Not too long ago I shared my free crochet pattern for the Slanted Shell Baby Beanies (in 3 baby sizes) with you. I am working on a few other items to go along with that, but I got a little side tracked so I thought why not add the larger sizes to the collection for now.
Materials:
– Less than half a skein each of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in Rosy Cheeks [Pink], Hot Rose [Pink], and Purple
– I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook
– #18 Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
Material Notes:
With one skein, you will be able to make at least two adult sized hats.
Time Spent:
I had all sizes done in roughly the same amount of time – an hour to an hour and a quarter.
Measurements:
The Toddler Size has a crown of 5.75″ in diameter, a circumference of 18″ to fit a head size of 18-20″, and is 6.5″ in length.
The Child Size has a crown of 6.25″ in diameter, a circumference of nearly 19.75″ to fit a head size of 20-22″, and is 7″ in length.
The Teen/Adult Small Size has a crown of 6.75″ in diameter, a circumference of nearly 21.25″ to fit a head size of 22-23″, and is 7.75″ in length for cloche-like & 8.5″ in length for regular beanie.
*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 I Love This Yarn and an I9/5.5mm Hook = 4″ x 4″
Chain 16, DC in the 4th stitch, and in each stitch across. (14 DC)
R2 – R8: Chain 2, turn. DC in the 2nd stitch, and each stitch 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.
For Adult Size, there are two different lengths. The cloche-like length is shown with the regular length in parentheses.
My head measures 21.25″, and I usually wear a child’s size (hehe). With this stitch pattern, I did find the hat to be a little tighter than a regular beanie, but I still felt comfortable in a child’s size with adult length. It is best to measure your head before beginning.
