The Shy Butterfly-Baby Beanie-Free Crochet Pattern

The Shy Butterfly-Baby Beanie-Free Crochet Pattern

A decorative 15 row baby beanie

Introduction: If you look close enough you can see the butterflies hidden within the pattern, I think they are quite shy as they seem to vanish, then reappear where they choose to.

The pattern is quite easy, with lots of repeats.

I have made this pattern with a dc crown, so it works up quite quickly, a real time saver and a quick project for last minute gifts.

Tip for row 2, each group of 7 dc’s will have 1 cluster st worked into each dc. = 7 clusters.

Row 2, ch 1, (work 1 sc, ch 2, 1sc),  in same space as join, ch 1, work a cluster in each of the next 3 dc’s, ch 2, work 1 cluster in next dc, ch 2, work 1 cluster in each of the next 3 dc’s, ch 1, skip the ch 3, *work (1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc), in the next sc, ch 1, work a cluster in each of the next 3 dc’s, ch 2, work 1 cluster in next dc, ch 2, work 1 cluster in each of the next 3 dc’s, ch 1, skip the ch 3*, repeat from *to* to end, sl st into the ch 2 space between the sc’s

Row 7, repeat row 3

My hat is now approx 5 inches in length, I am going to stop the pattern sequence and add a rib edge. If you like the look of the scallop edge, do a few more pattern rows for length desired, finishing on a row with the 7 dc groups.

Begin Simple Rib Hat Edge

Row 1, ch 2, work 1 dc in same space as join, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, work 2 dc in the next ch space, work 1 dc in the sc, work 2 dc in the next ch space, *work 1 dc in each of the next 7 dc, work 2 dc in the next ch space, work 1 dc in the sc, work 2 dc in the next ch space*, repeat from *to* to end, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, sl to join in the 1^st dc of this round, (48 dc)

Row 3, repeat row 2, (you can also make your hat longer if you to choose to)

I like to finish my hats  with 1 round of 1 hdc in each st to end, this can prevent curling/stretching of the hat edge.

Row 4, ch 1, work 1 hdc in each st to end, sl st to join in beginning hdc, tie off and sew in ends

Little Petals-Baby Beanie-Free Crochet Pattern

Little Petals-Baby Beanie-Free Crochet Pattern

 A decorative 20 row baby beanie

Introduction: This pattern resembles the petals of a flower. You will work 1 row of shell st’s with a sc in between each shell st. The next row consists of, the fpdc, some chain st’s and sc’s. If you are confident with these st’s you will have no problem making these decorative flower petals. The pattern does tend to firm up a bit, so I would suggest to go up, half a hook size when working the pattern rows.

This pattern is an 8 stitch repeat; it can be used with 48, 64, 72, stitch count.

To fit: Newborn

Measurements approx: Head Circumference 13 inches, hat height approx 5.5 inches

My hat is measuring approx 5 inches long and I am ready to do the hat edge, in saying that I think the hat looks pretty ending on a shell stitch row, you can choose to finish on a shell stitch row at the desired length of the hat you need (just continue pattern sequence), or use the following instructions for a simple rib edging for the hat.

Begin Hat Edge (reduce hook size)

Row 1, ch 2, work 2 sc in same space as join, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, *work 1 dc in the sc, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, work 1 hdc in the ch 3 space, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc,* repeat from *to* to end,  work 1 dc in the final sc of this round, sl st to the top of the ch 2, (54 st’s + 1 ch 2, if you started with 56 hdc’s).

Once again you can finish your hat here or go on to the next rounds

Row 2, ch 2,*work 1 dc in next st, work 1 fpdc around the next st*, repeat from *to* to end, sl st into top of ch 2

My hat is long enough now, but if you want yours longer, 

repeat row 2

I am going to finish off my hat with 1 more row.

By working 1 ch, then 1 hdc in each stitch of the round, sl st to join finish off and weave in ends

(This last hdc row can prevent curling/stretching of the hat edge).

Little Wraps-Baby Beanie-Free Crochet Pattern

Little Wraps-Baby Beanie

free crochet pattern

A decorative 17 row baby beanie 

 Firstly I would like to thank the pattern testers- Thank you!

 

Made by Robyn  McKeague

 Made by Lisa O'Connor

 Made by Claire Leivers

Introduction: This free crochet pattern looks intimidating, but don’t be dismayed, it’s just a trick with the yarn. Imagine 3 dc’s standing in a row, and then wrapping them 3 times around with hook and yarn, done! This wrapping technique then turns sideways all by its self, now why didn’t I think of that? Each wrap is separated with a simple V stitch, which gives a very uniformed and attractive design.

The entire pattern is achieved over only 2 rows, making it repetitive and easy to follow.

To fit: Newborn to 3 Months

Measurements approx: Head Circumference 13 to 14 inches, hat height 5.5 to 6 inches

Please note, by using a smaller or larger hook, you can make a smaller or larger beanie

Hook size: 3.5mm for newborn 4.00mm for 3 months+ US G/6

Yarn: 8 ply approx 50 gm’s US DK/Medium.

US crochet terms used

Skill level: beginner ++

Tension: medium

Time: approx 2 hours

Stitches used:

Sl st=slip stitch

Ch=chain

Sc = single crochet

Hdc= half double crochet

Dc =double crochet

Fphdc = front post hdc

Fpdc=front post double crochet

V st= (dc, ch 1, dc)

Wrap st = see special st

  

 Special stitch: We’ll call this wrap st in the pattern. Once you have your 3 dc’s in a row, you will then need to do your wrap this way. 

Coming from the front of your work, yo hook, place hook into the space before your 1^st dc, go around the back of all 3 dc’s, pull up a loop and come back out of the same place you went into, (3 loops on hook), repeat this 2 more times, (2^nd time 5 loops on hook, 3^rd time, 7 loops on hook)

yo over 1 more time and pull through all loops on hook, done!

V stitch: The V stitch is (1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc), on the first row of the pattern this is worked into a 1 dc, on every other row of the pattern, the V stitch is worked into the ch 1 space of the V stitch, the dc’s on either sides of the V stitch will not be worked into, unless stated otherwise

Please note! The beginning ch 1 and ch 2 of every rnd is not counted as a st.

BEGIN:

Chain 4, sl st to first ch to form a ring. Or use a magic ring.

Rows 9 and 10 form the pattern repeats

Row 10, ch 2, work 1 dc in same space as join, skip 1 st, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 st’s, work the wrap around the 3 dc’s just made, , work a V st into the ch 1 space of the V st, * skip 1 st, (please note the st you are skipping is not the st that makes the v, it’s the st after that one) work 1 dc in each of the next 3 st’s, work the wrap around the 3 dc’s just made, work a V st into the ch 1 space of the V st,* repeat from *to* to end, to join, sl st into the 1^st dc of this rnd (8 sets of wrap st, 8 sets of V st)

Row 2, ch 1, work 1hdc in same space as join, work 1 hdc into each hdc to the end, sl st to join and finish off leaving a long enough tail to sew in and hide your ends.

My testers have said that they made their hat larger just by using larger hooks.

Made by Robyn  McKeague with a bow
Robyns Bow Pattern

Start of by making a Slip Knot, then crochet 40 Chains.
Row 1~ Chain 2, skip 2 chains from your hook, then crochet Half Double Crochets all across into every chain.
Row 2 ~ Chain 2, half double crochet into every stitch across.
Row 3 ~ Change color. Chain 2, half double crochet into every stitch across.
Row 4-5 ~ Chain 2, half double crochet into every stitch across.
When you've completed all the rows, connect the two ends of the bow band together to create a circle and Slip Stitch them together.
Once you've slip stitched the ends together, flip the slip stitched part to the inside and fasten your yarn off. You don't want to trim your yarn less than 55"/140cm because you need a long enough tail to wrap around your bow.
Start of by slowly yet tightly wrapping the yarn around the center of the bow. You need to wrap it around the bow at least 15 times. When you've finished wrapping, knot it to the back of the bow.

You can use any combination of colors. This bow is for a 9 month old hat.
