Half Pint requested a hat that was pink and blue and went ahead and made it early since she is doing so well in school.
Half Pint's Surprise!
You go baby girl!
What I did!
Small Child mini slouchie.
I got the yarn of my choice ( two different color skeins of Red Heart Super Saver) and a J hook. If I were making stripes then I would of course use the two different colors but if I were to make the hat in a solid color then I would use just the one skein. In this case I used two and alternated the colors on every row.
(I made color A red and color B blue.)
Round 1) Starting with color A ch4, sl st in beginning ch to make a loop. DC 10 times in Loop, slip st in beginning dc.
Round2) Ch2, dc in same stitch and 2dc in every st around, slip st beginning ch to join.
Round3) Ch2, dc in same stitch and in the next stitch, *2dc in next stitch, dc in next stitch* repeat from * all the way around, sl st in beginning ch
Round4) Ch2, dc in same stitch and in next two stitches, *2dc, dc in next two stitches* repeat from * all the way around, sl st in beginning ch.
Round5) Ch2, dc in same stitch and in the next three sttiches, *2dc, dc in the next three stitches* repeat from * sl st in beginning ch.
Round6) Ch2, dc in same stitch and in the next four stitches, *2dc, dc in the next four stitches*, repeat from* sl st in beginning ch.
Row7 - R18) ch2 dc in each dc around, sl st in beginning ch.
Row19 - Row20) (with color B)ch2, *fpdc, in first stitch, bpdc in next and repeat all the way around. sl st in beginning ch. Bind off!
.
Now the hat that I made the first time around came out a little bigger than expected for my daughter, so I went ahead and put a bobby pin on both sides of her hat to keep it from falling off during her play time. So if your work comes out to be a little big as well, then just ignore row 6 and continue from row 7 and on. I hope my extra notes helped but if you have any questions please feel free to message me:-D

Pretty hat! I made this hat but I modified the pattern a little so it wouldn't be too big for my daughters head. It turned out really cute.
ReplyDeleteAww I'm glad that your baby girls hat came out okay:-)I'm new at making my own patterns so hopefully I'll get the size down better my next time around!
DeleteHow big is your daughter's head?? Mine is 20" around, and she likes this hat, asked me to make it for her. So can you help me with the sizing issue before I start. I have never made a hat before.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters head was approximately 19 1/2 - 20 inches. The size of your daughters head sounds similar to my baby girls so if you want to make if you don't want to do an extra row of increasing then ignore row six and continue on to row 7.
DeleteThank you so much for this pattern! I'm a beginner and it was so easy to follow and I am thrilled with the finished product!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that the pattern was easy for you and I'm glad that your project came out so well:-D
DeleteHow would I go about making a smaller one for my two year old? Would I adjust the hook size and leave out a few rows? She keeps stealing sisters hat lol.
ReplyDeleteYes I would drop down a hook size and probably leave a row out. Just play around with it and have fun:-) Let me know how it comes out!
