn, *(sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space, skip sc and dc* repeat from *to* until next ch 2 corner space. **(sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) in ch 2 space. (sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space, skip sc and dc until next corner. (sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, ch 1, dc) in next ch 2 corner space.** Repeat from *to* until next set of corner spaces. Repeat from **to** in next set of corner spaces. Repeat from *to* once more. Sl st to first sc of round.
Round 4: Ch 1, turn, repeat round 2.
Round 5: repeat round 3.
Round 6: repeat round 2.
Round 7: repeat round 3.
Round 8: repeat round 2.
Round 9: repeat round 3.
Round 10: repeat round 2.
Round 11: repeat round 3.
Round 12: repeat round 2.
Round 13: repeat round 3
Round 14: repeat round 2

Length from bottom of neckline to bottom of chest at this point is about 4.5 inches. End on a repeat from round 2 if crocheting a different size.

Armholes:

Round 15: Ch 1, turn, *(sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space, skip sc and dc* repeat from *to* until first ch 2 corner space. Fold so both ch 2 corner spaces are touching, inserting your hook into both ch 2 spaces, (sc, ch 1, dc). You might have to turn your work a little to get the dc into ch 2 space correctly. This creates one of the arm holes. Continue wattle stitching across (don’t wattle stitch around the sleeves) until the next set of ch 2 spaces. Fold together and wattle stitch into both the ch 2 spaces. Wattle stitch until end of row. Sl st into first st.

Cut yarn and switch to White. Sl st into first st.

Round 16-31: Ch 1, turn, wattle stitch around, sl st to first st.

Cut yarn and switch to Denim. Sl st into first st.

Round 32-43: Ch 1, turn, wattle stitch around, sl st to first st.

Bottom Ribbing:

Round 44: Ch 6, insert hook into 2nd ch from hook and sc across ch and sc into the same space as sl st join from round 40. (5 sts)
Round 45: Sc into ch 1 space from wattle stitch from round 40, turn, skip first st, sc into back loop of next 4 sts, sc into last st (5 sts)
Round 46: turn, (do not ch 1), sc into first st, sc into back loop of next 4 sts, sc into dc of wattle stitch from round 40, sc into sc of next wattle stitch
Round 47: turn, skip first two sts, sc into back loop of next 4 sts, sc into last st
Round 48: turn (do not ch 1), sc into first st, sc into back loop of next 4 sts, sc into ch 1 space, sc into dc of wattle stitches from round 40.
Round 49: repeat round 47.
Round 50: turn (do not ch 1), sc into first st, sc into back loop of next 4 sts, sc into sc of wattle stitch, sc into ch 1 space of wattle stitch.

Continue making the ribbing this way and attaching to the body of the sweater by sc into the sc, ch 1 space, and dc of the wattle stitches from round 40.

Once you reach the beginning of the bottom ribbing, fold together and sew together into each st with a sl st.

Cut yarn, pull through, weave in end with tapestry needle.

Sleeves x2:

Change to Navy Blue

Round 1: Insert hook into the armpit of the sleeve and attach with a sl st. Ch 1, wattle stitch around, sl st to first sc (make sure you are crocheting in the opposite way of the previous round of the arm hole, you should be looking at your wattle stitches with a dc first and then ch 1 and sc. This keeps the texture of the sweater consistent throughout the sleeves).

Round 2-7: Ch 1, turn, wattle stitch around, sl st to first st.

Cut yarn, pull through

Change to White, attach with a sl st in same space as previous sl st from round 7.

Round 8-14: Ch 1, turn, wattle stitch around, sl st to first st.

Cut yarn and pull through

Change to Denim, attach with a sl st in same space as previous sl st from round 14.

Round 15-21: Ch 1, turn, wattle stitch around, sl st to first st
Round 22: Ch 1, turn, wattle stitch in the first ch 1 space, *sc into the next ch 1 space, wattle stitch in the next ch 1 space,* repeat from *to* around, ending with a sc in the last ch 1 space.

Sleeve Cuff x2:

Make sure that the same side of the sleeve cuff is facing out on both sides for consistency. You’ll notice that the texture on the front is different than the back. If the second cuff isn’t quite matching your first cuff’s texture, try turning and going the opposite way when you start your ch 6.

Round 23: Ch 6, turn, sc into 2nd ch from hook and next 3 chs, sc2tog in last ch and in same st as sl st. (5 sts)
Round 24: sl st into next st on the sleeve, turn, (going up the ch 6), skip sl st just made, sl st loosely into back loop of next 5 sts.
Round 25: Ch 1, turn, sc in back loop of next 4 sts (these may be a little tight to get into as they are slip stitches, that’s why we are sl sting loosely in round 24), sc2tog in the last st and in the next st along the edge of the sleeve.
Round 26: sl st into next st on the sleeve, turn, skip sl st just made, sl st loosely into back loop of next 5 sts.

Repeat rounds 25-26 until you’ve reached the beginning of round 23.

Line both ends of the cuff together and sl st to sew into each st. Cut yarn with scissors, pull through, weave in end with tapestry needle.

There you go! I hope your sweater turned out just as lovely as mine! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask below.

Until next time!

Simple Crochet Mittens for Toddlers

by strommercrafts / December 27, 2022

Hello everyone, today I have a crochet mitten pattern for a toddler! Winter is finally here and my girls have been needing some new mittens this year.

I ran out to our local Walmart, and seriously, I think everyone has a kid the same size or age as mine because I could not find ANY in the size I needed. It was either 24 months and under or adult mittens. Aghhh!

So I thought maybe I could crochet my girls a pair of simple mittens with some of Yarn Bee’s Soft Secret yarn.

I think these turned out pretty great, and they fit perfectly since I was able to size their hands myself!

These simple crochet mittens should fit ages 2-4 years of age. You can easily adjust this pattern if you’d like however. If you need a smaller size, skip round 3 and continue on, keeping in mind your stitch count will be a tad less. If you need a larger size, add another round of increases by continuing to place 2 hdc in one st and 2 in the next 2 stitches after round 3.

You can also make the cuff length as long as you want (and to be honest, it might be better to make it a little bit longer, especially if you’re like me and have kiddos that ask for help putting their mittens back on frequently).

These mittens fit both of my girls who are 2 and 4 years of age. Their hand width measured 5-5.25 inches and their hand length measured 4-4.25 inches.

Now, these mittens are soft and warm, but they are not made for playing in the snow. I honestly don’t recommend letting your kids wear crochet mittens for snow play, even if it’s really thick, bulky yarn. It just gets wet and soggy and your child will probably not have a very good time.

Again, I’m using Yarn Bee Soft Secret in Ivory yarn for these mittens. This yarn is technically a 4 – medium weight, but I think it feels a little smaller and lighter than that, which is why I’m using a 4.25 mm crochet hook instead of a 5 mm crochet hook. It’s also 100% acrylic, but it’s incredibly soft, so it’s great for those little toddler hands!

Materials Needed:

US G/4.25 mm crochet hook
Yarn Bee Soft Secret in Ivory x 1 skein (300 Yards)
Stitch Marker
Tapestry Needle
Scissors

Abbreviations Used:

Please note these are in US terms and not UK.

Ch – chain
Mc – magic circle
St(s) – stitch(es)
Sl st – slip stitch
Hdc – half double crochet
Hdc2tog – half double crochet two stitches together

Special Considerations:

These simple crochet mittens are crocheted in a continuous round. This is to prevent a visible seam in your mittens. Use stitch markers or a scrap piece of yarn to help you determine the beginning and end of your rounds.
To half double crochet two stitches together (hdc2tog):
- Yarn over, insert your hook into next stitch, pull up a loop (3 loops on your hook)
- Yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop (5 loops on your hook)
- Yarn over, pull through all 5 loops on your hook.

Crochet Mittens (Make Two)

Round 1: 8 hdc in mc (alternatively, ch 2 and crochet in first ch) (8 sts)
Round 2: 2 hdc in each st around (16 sts)
Round 3: 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next st around (24 sts)
Round 4-11: 1 hdc in each st around (24 sts)
Round 12: 1 hdc in first st, ch 4, skip 2 sts, 1 hdc in next st and each st around (22 sts and 1 ch 4)
Round 13: 1 hdc in first st, 4 hdc in ch 4 space, 1 hdc in each st around (make sure to hdc in the st right after the ch 4, see pic below) (26 sts)
Round 14: 1 hdc in each st around (26 sts)
Round 15: hdc2tog, *1 hdc in next 4 sts, hdc2tog, 1 hdc in next 5 sts*, repeat from *to* once more (22 sts)
Round 16: hdc in next 9 sts, hdc2tog, hdc in next 9 sts, hdc2tog (20 sts)
Round 17-20 (or until desired length): 1 hdc in each st around, sl st to first st (20 sts)

Cut yarn with scissors, pull yarn through and weave in end with tapestry needle.

Thumb:

Round 1: holding your mitten downwards, join in the ch 4 space with a slip st in any st. Ch 1, hdc in same st, hdc in each st around, there will be a part in the thumb space where you will have to hdc in sts that are upside from round 12 of the mitten. Make 14 hdc around total (14 sts)
Round 2-3: 1 hdc in each st around (14 sts)
Round 4: hdc2tog, 1 hdc in next 5 sts, hdc2tog, 1 hdc in next 5 sts (12 sts)
Round 5: *hdc2tog, 1 hdc in next st,* repeat from *to* around (8 sts)

Leave enough yarn for sewing, cut with scissors, weave the top of the thumb shut with tapestry needle.

Viola! These simple crochet mittens are so soft and cute, I hope your little ones enjoy them too!

Thank you for checking out this pattern, until next time!

Crochet Veil Pattern – Infinity Snowflakes

by strommercrafts / December 13, 2022

Hello everyone! Today I am presenting another beautiful crochet veil pattern that you can wear to mass.

I still don’t see too many crochet veil patterns for free available, so I thought I would make another one for you.

This crochet veil is made in a lacey fashion with a simple 2 row repeat. The lacey stitches gives the veil the appearance of having stars or snowflakes, which I think is wonderful, especially this time of year!

My last crochet veil has a floral appearance, which you should check out if you enjoy this pattern.

This veil is also made in an infinity veil style.

Like with my previous crochet veil pattern, this one does take a little bit of time to complete, but it looks so beautiful when finished.

I believe this took me about 2-3 weeks of irregular crocheting (anywhere from 0-3 hours a day) to get done. Once you get the hang of the repeat rows, it’s a nice pattern to do while you listen to a podcast or watch your favorite show (or take to the park while your kids run around!).

You can easily adjust the size of the crochet veil if you wish. The starting chain is a repeat of 16 + 7. This means that you will be chaining a series of 16 chains until you reach your desired length and then add 7 chains to the end of that.

I suggest using stitch markers or writing down the number of chains you have for your starting chain so you don’t get lost, especially if you’re like me and easily distracted or need to help a kiddo or two in the meantime!

Also, don’t get too discouraged if your starting chain doesn’t end exactly as it should on the first row.

I found that it’s fairly easy to miss or skip extra chains on accident, especially after you single crochet twice into the same chain…it makes the next chain easy to miss when counting.

If you don’t end up with exactly 4 remaining chains at the end of the first row, it’ll be ok. Nobody is going to know or tell that you’re missing a chain or two, everything will work out :).

Hello everyone! Today I have for you a crochet bear hat pattern in sizes newborn to adult.

I think these crochet bear hats are so cute for both boys and girls!

I am using Soft Secret in Cocoa, Fog and Denim by Yarn Bee for this pattern. I believe you can only find this yarn at Hobby Lobby, but if you don’t feel like purchasing there, Caron Simply Soft Yarn feels very similar to this yarn in softness and weight and can be found at multiple retailers.

Two things that I love about using Yarn Bee’s Soft Secret yarn is; 1) I love how soft it is, even for a 100% acrylic yarn and 2) it’s pleasantly stretchy. So two great qualities for making crochet hats in my opinion.

I have multiple sizes for the hat listed below based on average head sizes for age. I always recommend obtaining an accurate head circumference measurement from yourself or whoever you’re crocheting the hat for in order to get the best fitting hat.

Abbreviations Used:

Please note these are in US terms, not UK.

Ch – chain
St – stitch
Sl st – slip stitch
Hdc – half double crochet
Hdc2tog – half double crochet two stitches together
- Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
- Yarn over again, insert hook into next stitch, pull up a loop (5 loops on hook).
- Yarn over once more, pull through all 5 loops.

Materials Needed:

Soft Secret in Cocoa by Yarn Bee x 1 skein (300 yards)
Soft Secret in Fog by Yarn Bee x 1 skein (300 yards)
Soft Secret in Denim by Yarn Bee x 1 skein (300 yards)
4 mm crochet hook
Scissors
Stitch Marker (scrap piece of yarn or paperclip can work instead)
Tapestry Needle
Measuring Tape (optional)
Pins (optional)

Special Instructions:

The ch 1 at the beginning of the round does not count as a stitch.
Slip stitch into the first stitch of the round, not the beginning chain when completing a round.
The number in () at the end of the round indicates the number of stitches you should have when completing that round.
For the bear ears – crochet in a continuous round, this means that we will not be slip stitching to the first st and chaining 1 like we have been with the hat. Continue crocheting with the next round at the end of your current round. Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of your rounds.

Crochet Bear Hat Assembly

Sew the bottoms of your bear ears shut with your extra long tail of yarn by folding the bottom together.
Make sure you are looking at the very front of your hat.
I suggest using pins to keep your bear ears in place while you sew onto the hat with your tapestry needle.
If you don’t have pins, count out from the center of the top of the hat evenly on both sides.
Sew the ears securely, especially if your sewing child size and up ears, the bigger the ears, the floppier they are.
Cut any extra yarn with scissors.

Thank you for checking out my crochet bear hat pattern! I hope your hat turned out great!

Crochet Chunky Hat Pattern

by strommercrafts / November 12, 2022

Hello everyone, today I have a crochet chunky hat pattern available for you. With the temperature dropping outside and the wind getting chilly, I’ve been getting the motivation to crochet a few hats for the kids.

In this post, you will learn how to crochet a chunky hat in multiple sizes!

I’m using Bernat Acrylic Softee Chunky Yarn in Natural color for this hat pattern. There’s a few reasons why I love using chunky yarn for hats; 1) crochet patterns work up very quickly with bulkier yarn, 2) the bulky yarn keeps you warmer than your typical medium weight yarn.

When crocheting hats, you’ll get the most accurate size if you measure the circumference of the head of whoever you’re making it for. If you don’t have a tape measure handy, no worries! I have sizes newborn to adult available, but keep in mind these are estimates of average head sizes.

Under the different sizes/age groups, I have averages of head circumference, hat length and crown size.

Materials:

Bernat Acrylic Softee Chunky Yarn in Natural x 1 skein
L/8 mm Crochet Hook
Tapestry Needle
Scissors
Tape Measure (optional)

Abbreviations:

Please note these are in US terms, not UK

Ch – chain
St – stitch
Sl st – slip stitch
Hdc – half double crochet

Special Instructions:

You may start your first round with a magic ring/circle or ch 2 and crochet in the first ch.
The beginning chain of each round does not count as a stitch
Slip stitch into the first stitch of the round, not the beginning chain when completing a round.
For the best fitting hat, I suggest obtaining the head circumference of who you’re crocheting the hat for.

Pom Poms

How to make a pom pom for your crochet chunky hat:

Take your yarn and wrap it around 4 of your fingers about x times (see sizes below) (don’t wrap too tightly, you don’t want to hurt your fingers). Carefully slide it off your hand, lay on top of one of your 12 in pieces of yarn.

Take both ends of the cut piece of yarn and tie a tight knot in the middle of your wrapped yarn. For extra security, flip your wrapped yarn over and tie another knot on the other side. If your yarn is not tight, your pom pom may unravel.

Leave enough length to sew onto the hat.

Take your scissors and cut through all the loops on both sides of the bundle.

Fluff your pom pom and cut any missed loops. Shape it up and neaten the pom pom by trimming any long pieces.

Sew pom poms onto top of hat, I suggest counting evenly from the center of the top of the hat for both sides. Or if you’re making just one pom pom, sew directly on the top of the crochet chunky hat.

Newborn-12 Months Pom Pom Size

Cut 2, 12 in pieces of yarn. Lay aside.

Take your yarn and wrap it around 4 of your fingers about 30 times. Follow instructions above.

Toddler (1-3 Years) Pom Pom Size

Cut 2, 14 in pieces of yarn Lay aside.

Take your yarn and wrap it around 4 of your fingers about 40 times. Follow instructions above.

Child (3-10 Years) Pom Pom Size

Cut 2 18 in pieces of yarn, lay aside.

Wrap yarn around 4 of your fingers about 60 times. Follow instructions above.

Teen-Large Adult Pom Pom Size

Cut 2 18-20 in pieces of yarn, lay aside.

Wrap yarn around 4 of your fingers about 65-70 times. Follow instructions above.

Thank you for trying out this Crochet Chunky Hat Pattern, I hope you enjoyed it. Try out single or double pom poms on the top (I personally love the double pom pom for my girls!).

Crochet Chevron Baby Blanket

by strommercrafts / October 11, 2022

Hello, I hope everyone is having a great fall so far! With the weather getting cooler, it’s a lot easier for me to crochet blankets. So today I thought I would share my crochet chevron baby blanket pattern.

As with many crochet patterns, it’s easy to get a hang of once you have completed a few rows.

I use half double crochet in the second loop to create a nice texture. You don’t have to do it that way, but the texture looks great using only one color of yarn.

If you’re not sure what crocheting in the second loop means, no worries, we will discuss this later.

You will also need to be comfortable doing a hdc2tog (half double crochet 2 stitches together). Again, I will discuss how to do this further down.

The crochet chevron baby blanket is made with Aran from Red Heart Super Saver, but as always, feel free to use whatever yarn color you like.

You may notice that Red Heart Super Saver is cost effective, but tends to feel a little rough or scratchy. This is because it is made with acrylic. I like to wash my baby blankets made from acrylic with my clothes, and add a bit of fabric softener. I place mine in the dryer with all my clothes and have had good success in making the blanket feel softer.

Please note that some of the links in this post are affiliate links. That means that if you click on these links and make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. You can find more information about our disclosure policy here. Thank you for your support.

Materials Needed:

Aran by Red Heart Super Saver x 2 jumbo skeins (744 yards per skein)
5 mm Crochet Hook
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

Abbreviations Used:

Ch – chain
Hdc – half double crochet
Hdc2tog – half double crochet 2 stitches together

Helpful Tips:

There will always be 11 stitches on each side of the chevron.
At the top, there will always be 3 hdc in one stitch and you will always skip 2 stitches at the bottom. This creates the lovely chevron or zig zag pattern.
How to hdc2tog:
- yarn over, insert your hook into next stitch, pull up a loop (you have 3 loops on your hook).
- yarn over again, insert your hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop (you have 5 loops on your hook), pull yarn through all 5 loops.
To crochet in the second loop only, look down from the top of your stitches. You should notice that crochet stitches typically have a V shape. Instead of inserting your hook into the next stitch as normal, insert your hook into the part of the V that is farthest away from you.

Crochet Chevron Baby Blanket Pattern:

Ch 178

If you need to adjust the size of the crochet chevron baby blanket, the math is; (ch 25 sts + 3 sts). In simpler terms, chain a multiple of 25 and add 3 chains when you have reached the desired length.

Row 1: Insert into 2nd ch from hook, hdc2tog, *hdc in next 11 chs, 3 hdc in next ch, hdc in next 11 chs, skip 2 chs*, repeat from *to* until last 11 hdcs, you will have 2 chs left at the end of the row, hdc2tog
Row 2: Ch 2, turn, in the back loop only (and from here on out) hdc2tog, *hdc in next 11 sts, 3 hdc in next st (this should be in the middle of the 3 hdc from the previous row), hdc in next 11 sts, skip 2 sts* repeat from *to.*

Repeat row 2 until you’ve reached your desired length. Cut yarn with scissors and pull through. Weave in any ends with tapestry needle.

The Crochet Chevron Baby Blanket is a beautiful way to make a one color blanket. You can see in the pictures how the texture looks, this is all because we crocheted in the back loop only.

Thank you and I hope you enjoyed this free crochet pattern, until next time.

Crochet Shell Baby Blanket – Free Pattern

by strommercrafts / September 9, 2022

Hello everyone, today I have a crochet shell baby blanket pattern for you.

This crochet blanket is made up of a series of stitches that creates a beautiful shells. This pattern is ideal for baby blankets, especially newborn girls, as the shells give the blanket feminine features.

For the blanket pictured, I only used 1 skein of Lion Brand’s Feels like Butta Yarn in Pale Grey. With just 1 skein you can make a good sized stroller or carseat blanket, but you wouldn’t be able to wrap a newborn in it.

For a typical newborn blanket (which is usually about 36 in x 36 in), you’ll need two skeins of Lion Brand’s Feels like Butta Yarn in Pale Grey.

I’ve used this specific yarn before to make burp cloths and winter hats, and I have to say, this is probably the softest acrylic yarn that I’ve worked with. Many acrylic yarns have a scratchy feeling that makes it less than ideal for crochet baby items (washing can soften it up, but it just isn’t the same!).

Lion Brand’s Feels like Butta Yarn is incredibly soft and gives the blanket a nice “squishy” feel. I absolutely love the colors that come from this yarn line. Obviously you don’t have to use the Pale Grey color, but the other colors available are of a softer palette and are great for making baby blankets.

The crochet shell baby blanket is made with one color of yarn and from the center out. If you’ve never made a blanket like this before, don’t worry! It’s not too complicated, and if you don’t like using a magic circle to start, you can always chain 2 and insert your hook into the first chain.

I like making many baby blanket from the center out because no matter when you run out of yarn, you’ll always have a fairly even square!

Size:

With 1 skein of Feels like Butta Yarn, the size will be about 26 in x 26 in.
With 2 skeins, you can crochet a normal sized baby blanket, about 36 in x 36 in.

Materials Needed:

5 mm crochet hook
1-2 skeins of Feels like Butta Yarn by Lion Brand in Pale Grey
Tapestry Needle
Scissors

Abbreviations Used:

St – stitch
Sl st – slip stitch
Mc – magic circle
Ch – chain
Sc – single crochet
Dc- double crochet
Shell – 3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc all in the same st

Crochet Shell Baby Blanket

Round 1: Mc (alternatively you can ch 2 and work in the 1st ch), ch 3 (counts as a dc and ch 1), *dc, ch 1 in mc* repeat from *to* 7 times, sl st to 2nd ch of first ch 3 (you will have 8 dcs and 8 ch 1s).

Remember to place (dc, ch 1, dc) in the scs on the long side, ch 5 and (dc, ch 1, dc, ch 3, dc, ch 1, dc) in the corners of Round 5.

Stop at desired size on a Round 6 repeat, cut yarn with scissors and weave in end with tapestry needle.

DON’T CUT YOUR YARN.

You now have the main part of the crochet Pikachu Table Runner completed.

I highly suggest crocheting the border on the table runner, as it gives it a polished look and a nice vintage vibe.

***Please note that the stitches on the long side before the corner will not line up evenly like on the short side***. This makes the border slightly off on those sides. I’ve made adjustments to the pattern to make it less noticeable, and when you’re finished it will be difficult to tell.

Here is a diagram of the pattern for the border I used.

Border:

Row 1: Turn, ch 1, (sc, ch 1, sc) in same st, sc in each st and ch 1 space across, (sc, ch 1, sc) in the corner spaces. Repeat on all sides. When crocheting down the sides of the table runner, sc in top of dc or ch 3 and in the middle of the “leg” of the dc or in one of the chs in the ch 3. Sl st to the first sc.

Row 2: Sl st into ch 1 space of corner (sc, ch 3, sc), sc in next 4 sts, *(ch 3, skip a st, sc in next st x3 times), sc in next 3 sts.* Repeat from *to* until you’ve reached the corner, sc in next st, (sc, ch 3, sc) in ch 1 corner space. Continue down the next side, after the very last (sc, ch 3, sc), sc in next 6 sts. Create the next (sc, ch 3, sc )corner in the ch 1 space. Continue until the last corner, after last (sc, ch 3, sc), sc in next 4 sts, sl st into first sc made.

Row 3: Ch 1, sc in same st, sc in next st, (sc, ch 5, sc) in ch 3 corner space. Sc in next st, *ch 5, skip 4 sts and sc into next ch 3 space, ch 3, sc into next ch 3 space, ch 3 and sc into last ch 3 space.* Repeat from *to,* until next corner. Ch 5, skip 4 sts, sc into next st, (sc, ch 5, sc) into next ch 3 corner space. Sc into next st and repeat from *to* again down the next side. At the next corner, ch 5, skip 7 sts, sc into next st. Continue until last corner, sl st into first sc made.

Row 4: Ch 1, sc in same st, sl st into ch 5 corner space, ch 3 (counts as dc), make 4 dc in same space, make ch 3 picot, make 4 more dc in same space, sc in next st. *4 dc in next ch 5 space, ch 3 picot, 4 more dc in ch 5 space, sc in next ch 3 space, ch 3, sc in next ch 3 space.* Repeat from *to* until next corner. Continue all the way around, make sure to sc in st prior to and after corner spaces, sl st into first sc made.

Cut yarn with scissors, weave in end with tapestry needle.

Pat yourself on the back for making it all the way to the end!

Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Part 3/4

by strommercrafts / August 10, 2022

Hey everyone, today I have Part 3 of the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Pattern available for you! You should have Part 1 and Part 2 completed by this point.

If you are not familiar, I am using a technique called filet crochet to make this table runner. More specifically, the 3DC method of filet crochet.

Again, I will be describing the stitches as I did in Part 2. That is, I will be discussing where to place an open and closed square.

Remember: An open square consists of a DC, CH1, skip a st, DC. A closed square consists of 3 DC in a row.
