Materials:

• Less than 125 yards of Worsted Weight Yarn (per hat) – I like Hobby Lobby’s I Love this Yarn
• I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle

Yarn Alternatives:

Red Heart With Love, Red Heart Soft, Berroco Vintage (if no wool allergy present)

Time Spent:

I worked up the newborn size in just under 30 minutes, the 3-6 month size in just about 30 minutes and the 6-12 month size in just over 30 minutes.

Measurements:

The Newborn Size has a crown of 4.25″ in diameter, a circumference of nearly 13.5″ to fit a head size of 13″ – 14″, and is 5″ in length.

The 3-6 Month Size has a crown of 4.75″ in diameter, a circumference of nearly 15″ to fit a head size of 15″ – 16″, and is also 5″ in length.

The 6-12 Month Size has a crown of 5.5″ in diameter, a circumference of nearly 17.5″ to fit a head size of 17″ – 19″, and is 5.5″ in length.

Stretch depends on your yarn brand selected. The I Love This Yarn and Red Heart’s With Love have about two inches worth, while a yarn such as Deborah Norville’s Everyday Soft yarn has about an inch to an inch and a half, and Red Heart Super Saver is closer to an inch.

Gauge:

Check the crown diameter for your selected size, and compare it to the Measurements section.

Pattern Notes:

Join to the first stitch, not the beginning chain (unless otherwise directed).

Beginning chain 2 does not count as stitch unless otherwise stated.

To keep my seam straight, I work my increases a little different than most, and that is that the first stitch from the first set of increases is done in the first stitch of the round, which will appear just to left of the beginning chain, then the round will be worked as normal, and the final stitch of the round will be the second stitch of the first set of increases, and it will be worked into the same stitch as the first, and appear just to the right of the beginning chain. Check out my photo tutorial here: How to Keep a Straight Seam.

If you choose to work color changes (I didn’t) – work them in last part of stitch. For assistance, see my How to Change Colors in Crochet post.

If you are interested in making this a cloche like fit, subtract about 0.5″ from length.
