The Loopy Love Blanket was last week's free crochet pattern, and it includes 7 sizes. This week I'm sharing the Loopy Love Hat, which comes in 5 sizes to fit newborns to adults!
Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links; materials provided by Red Heart Yarns and Furls.
The Loopy Love Hat uses the same stitches as the Loopy Love Blanket, but working in the round without turning - this creates a lovely swirling effect! If you prefer a more exact match then you can turn after joining every round. After making the baby size blanket I had more than enough to make the baby/toddler size hat (though it was cutting it close on the color I used for the blanket edging). So there should be enough left over to make the smaller newborn size hat as well.
You might be able to squeak out the child size with the leftovers too, as long as you use the blanket edging color as the least used color in the hat. If you've got the yardage to spare and prefer a slouchier hat, just add more rows in the section where you're working evenly!

Janice
Hi Tamara! I'm itching to make this baby hat for a 3-months-old girl already! But I only have sock weight yarn with nice colours for it. Do you think I can simply go up a size and follow your pattern straight or I'll have to breakdown and recalculate the numer of stitches in each round? The number of rounds can be a work-as-I-go. Thanks!
Tamara Kelly
Hi Janice! You should be able to go up a size or two - basically, make the diameter about 5 inches across before you start working evenly around, and you should be all set!
Julie galvan
How tall is the teen/small adult size?
Tamara Kelly
8-10" depending on gauge.
Camille
I am loving on that crochet hook in the picture! Where did you get it?!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Camille! It's a Furls: http://furlscrochet.com/collections/crochet/products/handmade-wood-furls-crochet-hook-alpha-series#oid=1009_5 😀 It's a joy to use!
Rose Kute
ohhh I love this hat. Thank you
Tamara Kelly
😀 I'm so glad Rose! Thank you!
Milena-Irshad
Hi Tamara! I just want to ask about "Baby/ Toddler" - what that is mean - like 6-12 months or? I'm not sure.
Thank you in advance.
Carol
i prefer to use 4 weight yarn, how does that change the pattern?
Tamara Kelly
It will make them bigger! So you may need to follow the smaller directions to make the size you want. 🙂
Milena-Irshad
Dear Tamara, you can delete my previous question - i'v read carefully your instructions and understand - i make this wonderful hat! Thank you.
Tamara Kelly
😀 I'm so glad! Thank you!
Bernice
Good Evening,
I love this pattern. I would love to make it for myself in an adult size but I would like to use an amazing hand dyed sock yarn that I have. Its a super wash merino sock yarn... What would be your suggestion for this? Should I increase any particular row to make sure it fits me?
Thank you so much for your time.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Bernice! Sock yarn is thinner than light yarn usually, so I would bump up a hook size or two until I was able to get gauge with the yarn. 🙂
Barb
Love the hat, I can't wait to try it. Thank you
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you Barb!
Pat
I like this hat pattern. I have used it twice with worsted weight yarn and have found that for a teen/small adult size stopping the increasing size after the round with 18 ch-3 loops works and for a large adult size stopping the increase after the round with 21 ch-3 loops. I have noticed that the very top tends to stick up somewhat in a point when using worsted weight acrylic yarn; the second time I made a Loopy Love Hat I made some passes through the first two rows with the yarn end I was hiding anyway, and that helped minimize the "point!" 🙂
This is a good school/team colors pattern! I made this hat and a scarf from the Loopy Love Blanket pattern with the New Orleans Saints colors of black, old gold and white. Also made a two-color one with school colors of green and gold.
Thanks for sharing!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thanks so much Pat - and thanks for sharing the tips for worsted!!
vinodini
beautiful patterns, certainly try them. thanks a lot
Aleta
I love Moogly. If you knew how much I loved your site... It might be considered scary.
Thanks for having such a wonderful site.
Tamara Kelly
Hehheh 😀 Thanks so much Aleta!
Mary
Love this hat! Have made several. But for the Newborn hat, you need to put one extra dc in Round 14 in order to come out with 46 sts total at the end of the round. Following the instructions for Round 14 as is only gives you 45 sts total. There needs to be 46 so that the last two rounds of alternating fpdc and bpdc come out right.
DoNna
How do I start this hat if not using the Magic Circle technique? I have not tried that yet and prefer to start it the normal way. Than You
Tamara Kelly
Hi Donna! You can chain 4 and sl st in the first ch to form a ring, and then crochet into that ring. 🙂
Jolene
is the base supposed start as a triangle. I'm having a problem with the very start. It seem to have several stitches after the last dc. It looks like its missing another combination Thank you
Tamara Kelly
It is somewhat triangular at the start, yes! Using a stitch marker to mark your first st of each row can be a big help!
Carol kanter
Hi,
I LOVE THE LOOKS OF THIS & started, but got tangled up with all the yarns.
CAn you explain how to carry up the floats? I did this with another hat no problem, but this has got me stymied.
Tamara Kelly
You do have to move the skeins around a bit to keep the yarns from tangling. If it gets to crazy, you can always cut them too!
carrie guay
Will you maybe come up with a matching baby sweater and little shoes?
Tamara Kelly
I already have! 😀 Sweater: click here; booties: click here
tracie
when i completed this hat it had a point on top. i went EXACTLY by the pattern. What happened?
Tamara Kelly
Hi Tracie! It could be a tension issue. You could try lightly blocking it with water to reduce the pointiness!
tracie
i made a 2nd hat & it was less pointy. i tried to not work so tight & it looked much better. Thank you for replying
Tamara Kelly
😀 I'm glad to hear it! Thank you!
candora
I love this hat pattern. Thank you Tamara..:-)
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you Candora!
isabelle moss
Could you make a tutorial on this hat?:)
Tamara Kelly
Hi Isabelle! There is a tutorial for the stitch pattern, what part were you having trouble with?
lady J
thanks for this pattern! I made it for myself as a slouch hat with a thin yarn, just used a crochet hat sizing guide to make sure it fit. i used a 3.75 mm hook for yarn that called for a 3-3.5mm to get a lacier effect and went for as many rows as necessary to get it to be longer and slouchy ( i didn't count, just tried it on occasionally, then went down to a 3mm hook for the brim. thanks again, i love my new bright mustard hat!
Tamara Kelly
😀 I'm so glad to hear it, thank you!
Katy
How long does the small adult take to make?
Tamara Kelly
It depends on how quick a crocheter you are, but it shouldn't take more than a couple hours. 🙂
Jean
I am struggling with the joining of the rounds . It says to join with slip stitch to the ch-3, however, there is a sc that must be skipped over to do this, or am I reading it wrong?
Tamara Kelly
Yes, you skip over that sc. 🙂
Darcy Palmer
Dear Tamara,
Thank you so much for your patterns. I love them. Every one that I've made has come out great. I've made a least half of dozen Luscious One Skein hats, as well as matching scarves, boot cuffs and gloves. I just made a Loopy Love hat today and it's so cute!
Thanks again for sharing your patterns for free!!!!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you Darcy!
Sarah
Does this pattern come in a video form? I'm having a lot of trouble following these written instructions. No I am NOT a beginner. TIA
Tamara Kelly
Hello Sarah! There isn't a tutorial specifically for this pattern, but there is for the main stitch pattern: click here
SuZie
I have been crocheting for years but had never made anything other than simple double-crochet scarves. I told myself I had to branch out, and this was my first attempt at deciphering a pattern. I was nervous and had to look up most of the abbreviations, but to my supriprise, the hat came out beautifully! This was a lot of fun and I learned so much. The stitch count at the end of each step was a phenomenal help. Thank you so much!
Tamara Kelly
Hello Suzie! Yay! Oh I'm so glad to hear it! 😀 Thank you!
Faith Wheeler
I don't have one of the hooks you show, so can you use a regular hook instead. Faith Wheeler
Tamara Kelly
The type of hook used doesn't matter, you can make this pattern using whatever hook style and brand you prefer. 🙂
Elizabeth VanDyke
how can I get your site on my PC? I love your patterns and would like to print them, if possible
Tamara Kelly
Hello Elizabeth, and thank you! 😀 Downloading the whole site might not be a great idea for your computer memory, but you can download or print patterns using the green Print Friendly button that's right by the sharing buttons on the pattern above! Here's a tutorial: click here
Fran
Hi this might be a silly question but just finishing new born hat and it says round 15-16 is fpdc and bpdc. Do i do 2 rounds of this or one? As it says round 15-16. Thanks so much.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Fran! You do two rounds that are exactly the same. 🙂 So the fpdc sts should line up on top of each other, and same with the bpdc sts.
julie-dawn
I love the look of this hat but I'm new to crochet and anything I have made has been in DK so I would like to know if it would be ok to use, I know it sounds a daft question it's just I live in the UK and the weights of yarn are all different, it just confuses me
thanks
Tamara Kelly
Hello Julie-Dawn! This is in Sport weight, which is very very close to DK, so you should be fine! 🙂
maria cristina vera miranda
Mil gracias Tamara por compartir tus creaciones, admiro mucho tus tejidos. Me encanta el crochet, es mi pasión, es mi terapia.
Tamara Kelly
Muchas gracias! ♥
Becky
This hat and blanket are my absolute favorite! Is there a way to downsize the hat pattern to be a preemie size?
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Becky! There are a few different preemie sizes, but I'd recommend following the instructions through Rnd 4 and then jumping to the instructions for Rnd 7, and eliminate a few of the rnds worked even before jumping to Rnd 14-16 to finish. 🙂
