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.
