Pink Crochet Hat Pattern

/

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 Bear Hat Pattern – Sizes Newborn to Adult

/

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:

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.

Newborn Size in Fog, Child Size in Denim, Adult Size in Cocoa.

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.

Crochet Chunky Hat Pattern

/

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.

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.

Duck Bucket Hat – Free Crochet Pattern

/

Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you my latest creation; a crochet duck bucket hat! Now that it’s getting warmer, I’ve been in the mood to make less wintery hats and focus more on summer time crochet patterns.

I was inspired to create this little guy after I finished my Frog Bucket Hat. I think both turned out super cute!

The Duck Bucket Hat (pictured above) is toddler size, however I do have different sizes included. If you need help determining your hat size, I have a size chart here.

I have estimated sizes underneath each hat size. Please note that these may be a little bigger or smaller depending on your tension. 

As always, you can use any yarn type (this is acrylic), as long as it’s worsted medium weight #4. If you use different yarn weights and hook sizes, your hat might come out too big or small!

I use a magic circle to start the duck bucket hat, but you can use a chain 2 and start your hat in the second chain from your hook if you prefer. If you need help with starting a magic circle, see my previous post here.

The brim of a bucket hat is created by working in the front loop of the next stitch. If you look at the top of your stitch, you can see that there are two little “bars” next to each other. The “bar” that is closest to you is the front one. 

Crocheting in the front loop makes your stitches go out instead of down! Very useful for making brims on hats.

Please also note that on this page, instructions for the different size hats is displayed first and the facial features are at the bottom of this page. I use the same size eyes, beak and hair tufts for all the sizes, however feel free to adjust and make bigger or small by taking away or adding stitches.

Alright, let’s get to the pattern!

***See at the end of page for eye, beak, and hair tuft instructions***

Eye, Beak, and Hair Tuft:

Use a 4 mm crochet hook for eyes, beak, and tufts.

Again, these are for all hat sizes. Feel free to adjust size if desired by adding or subtracting stitches/rows or by sizing up/down a hook size.

Eyes (make 2):

With Black yarn and 4 mm crochet hook:

  • Round 1: Make 5 dc in magic circle (5) 
  • Round 2: Use stitch marker to mark the next stitch. Do not sl st to the next st, continue crocheting in the round. Make 2 sc in each st around. Sl st to first st (10 sts)

Cut a long length of yarn for sewing later with your scissors, and pull through.

Beak:

Note that I am not counting the turning chain as a stitch.

With Pumpkin yarn and 4 mm crochet hook:

  • Row 1: Ch 2, make 1 sc in second ch from hook (1 sc)
  • Row 2: Ch 2, turn, make 2 dc in the previous sc you made (2 sts)
  • Row 3: Ch 2, turn, make 2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next st, and 2 dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row (5 sts)
  • Row 4: Ch 2, turn, make 2 dc in next st, make 1 dc in the next 3 sts, make 2 dc in last st (not the turning chain this time) (7 sts)
  • Row 5: Ch 2, turn, make 2 dc in the next st, make 1 dc in next 5 sts, and make 2 dc in last st (9 sts)

Cut a long length of yarn for sewing later with your scissors, and pull through.

Cut a long length of yarn for sewing later with your scissors and pull through.

Assembly:

You will need to sew two pieces of the hair tufts together, that way you have a total of three “bulkier” pieces.

Line two tufts up and sew together with tapestry needle. Whip stitch, or use whichever sewing method you prefer. Do not cut off any excess yarn yet.

Line one tuft up on the top of the hat by placing one directly in the middle (there should be a larger hole there). Sew in place with tapestry needle. I like to tie the yarn ends together and cut of any excess, that way my assembled pieces are more secure.

Sew the next two tufts on each side of the middle tuft to create three cute little tufts coming from the top of the hat together. See pic below for reference.

Line the beak in the middle of the hat and sew in place. I think the beak looked better by lining the tip of the beak on the very last round prior to the brim. Feel free to use pins to keep the beak from moving around on you. Tie and cut off any excess.

Sew both eyes almost right on the two corners of the beak. Sew closer than you think you need to. If you sew them too far away from the beak, it tends to look a little wonky when the hat is worn. Wearing the hat will stretch the eyes away from each other a bit and the facial features might look a little silly.

Crochet Umbreon Hat – Free Crochet Pattern

/
Pinterest pin of Umbreon crochet hat

Hey everyone! I decided to whip up another Pokémon themed crochet hat based off of my favorite dark type, Umbreon! 

I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn to complete this project, but feel free to use a brand of your choice as long as it’s a medium worsted weight yarn (#4). 

The hat pictured above is sized for a teen/small adult (about a 20 inch head circumference and the hat is about 7.75-8 inches tall). If you’re  familiar with crocheting hats, you can adjust the size and length of the hat as needed. I have a hat chart here if you need a reference to adjust your hat size accordingly.

The ears are roughly 7 inches tall and about 6.75 inches in circumference, but yours might be slightly bigger or smaller, it just depends on how tight or loose you like to crochet and how firmly you stuff the ear.

Materials Needed:

  • 5mm crochet hook
  • 4mm crochet hook
  • 1 skein of medium worsted weight Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Black
  • <1 skein of medium worsted weight Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Bright Yellow
  • Poly-Fil
  • Stitch marker
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle

Abbreviations Used:

  • Sc – single crochet
  • Hdc – half double crochet
  • Ch – chain
  • St(s) – stitch(es)
  • Sl st – slip stitch
  • Sc2tog – single crochet two stitches together
  • Mc – magic circle
  • * – repeat instructions between *and* 

Special Instructions:

Hat

For the hat, I use the magic circle to start, but you can chain 2 and start in the second chain from your hook to create the hat. Totally your choice. I find that the magic circle makes the hole at the top of your hat a little less big

The chain 1 does not count as a stitch. Start your first hdc in the same stitch as the chain 1.

Ears

Continue to work in the round when you reach the end. Do not slip stitch and chain 1. This is where your stitch marker comes in handy to mark the beginning of your rounds.

Hat:

Hat circumference: 20 inches. Hat height : 7.75-8 inches

With black yarn and 5mm hook:

  • Round 1: Make 8 hdc in mc, sl st to first st (8 sts)
  • Round 2: Ch 1, 2 hdc in each st around, sl st to first st (16 sts)
  • Round 3: Ch 1, *2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next st* repeat around, sl st to first st (24 sts)
  • Round 4: Ch 1, *2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next 2 sts* repeat around, sl st to first st (32 sts)
  • Round 5: Ch 1, *2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next 3 sts* repeat aroun, sl st to first st (40 sts)
  • Round 6: Ch 1, *2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next 4 sts* repeat around, sl st to first st (48 sts)
  • Round 7: Ch 1, *2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next 5 sts* repeat around, sl st to first st (56 sts)
  • Round 8: Ch 1, *2hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next 6 sts* repeat around, sl st to first st (64 sts)
  • Round 9: Ch 1, *2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next 15 sts* repeat around, sl st to first st (68 sts)
  • Round 10-21: Ch 1, 1 hdc in each st around (68 sts). Adjust number of rounds if needed.

Cut and pull through. Weave in end with tapestry needle.

Ears (make 2):

With 4 mm hook and black yarn:

  • Round 1: 4 sc in mc (4 sts)
  • Round 2: 2 sc in each st around (8 sts)
  • Round 3-4: Sc in each st around (8 sts)
  • Round 5: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st* repeat around (12 sts)
  • Round 6: Sc in each st around (12 sts)
  • Round 7: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 2 sts* repeat around (16 sts)
  • Round 8: Sc in each st around (16 sts)
  • Round 9: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 3 sts* repeat around (20 sts)
  • Round 10: Sc in each st around (20 sts)
  • Round 11: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 4 sts* repeat around (24 sts)
  • Round 12-13: Sc in each st around (24 sts)
  • Sl st to next st, cut and pull yarn through. With Bright Yellow yarn, make a standing sc in the sl st just made. You can carry the cut yarn with you or hide it on the inside of the ear.
  • Round 14-17: Sc in each st around (24 sts)
  • Sl st to next st, cut and pull through yarn. With black yarn, make a standing sc in the sl st just made.
  • Round 18-20: Sc in each st around (24 sts)
  • Round 21: *Sc2tog, 1 sc in next 4 sts* repeat around (20 sts)
  • Round 22: Sc in each st around (20 sts)
  • Round 23: *Sc2tog, 1 sc in next 3 sts* repeat around (16 sts)

  • Round 24: Sc in each st around (16 sts)
  • Round 25: *Sc2tog, 1sc in next 2 sts (12 sts)
  • Round 26: Sc in each st around (16 sts)
  • Round 27: *Sc2tog, sc in next st* repeat around (12 sts)

Cut and pull through a long piece of yarn for sewing.

Head Ring: 

With 4mm hook and Bright Yellow yarn:

  • Round 1: Ch 26, sl st to first ch. Make sure not to twist the ch as you connect it. 
  • Round 2: Ch 1, 3 sc in first ch, 1 sc in next 11 ch sts, 3 Sc in next ch, sc in next 11 ch sts, sl st to first st (28 sts)
  • Round 3: Ch 1, Sc in same st as ch 1, 3 sc in next st, sc in next 13 sts, 3 Sc in next st, 13 Sc in next 13 sts, sl st to first st  (30 sts)

Cut long piece of yarn for sewing and pull through.You should have something that resembles an oval or ring at this point. 

 

Assembly:

Start by sewing the Umbreon’s ears to the hat.  From the top center of the hat, count 5 rounds or holes to the left and attach ear. Do the same for the right side. I like to tie off my yarn on the inside before I cut any excess off, that way they stay a little more secure.  

Line Umbreon’s head ring in the lower middle area of the hat and sew with tapestry needle as shown in picture above. 

And there it is! Your super cool, dark Umbreon hat is complete! 

Thank you for checking out this pattern and have a great day!

How to Crochet

How to Crochet a Beanie of Any Size

/

It’s super easy to crochet the perfectly sized beanie or hat! All you need is the measurement of the head circumference and you’re golden! 

Well, there’s a little more to it, but I promise, it’s not as bad as you might think. I’ll provide the formulas for you, so there’s little room for error.

If you’re not sure what the head circumference is of the person you’re crocheting your beanie for, I have an average of measurements listed below that you can use. 

Supplies you’ll need:

  • Your choice of yarn
  • Crochet hook 
  • Measuring tape
  • Tapestry needle to sew your ends
Crown
Height
Circumference

In order to get:

Crown width – Take your circumference and divide that number by pi (3.14).

Hat height – Take your circumference divided by 10 and multiply by 4.

Circumference -Take a measuring tape and measure around your head above the ears. I like to subtract an inch or so off of this measurement so the beanie sits snugly (especially if your are crocheting with stretchy/squishy yarn)

So in the picture above, the circumference for this hat is about 16 inches. In order for me to get the crown width, I took 16/3.14 which is right about 5. So 5 inches for the width. 

To know how long to crochet my hat (the hat height), I took 16/10 x 4. So 16 divided by 10 is 1.6. Take 1.6 times 4 and you get 6.4. 6.4 inches is how long I want my hat to be in order for the proportions to be correct.

You can use this chart below to see average measurements per age.

Happy crocheting!

Crochet Pikachu Hat for Newborn (Free Pattern)

/

If you like crochet and Pokemon, try making this cute crochet Pikachu hat! 

To be honest, I really like the Pokemon series. I always enjoyed playing the video games as a kid, and I still play some today, but now that I have my own kids, there’s not much time for gaming! 

HOWEVER! I can still enjoy one of my favorite video game genres with this Pikachu hat pattern.

You can complete this pattern in an afternoon if you’re an efficient crocheter. The hat itself works up fairly quickly since it’s all half double crochets.  

This Pikachu crochet hat fits an average newborn, so a head circumference of about 12.5″-13.”

You can make your hat bigger if you need to, but the ears may be a little small depending on the size. I have a tutorial and a chart here on how to crochet a beanie/hat in any size.  

Supplies needed:

  • Worsted weight 4 yarn in:
    • Yellow
    • Black
  • 5mm crochet hook
  • 4mm crochet hook
  • Stitch marker (optional)
  • Poly-fil for stuffing
  • Tapestry needle
  • Pins (optional)
  • Scissors

Terms used:

  • sl st – slip stitch
  • sc – single crochet
  • hdc – half double crochet
  • ch – chain
  • mc – magic circle
  • inc – crochet 2 stitches in the same stitch
  • dec – crochet 2 stitches together
  • (x) – x indicates the number of stitches you should have at the end of your round

Special Instructions:

For the hat, the beginning chain of each round does not count as a stitch. The first stitch of each round will be started in the same stitch as the beginning chain. Slip stitch to the first stitch (not the beginning chain) when you’re at the end of the round. This makes the “seam” when crocheting the hat appear less visible.

Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of your stitches when crocheting the ears. When crocheting amigurumi, it’s better to crochet continuously in the round for a cleaner looking final product. Do not join with a sl st to the first stitch. You can technically do this, but you’ll be able to see a seam, which we don’t want.

Hat:

With yellow yarn and 5mm hook

Round 1) 8 hdc in mc, sl st to first stitch. (8)

Round 2) Ch 1, hdc inc in each stitch around, sl st to first stitch. (16)

Make sure to weave the ends of your yarn tails into the hat to prevent it from unraveling.
