    Baby Mine Crochet Hat

    Published: Feb 13, 2014 · Modified: Sep 2, 2022 by Tamara Kelly · 29 Comments

    The Baby Mine Crochet Hat is the follow-up to the adult version! This year, it's time to add the baby, toddler, and child sizes! And since they're little, there's still time to whip one up for Valentine's Day - or any day!

    Crochet Hats for All!

    These hats are a little different from the adult version - in particular the brim. This brim has a lot more stretch! This way, the baby hat will fit almost all year! The toddler hat for the next couple of years, and the child version for a few years after that. This takes them up until they're ready for the adult version!

    They'll be slouchy at the start, and become beanies as the kids grow. (If you want to make the adult version with this brim, that works too. Just use the exact same stitch count!)

      Tamara, I might be remembering wrong....but it seems to me a while back you saw a skirt on a Pinterest that you really liked and there wasn't a pattern for it....if I am remembering correctly, here is a link for at least a partial schematic for that skirt: http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/ageeva_tania/post204470773/

      You always provide such a lift and inspiration.

      I am making mittens and hats for charities right now for toddlers, child, and teen sizes. I prefer working in a spiral from fingertips down to cuff, but a size chart would help no matter what the construction.

      Do you have a size chart that gives inches from the fingertips to thumb opening and from thumb bottom to cuff? I am never sure how many rows to make that will accommadate and be relative to the circumference. I don't want to make dozens of items that cannot be used.

      Thank you.

        Hi Maureen! Unfortunately Yarn Standards doesn't have hand measurements. In these cases, I find it's usually best to borrow a sizing chart from a manufacturer, and use that as a rough guide. This one seems like a good option: http://www.greencupboards.com/media/catalog/product/image/guava-kids/sizing-chart.jpg 🙂 Thank you for what you do!

      I seem to be having trouble. I made the child size and it seems very long, also my hearts arent as clean looking as yours. Do you have any pictures to show where those stitches on either side are supposed to go?

        Did you get gauge? The optional instructions at the end of Rnd 6 make a big difference! The photo above the child instructions is the best picture I have.

      Is it possible to work it top down? I'm terrible at bottom up 🙂 also how do you make this one for an adult? I like this pattern better.

        Hi Shannon! Unfortunately, working this pattern top down would result in upside down hearts! There is an adult version though: CLICK HERE

        Hello Claudia! This pattern begins with foundation stitches, which eliminate the need to use a starting chain. There is a link to the tutorial at the beginning of the pattern. 🙂

        Hello Jaggu! That is so much thinner, it's not a straightforward change. You would need to make a gauge swatch and convert the math.
