Slanted Shell Baby Beanies – 3 Sizes – Free Crochet Pattern

April 4, 2016

If you are a regular here, you know how much I love the Slanted Shell stitch pattern. How could I resist creating these sweet little Slanted Shell Baby Beanies?

Materials:
     – Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Deborah Norville’s Everyday Soft in Baby Pink, Mist (a Light Gray) and Royal Blue
     – I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook
     – #18 Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends

Material Notes:
     You will want to find a soft, acrylic or cotton yarn for babies.


With one skein, you should be able to make 3-5 hats. They only take a small amount.

Time Spent:
      I had all sizes done in roughly the same amount of time – about 45 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 5.25″ in diameter, a circumference of nearly 16.5″ to fit a head size of 17″ – 19″, and is 5.5″ in length.

*Stretch depends on your yarn brand selected. The Everyday Soft yarn has about an inch to an inch and a half, while a yarn such as Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn has about two inches worth.

Gauge:
With Everyday Soft and an I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook = 4″ x 4″:
     Chain 19, DC in the 4th chain, and in each stitch across. (16 DC)
     R2 – R8: Chain 2, turn. DC in the 2nd DC and in each DC across.
     Fasten Off.

Abbreviations:
     SC – Single Crochet
     DC – Double Crochet
     RS – Right Side of Piece

Pattern Notes:
     Join to the first stitch, not the beginning chain.

Beginning chain 2 in the crown does not count as a stitch.

Turning is only done through the slanted shell pattern. Watch for directions.

      I can’t get 30 dc in row 3 unless I count the ch 2. It says not to count chain but it looks like I have to. Can you help?

        The chain does not count in the crown, and the stitch count is correct. I think you may just be missing a stitch in the instructions – probably one of the first two, or the last.
