Crocheted Baby Beanie

I’m sure we have all found a million crocheted baby hats on the internet and there are many patterns out there as well. I have been searching the internet for one that I just had to make and of course I found many that were super cute, but I had to purchase those patterns (Bummer!) So I came up with one of my own using some very basic crochet skills. If you can double crochet, you can make this cute, simple hat!

I made this hat for my daughter’s baptism. I wanted something to cover her head as it was winter and the bonnet that came with the gown didn’t fit her head. She does have a large head for her age – they tell me she will be very smart, lots of brains!

 

Size: 3-6 Months

Supplies:

Size H (5.00MM) crochet hook

Worsted weight yarn (I used RedHeart White)

Tapestry needle

Yarn/stitch marker (I use a bobby pin)

~Your flat circle should measure 4.50 inches across, maybe a little more depending on how tight or loose you crochet. (mine was just a tish over)~

Round 8-12: Repeat round 7

Round 9: Ch 1, SC in each st around, sl st to the first st

Round 10-11: Repeat round 9 - once complete, fasten off and weave in the ends.

I didn't add the flowers until later as I just wanted a white hat, but here is the flower pattern if you want to add those on. I think they add a pop of color!

Flower

Make a magic ring, chain 1

Round 1: 5 sc inside the ring, join with a sl st

Round 3: *Ch 2, 2 dc in the next st, ch 2, sl st in the next st* - repeat 4 times. Fasten off and weave in ends.
 

 

Just leave a long tail and weave through the inside of your hat to attach the flowers.

 

Enjoy!
