Baby, Toddler & Child Crocheted Hat with Flower

by Retro Mummy

Pattern - Easy to make lovely hat for a Baby, Toddler or Child. Excellent for Beginners

The sizes are in two sections. Baby & Toddler is the first pattern and size 5 to teenager is below.

Sizes : baby (toddler, preschooler)

what you'll need

2 x 50g balls 8 ply wool

6.5mm hook for hat

scraps of wool for your flower

4mm hook for flower

Using 2 strands of wool (one from each ball), chain 5 (6,6) and with a slip stitch form a ring.

Round 1:

Chain 3 and then make 15 ( 17, 19 ) double crochet into your ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your first chain 3 (so basically your 3rd chain).

Round 2:

Chain 3 (this gives you the height of the round) then starting with your next stitch do 2 double crochet (if you're using aussie/UK terminology you call these trebles) into every stitch the whole way around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your first chain 3.

Rounds 3-6 :

Chain 3 and do 1 double crochet in each stitch the whole way around. Join with slip stitch to the top of your first chain 3.  For the preschooler hat or if its looking too short on your model/recipient/nearest child in sight then add another round or two of exactly the same so you end up with 7 or 8 rounds.  Cut wool and weave in ends.

Flower   Using the 4mm hook and one strand of wool, chain 5 and with a slip stitch form a ring.

Round 1 :                                                                                                                                    chain 3 and then do 20 double crochet (you might call these a treble) into the ring. Slip stitch to join to the top of the first chain 3.

Round 2:                                                                                                                                      chain 1 then single crochet in each double crochet of the previous round.

Round 3:                                                                                                                                    single crochet, *skip one stitch of previous round then 7 double crochet in the next stitch, skip one stitch then do a single crochet. Repeat from * until you reach your first single crochet and slip stitch to finish. Leave 50cm of wool, cut and pull through the loop on your hook. Attach your flower using a darning needle and the wool strand you left on the flower.

Big Girls Hat Pattern

Size: 5 upwards


What you'll need
2 x 100g balls of 8 ply wool
6.5mm crochet hook
scraps for flower
4mm hook for flower

Using 2 strands of wool (if you're using a bendigo 200g ball then pull out the end of the wool from the centre of the ball and you'll be using both ends of the ball).

We're going to chain 7 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring

Round 1 : chain 3 and then do 21 double crochet into the ring (now I'm using US terminology so if you're an aussie/UK crocheter you call my double a treble). Join with slip stitch to the top of the first chain 3.

Round 2: chain 3 (this gives you the height of the round) then into your next stitch you are going to do 2 double crochet in the top of the double crochet of the previous round. Repeat 2 double crochet the whole way around and join with slip stitch to the top of the first chain 3.
Round 3 to 8: chain 3 and then double crochet in the top of each double crochet of the previous round. Join with slip stitch to top of the first chain 3. Cut wool and pull through loop on your hook, then weave in with a wool/darning needle. If you need a longer hat (say for teenagers, then just add another round so you have a total of 9 rounds in your hat).


To make the flower:
Chain 5 and with a slip stitch form a ring.

Round 1 : chain 3 and then do 20 double crochet (you might call these a treble) into the ring. Slip stitch to join to the top of the first chain 3.

Round 2: chain 1 then single crochet in each double crochet of the previous round.

Round 3: single crochet, *skip one stitch of previous round then 7 double crochet in the next stitch, skip one stitch then do a single crochet. Repeat from * until you reach your first single crochet and slip stitch to finish. Leave 50cm of wool, cut and pull through the loop on your hook. Attach your flower using a darning needle and the wool strand you left on the flower.
