It's snowing hard and is very nasty out. Kids are home for the day from school and I am desperately waiting for a call from the hubby. He drives and delivers Coca Cola to stores and I haven't heard from him since early this morning. So I need a diversion and some thing QUICK fixed!

12 rounds! Great and realy quick.Plus looks good! Hope you hubby is o.k.
ReplyDeleteThanks! he got home late, and a little stressed, but just fine :)
ReplyDeletePretty hat. I think I will give it a go. We have been stuck at home all week with snow and ice. My kids and I are suffering from Cabin Fever and are really getting on each others nerves! I need a hooky escape!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and so quick! I did this hat up in no time and my 5 year old loves it! Glad your hubby made it home ok.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful patterns!
I hope your husband's ok! I understand that you worry!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and warm beanie...thanks for the pattern. Please feel free to enter my Giveaway - that'll give you something to do for 2 minutes ;-)
So pretty! Hope your husband was fine. I understand! My husband does custom farm jobs and is always out in this nasty weather and sometimes is in areas with no cell coverage. It's enough to drive a woman a little crazy. Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThis hat is so pretty and I am going to give it a go right after I finish crocheting a baby blanket. So glad your Hubby made it home safely and you are back to posting patterns again. They are easy to follow and work up quick.
ReplyDeleteLove the hat pattern...thanks for sharing and glad to hear your husband was okay! Phew!
ReplyDeleteThis is just the right look I have been searching for. I would like to crochet a heathered gray hat for a little girl across the street; she just turned one. For her, I'm going to attach a gigantic crocheted flower as well. Thanks for sharing your patterns and talent with us!
ReplyDeleteGlad you all liked it. Wasn't sure about posting it. :) Have lots of fun and happy hooking
ReplyDeletelove love love!
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone's feeling better! On rounds 5-8, do u keep going around, or slip stitch aT the end of each round

I love it! I will definitely be making a couple for my girls this winter.
ReplyDeleteI love this hat! Thank you for publishing your pattern. I am going to make two as gifts for my nieces this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern. I am going to make it as soon as I can get to the store and buy some yarn. My Granddaughter will love.
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted to make this hat for an adult, how would I increase the size?
ReplyDeleteIts very cute. I made it today... but it fits me instead of my niece, I must crochet big, it measures 22 inches round. What does yours measure?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great hat, but I needed the hat to fit an adult. I took a chance and added a round to duplicate round 4, and it worked very nicely. The adult pattern reads as follows:
ReplyDeleteRound 4: as written
Round 5: repeat round 4
Original rounds 5-8 now become rounds 6-9
Original rounds 9 & 10 now become rounds 10 & 11
Original round 11 becomes round 12
Original round 12 is your final round
I hope this helps all who want to make this for a teen or adult.
Again, GREAT pattern for child or adult!
I never crocheted a hat before, but am going to give this one a try. It doesn't look very hard. And is adorable.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to find your site. Thanks for the precious hat pattern! and thanks also to KHAdams for the adult sizing :):) There are so many nice crocheters in this world!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI knit and crochet and like making hats. Here in the Central Valley of CA we rarely need a warm hat or scarf. :(
But my husband and I have chosen to move to ND this June and are very much looking forward to snowy winters. It's been years for us both and we want to experience 4 distinct seasons again, including snow! So, I am looking forward to making more hats and even using wool and being able to use it!
Very cute and easy to whip up! Thanks I think I will put a cute flower on the side and my grand-daughter should love it!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I saw this on Ravelry & knew I had to make it for my 10 yo daughter. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I'm new to crotchet so bear with me if this is a silly question... how do you get a "double strand"? Do you use 2 skeins or do you roll a ball as double? Thanks
ReplyDeleteClaudia...double strand means using a strand of yarn from 2 balls at the same time.
ReplyDeleteGotta Make a few of these for Christmas this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this pattern- its great! Made several for kids, and adults.

We tried the pattern with a 5 bulky yarn, single strand. My daughter skipped round 2 and did round 3 twice. The had came out large and slouchy so she did a few extra rounds at the end to decrease making a band so it would fit. Looks nice and great for my daughter's first attempt at a hat but nothing like the one pictured here. I also did it using red heart supersaver size 3 yarn, single strand and ended up with a baby hat. So, depending on what yarn you use, this pattern can be quite versatile.
ReplyDeleteWhat is finished circumference? Love the look but need adult size
ReplyDeleteHow many chains would I start with to make a hat for a 3 year old?
ReplyDeletewould be 3 Helen
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Just made one this morning for my little girl's upcoming b-day! I am new to crocheting... Followed the pattern but made a few adjustments to make it fit my daughter's head better. Beautiful, simple pattern! Thank you so much for sharing! I plan to make more of these for another daughter, a son, and definitely for myself as well! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteHi VallieKids,
ReplyDeleteThanks 4 sharing this quick Beanie pattern, I am helping (Snappy Tots) on facebook reach thier goal of 600 Green & white beanie hats for the SANDY HOOK SCHOOL STUDENTS,,,,Operation Beanies for Brave Students,
but I do not understand this part of the pattern:
Rnd 9+10) ch3, working in front of ch3, dc in last st of previous round, * skip next st, dc in next st, working in front of dc, dc in skipped st, (this creates a cross stitch effect) repeat from * around, sl st to top of ch3.....HELP!
I got stuck there too :(
ReplyDeleteI love this hat! I have not been crocheting long and have taught myself (with help from the internet) :-) I also do not understand Rnd 9+10. Thanks for your help
ReplyDeleteSo on round 9 & 10, you chain three, then you work a double crochet into the stitch to the right of the chain three which is also the last stitch you did to finish the round. Then going back to the left of the chain three, which is the normal direction in which you crochet, you skip the next stitch and work a double crochet in the next, once you work the double crochet, work a double crochet in the stitch to the right of the just worked double crochet which is also the skipped stitch. You continue this same pattern around. It took me a couple of tries to figure this out but once you get it, it's really easy to do. Hope this helps!!
ReplyDeleteI love this hat so cute and easy. I love quick and easy!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do I print out the instructions without getting all the other stuff on the webpage? It looks like a great pattern!
