Puppy Dog Hat
1-3 years, Double Crochet

You will need
· Worsted weight yarn
· scrap yarn in contrasting colors if you are adding trim, eyes, nose, or ears

Gauge= End of Round 2 = 2 ¾”

Thanks for using this pattern. I am still fairly new to crochet and even newer to writing up patterns so if you find an error kindly let me know. Chances are you have more crochet experience than I do.
This pattern is for a 12 month – 3 year old toddler hat in double crochet.

The photos shown, and pattern was created using

White Hat — I Love This Yarn acryclic  ( Red Heart Super Saver Café for ears and nose, Red Heart Super Saver Grey Heather for eyes and Red Heart Super Saver Light Blue for eye patch and contrasting trim)

Off White Hat — Red Heart Super Saver in “Soft White”, Cafe for ears and nose and Light Blue for eye patch.

These are heavier worsted weight yarns therefore if you are using a different weight yarn you may need to adjust your hook size and/or number of stitches.

For additional sizes, single crochet, half double crochet or are looking for different types of animal faces for hats please check this page on my website for updates: http://www.allyssite.com/crochet-animal-hats-index.html

HAT Pattern
Hat is crochet in a spiral (continuous rounds) meaning you will not join at the end of each round.  It is recommended you place a marker to keep track of your last stitch in each round.
Crown
Round 1- Chain 2 and double crochet 10 times into 2nd chain from hook or
if you are using magic circle make 10 dc in loop.
Round 2– Make 2 dc’s in each stitch. Place marker on last stitch
made. You should have 20 stitches
Round 3– *1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch* repeat
around (30 stitches total)
Round 4 –*1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch* repeat around (40 stitches total)
Round 5–*1 dc in each of the next 4 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch* repeat around (48 stitches total).  At the end of this round your circle should measure approximately  6″ across which will give you a hat 18.75 -19.25“
Rounds 6 – 11 (or until hat is approx 6 ½” long when measuring from top center to bottom.) Dc in each stitch around hat making sure to move marker with each completed row.
Leave marker in place –this will be the back center of your hat.
Do NOT cut yarn at end of rounds.
EARFLAPS
Rows:
Ss next 5 stitches. SS in next st, ch1. Sc in same stitch and in next 10 stitches. Ch 1 and turn. (11 sc)
Sc in each sc. Do not ch1. (11)
Sc in each sc. Do not ch1. (10)

Count 17 stitches across front of hat. In the 17th st attach yarn for 2nd ear flap by ss, ch1 and sc in that stitch. Sc in the next 10 dc. Ch1 and turn. (11 sc)
Repeat rows 2-12 of earlfap pattern above. Cut off yarn and weave in ends of both earflaps.

Trim- with contrast color of your choice, attach yarn with slip stitch behind right
ear. Ch 1, and sc around entire hat and earflaps. Cut yarn and
weave in loose ends.

To add a dog face to the crochet hat just crochet and sew on these embellishments. Because these animal hat patterns are for babies please make sure the eyes, ears, noses and other parts are securely sewn to your finished garment. Personally I would not recommend buttons for children under three.

Disclaimer – I am not a child safety expert nor am I providing guidance. My statements regarding safety are only my opinions as a mother and grandmother. By crocheting and adding these embellishments you claim full moral and legal responsibility for the outcome and safety of the hat you create.

Directions given are for sewing the embellishments on with yarn and a yarn needle. If a neat appearance on the inside of the hat is a big concern for you, you may find regular sewing thread to be more invisible. Additionally, I have found I prefer to place facial embellishments onto the front of the hat with a couple drops of fabric glue and let it completely dry before sewing the eyes and nose to the hat opposed to pinning them in place.

Puppy Dog Ears – floppy

Baby Beanie with Mouse Ears and a Bow

On my favorite animal hats page there is an adorable hat that was decorated up with mouse ears, a bow and polka dots and just screams “Minnie”.  The original pattern for the hat disappeared off the Internet and there are many comments from readers asking how to make one.

Over the weekend I hooked up this basic beanie and added embellishments.  The pattern used is free and Ravelry and she has great videos to help with sewing on the ears so they don’t flop over.

Easter Chick Hat

Easter Chick Hat
6-9 months

Ally and I found a great sale on Sugar n Cream cotton yarn early this week and I loaded up.  Thursday while waiting on hubby I thought I’d organize my stash dresser and thought to myself as I picked up the yellow cotton that it was the same color as a daffodil….and the same color as a baby chick.

Well that got the gears turning. “ A baby chick hat would be so cute…Brady could use a spring hat and cotton would be wonderful for that…Brady wears tons of blue and brown but he’s rarely if ever in yellow…is there any such thing as an Easter Chick hat?…I’ve never really done much with half double crochet besides a headband….I really could use some practice with hdc….who cares if there is a pattern, I don’t want to take time to look, I’ll just crochet a beannie and add a face to it….the chick’s mouth should be open like his is whenever he sees someone with food…this could be fun!”

I grabbed my hook and started crocheting.  Within 2 hours I had this cute little hat.

Thank goodness his mama liked it too :)

Here is the info and a link below it to save or print the pattern.  Sorry for the lack of quality in the photos.  If you follow my blog you will remember that a couple somebody’s in my house asked to borrow the camera and forgot to bring it back in the house before it rained so all my pics are with my cell or our ancient digital camera at this time.  It probably doesn’t matter any way though because Mister Brady is crawling and pulling himself into a standing position so he is always on the move and difficult for to grab a pic of.

________________________________

Gauge – 6hdc = 2″
Row gauge not important as you will measure length.

You will need:

  • Worsted weight cotton yarn
  • Optional scraps of white, black and orange for facial feature embellishments
  • 6.5 (US K) Crochet hook
  • Darning needle to weave in ends and/or attach optional facial feature embellishments

Crochet Owl Hat

Until I made my last post with the Monkey and Mouse hat patterns I did not realize this on had been sitting in my drafts. Ugg, I should quit using drafts ;)

I found this great forum for crocheters called Crochetville.  They have a board where you can publish your own original patterns and they board is loaded with awesome crochet ideas.  Although it is hard for me to spend much time there at this time of year I did save several posts to my favorites and look forward to after gardening season so I can spend more time there because the people are so helpful and the TALENT there!

This pattern was published in the free original crochet patterns board.  It is a crochet owl hat in toddler size but would, of course, be easy to make larger/smaller if desired.

Puppy Dog Hat Pattern

NEW - This hat pattern in toddler size >>>HERE

Crochet a Puppy Dog Animal Hat
0-3 months

Crochet Eyes, Ears and a nose to make a puppy dog hat.


 You will need

  • Worsted weight yarn
  • scrap yarn in contrasting colors for adding trim, eyes, nose, or ears
  • Size K crochet hook
  • Yarn needle to weave in ends.

 

This pattern is for a newborn sized hat in double crochet.  The finished hat is 13 1/2″ as opposed to many patterns you find for a 15″.  In my family this would be better suited for 0-3 months, which is different than newborn.  If you have a 6 or 7 pound baby you may want a hat a few stitches smaller. If you will in fact want a smaller hat so the baby can wear it home from the hospital, please check this page for a 6 or 7 lb baby hat.

If you would like additional sizes, single crochet, half double crochet or are looking for different types of animal faces for hats please check this page on my website for updates: http://www.allyssite.com/crochet-animal-hats-index.html

Froggy Hat

Posted on by

Baby’s Crochet Frog Hat

This tickled me. Apparently Ally has an acquaintance with a young lady who has a baby about Brady’s age. The friend saw his little Puppy Dog Hat that I made last week and asked if they made frog hats.

So what does Ally do? She dials me up and says “I have a hat order for you”. And then proceeds to tell me what colors out of my stash (my girls are always going thru my stash dresser–I think they are hoping to find a drawer full of yarn they haven’t seen before) would work beautifully.
Since I had taken notes when I made Brady’s hat a couple hours later I was looking at a cute little frog hat. I used my basic concept for the doggy eyes for the frog eyes but made them one round larger.

The pattern for this hat was inspired by Lion Brand’s Tweed Hat pattern @ http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L0026AD.html?noImages= except with even increases so the top wasn’t so pointy and I had to add a few extra rounds.  The yarn used is just Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in ‘Spring Green’ and my size K crochet hook .  I have since written my own pattern that is flatter on the top than this hat,  is written for worsted weight instead of bulky and uses a 6.5 mm hook instead of an N hook.
