Baby Kisses-Crochet Baby Hat-Free Pattern

Introduction: This is a sweet little pattern for a boy or girl, and depending on which way you look at it, you can see an X shape or a Diamond shape, I can see the X shape and have therefore called the hat pattern, baby kisses xxx. The shape is formed by skipping a stitch, making 2 st's then coming back to work in the skipped st, the other half of the stitch is made similar, but you skip 2 st's, make a st, then come in from behind the st just made and make the 2 skipped st's, that way the elongated stitch stands out as a 3d effect and makes the X or the diamond.

Hook size: 4mm, US G/6

The Dragon Scale – Adult Hat – Free Crochet Pattern

 The Dragon Scale

Introduction: Whilst I was making this design and up to a second repeat of crocheting the pattern, I took some time to observe it closely and was not exactly pleased with the way it was looking. I turned it sideways and upside down and concluded that the pattern I was trying to make was not working out, it was quite by chance that I turned the hat inside out and discovered a whole new look, the wrong side looked great! So it was straight back to the pattern instructions to make it work. What is also great about this pattern are the instructions, they are so minimal. This design also reminds me of the crocodile stitch, but without the awkwardness of that particular stitch. Enjoy!

This is also available in newborn to 3 months, click here for the free pattern

 You can find the free pattern for the matching infinity cowl here

Hook size: 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5 mm to 5.0mm, US G/6

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

To fit: Adult

Yarn: 8 ply approx 100 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

Fpdc=front post double crochet

Special stitch: Shell st, (1 dc, 1 ch) x 6 times and 1 more dc in the same stitch

I’m using a 3.5 mm hook, my head circumference measures approx, 17 inches around after row 6. I will increase for 1 more round (row 7), to achieve my adult size hat, between, 18.5 and 21.5 inches circumference. In saying this, my stitch pattern is an 8 stitch repeat, I have either 4 st’s too many or 4 too less with the 84 dc count. I will work 1 more round and add 4 extra st’s spaced randomly apart.

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

BEGIN: Making the crown

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

You have the option to increase to 84 st’s (increase in every 6^th st) to 96 st’s, (increase in every 7^th st), for a lovely beret/slouch, but these extra st’s will need to be decreased, the best place to do this is within the very first round of the hat edging
