  Rochelle’s Pretty Purple Chick Beanie Hat Free Crochet Pattern

This hat was designed for one of amazing Juvenile Arthritis kids mother, Rochelle, who also has Autoimmune Arthritis. When she heard I was making our walk team Chick hats to wear she was a bit bummed as she is a part of her son’s arthritis walk team Parker’s Purple Playas.  So this pretty purple chick designed was created to bring together the RA Chicks chick idea with Parker’s purple. I even topped her off with an arthritis awareness blue bow. Of course you can feel free to switch up the colors to whatever you like but I had to share the instruction for arthritis awareness since I’m a health activist for Autoimmune Arthritis. :)

Pattern Instructions:
*Note: This project is worked in the round on the base of a magic ring. If you do not know how to do this, please see tutorial here from: yarntomato on CrochetMe

The hat in this picture is made with my free Easy Peas Pre-Teen / Teen / Women Double Crochet Beanie Pattern, which you can find  here as a foundation for the projectWant it in another size? No worries. Head over to Easy Peasy All Family Sizes Free Double Crochet Beanie Patterns to select the size of the free pattern you want for your project.

Hat Base: in main color purple yarn
Use Easy Peasy Crochet Beanie Size of your choice
Once you have completed your beanie for the base you are ready to start on making your pretty purple chick hat. :)
First we are going to add a simple lighter purple contrast trim to the beanie base. Taking your contrast color yarn, attach with a sl st where you left off at last round of your beanie.  Ch 1 before placing 1 sc in 1st st and 1 sc in each st around.  Sl st in top of 1st st in round and fasten off.

Feathered Hair on top of hat: using lighter purple yarn 
Ch 10, sl st in to last ch from hook. Ch 15, sl st back in to the ch you just worked ch from. Ch 10 and sl st back into starting ch.
Leave a long enough tail to secure your hair feathers on top of the beanie during assembly, before cutting yarn and pulling through. Now place this to the side until finishing steps.

Eye Pupils (Make 2): using black yarn
Round 1:  In magic circle, ch 2 before placing  8 hdc in to the circle. Pull circle tightly closed. Sl st in to the top of 1st st in round. (8 hdc)
Leave a long enough yarn tail to be able to sew your eye pupil in place on eye white during finishing steps before cutting yarn. Sit to side until needed.
Repeat process for second eye pupil.

*This eye pupil will work well on toddler to adult sized hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, your pupil will be as follows instead of Round 1 above:
Round 1:  In magic circle, ch 1 before placing 4 sc in to the circle. Pull circle tightly closed. Sl st in to the top of 1st st in round. (4 sc)

Eye Whites (Make 2): using white yarn
Round 1:  In magic circle, ch 2 before placing  12 dc in to the circle. Pull circle tightly closed. Sl st in to the top of 1st st in round. (12 dc)
Leave a long enough yarn tail to be able to sew your eye whites directly on to the beanie during hat assembly.
Repeat process for second eye.

*This eye white design will work well on toddler to adult sized beanie hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, you will work 10 hdc instead of 12 dc in to your circle in Round 1.

Beak: using orange yarn
Round 1:  In magic circle, ch 2 before placing 10 hdc in circle. Pull circle closed and sl st in top of 1st st in round. (10 hdc)
Round 2: Ch 1 before placing 1 sc in 2nd st, leaving 1st st unworked, place 1 sc in next 3 st, sl st in next st, stopping here and leaving rest of st unworked. (4 sc)
Make sure you leave a yarn tail long enough to be able to sew your beak in place on beanie before cutting yarn, pulling through and putting to side until needed in assembly stage.

*This beak will work on toddler through adult sized hats.  For newborn to 12 month sized hats, do the following:
Round 1:  In magic circle, ch 1 before placing 8 sc in circle. Pull circle closed and sl st in top of 1st st in round. (8 sc)
Round 2: Sl st in 2nd st, leaving 1st st unworked, ch 1 place 1 sc in next  st, ch 1 before sl st in next st, stopping here and leaving rest of st unworked.

Bow:  using arthritis awareness blue yarn
Row 1: Ch 14, work 1 dc in the 3rd ch from hook (first 2 ch does not count as st throughout pattern) and place 1 dc in each of the following 11 ch.  Ch 2 and turn. (12 dc)
Row 2: Make 1 dc in 1st st and place 1 dc in each of the following 11 st across. Ch 2 and turn. (12 dc)
Row 3: Make 1 dc in 1st st and 1 dc in each of the following st across. Ch 1 and turn. (12 dc)
Row 4: Work a round of 1 sc in each st, 3 sc in each corner to give a more rounded appearance, completely around the perimeter of your bow piece. Sl st in to the top of the 1st st once you have worked it all the way around.
Make sure you leave a long enough tail to secure your bow in place on the beanie hat during finishing off steps.

*This size bow will work great on toddler through adult sized hats.  For newborn to 12 month sized hats, do the following:
 Row 1: Ch 10, work 1 hdc in the 3rd ch from hook (first 2 ch does not count as st throughout pattern) and place 1 hdc in each of the following 7 ch.  Ch 2 and turn. (8 hdc)
Row 2: Make 1 hdc in 1st st and place 1 hdc in each of the following 7 st across. Ch 2 and turn. (8 hdc)
Row 3: Make 1 hdc in 1st st and 1 hdc in each of the following st across. Ch 1 and turn. (8 hdc)

Row 4: Work a round of 1 sc in each st, 3 sc in each corner to give a more rounded appearance, completely around the perimeter of your bow piece. Sl st in to the top of the 1st st once you have worked it all the way around. 

Rochelle's Pretty Purple Chick Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Closeup on feature details

Finishing off:
Starting from the bottom up, use the tail left on the orange beak and your yarn needle to sew your Chick’s beak in place on beanie hat.  You can reference my pictures on how I placed mine. Once your beak is fully secured,  pull your yarn to inside of hat before finishing off.
Using tail on one black eye pupil and needle, sew it in place securely on top of an eye white.  Once secure, pull yarn to back of eye then fasten off.  Repeat this process for second eye.
Now you want to use the tail from one assembled eye and your yarn needle to sew one eye in to the proper place on beanie. You can reference my pictures as to where I placed them on my hat.  Once sewn on, pull yarn to inside of hat and finish off.  Now go ahead and repeat this process for second eye.
Next take the tail left on your blue hair bow for Chick hat and your yarn needle to sew in to your desired location on hat. Again you can reference my pictures on where I placed my own.  I like to fold the center of my bows in half and place a few back / forth stitches to help them retain that shape before sewing it on to my location.  I like how the bows look when narrowed in the center but that is totally optional and up to your own preferences.
Using tail left on your feathered “hair” you made earlier, secure it in to place on the top of your chick hat.  I centered mine on the center of the original round on the beanie but feel free to play around with where you want to place yours.  Once you have sewn it in place, pull yarn to inside of beanie and fasten off.
Now check over your crochet project for any tails or ends that you may have missed throughout assembly process to weave in and finish off. Do so if you find any.

Here are some pictures to show how the completed Purple Chick hat looks like worn from different angles once you are all done:

The Flash Superhero Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

Finishing off:
Before attaching anything to the hat directly we are going to put together the logo in one piece so that when we fasten off any undesirable ends are hidden between logo circle and beanie. :)
Taking the tail left on the thunderbolt center it on your white logo circle then use your yarn needle to secure it in place.  Once secure pull the yarn through to the back before fastening off.  (You can reference the logo picture and pictures of my own completed hat to see where I placed mine.)
Now using the tail left on the assembled logo from step before and your yarn needle, sew the piece onto the desired location on the front of the hat.  (You can reference my pictures to see how I placed my own.)
Check for any tails or ends that you may have missed in process to weave in and finish off. Do so if you find any. Then you are all done.

Mario and Luigi Beanie Hats Free Crochet Pattern

Growing up as a kid in the 80’s (shhh don’t tell anyone how old this geek is getting) I fell in love with the Mario brothers on first sight. I probably spent several hundred hours playing their games as they came out.  It was always a favorite of mine so I thought I would make these Mario and Luigi inspired beanies for my nephews to wear and went on to make a Yoshi hat that I will add to my blog soon for the third nephew to wear to be a part of the fun. :)

These are super easy for beginners to make and a fun but quick project. Go for it!

Round 2:  Ch 2 before placing 2 dc in first st and 3 dc in the next 9 st. Sl st in top of 1st st in round. (20 dc)
Round 3: Ch 1 before placing *2 sc in 1st st and 1 sc in following st*  repeat the pattern of * around through last st.  Sl st to the top of the 1st st in round. (30 sc)

*For toddler sized hats, switch round 2 to hdc instead of dc.
*For newborn to 12 month sized hats, switch rounds 1 and 2 to hdc instead of dc.

Mario “M” letter for logo: using red yarn
Make a ch of 24 . Leave a long enough yarn tail to be able to sew this chain on to your logo circle in the shape of the letter “M” during finishing off stage, before cutting yarn and pulling through stitch.
*For toddler sized hats, make a chain of 20 instead of 24.
*For newborn to 12 month sized hats, make a chain of 16 instead of 24.

Finishing off:
Mario Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Closeup View of Details
For Mario Hat:
Using the red yarn tail left on the ch for your letter “M” from before and your yarn needle, sew the piece onto the desired place in the front center of your logo circle in to the shape of the letter “M”.  (You can reference my pictures to see how I placed my own.) Once secure, pull yarn to the back of your logo circle before fastening off. Skip down to instructions for both hats.

Luigi Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Closeup on Details

For Luigi Hat:
Using the red yarn tail left on the ch for your letter “M” from before and your yarn needle, sew the piece onto the desired place in the front center of your logo circle in to the shape of the letter “M”.  (You can reference my pictures to see how I placed my own.) Once secure, pull yarn to the back of your logo circle before fastening off. Now work on following pattern directions for both hats.

For Both hats:
Take the tail from your assembled logo in previous steps and your yarn needle to sew the logo on the front of your beanie hat in desired location. You can see where I placed the ones for my hats in the pictures for this post.  I find that leaving one or two of the last rounds of dc in your hat base below the bottom of the logo gives it a nice distance to show off the contrast trim and not be so high up that you can’t see it when looking at it worn straight on. Once you have the logo sew securely in place, pull your yarn to the inside of the beanie behind the logo before fastening off.
Now check for any tails or ends that you may have missed in process to weave in and finish off. Do so if you find any. You should be all done now!

  Blue’s Clues Puppy Character Beanie Hat Free Crochet Pattern

Do you know a Blue’s Clues fan?  This hat was designed for my Mom to wear in reading time for her class.  She’s a teacher of very young students and they all love her hats to match the different books.  Blue is such a cute animated puppy and I think Blue looks good in crochet.  You can learn more about Blue’s Clues or watch the television show episodes online here.

The hat in pictures is done with the teen / women’s size of the Easy Peasy Double Crochet beanie family pattern but instructions for scaling down features for infants are included. As always my patterns are free and I would love to see how yours turn out!  The only part I found tricky was the nose until I got the design down so I think advanced beginner and up for suggested experience level for this pattern.

Blues Clues Puppy Character Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Worn

Pattern Instructions:
*Note: This project is worked in the round on the base of a magic ring. If you do not know how to do this, please see tutorial here from: yarntomato on CrochetMe
The hat in this picture is made with my free Easy Peas Pre-Teen / Teen / Women Double Crochet Beanie Pattern, which you can find  here as a foundation for the projectWant it in another size? No worries. Head over to Easy Peasy All Family Sizes Free Double Crochet Beanie Patterns to select the size of the free pattern you want for your project.

Hat Base: in main color lighter blue yarn
Use Easy Peasy Crochet Beanie Size of your choice
Once you have completed your beanie for the base you are ready to start on making your Blue’s Clues hat!

Spot Circles (Make 6): using darker blue yarn
Round 1:  In magic circle, ch 2 before placing 12 dc in to the circle. Pull circle tightly closed. Sl st in to the top of 1st st in round. (12 dc)
Leave a long enough yarn tail to be able to sew your spot in place on your beanie hat during finishing steps.  Cut yarn to desired length before pulling through. Set to side until needed for assembly.
Repeat steps above for the rest of the spots needed for pattern.
*For newborn to 12 month sized hats, make 8 hdc instead of 12 dc for spot circles.

Nose: using darker blue yarn
Round 1:  In magic circle, ch 2 before placing  4 sc in to the circle. Do not pull circle closed. Ch 1 and turn. (4 sc)
Round 2: Place 3 sc in 1st st, (2 hdc and 1 dc) in 2nd st, (1 dc and 2 hdc) in 3rd st, 3 sc in last st. Sl st back in to circle. (12 st total)
Round 3: Ch 1 before placing 1 hdc in to the circle, ch 1 and then sl st back in to circle. (This will be the bottom part of the nose between nostril openings.)
Leave a long enough yarn tail to be able to sew the nose securely in place before cutting yarn and pulling it through. Place to side until nose is needed in finishing process.
*For newborn to 12 month sized hats, you will change Round 2 to the following: Place 2 sc in 1st st, 2 hdc in 2nd st, 2 hdc in 3rd st, 2 sc in last st
*For newborn hats, I recommend switching to a smaller hook, like “h” hook, to scale down the size of nose even more.

Eye Pupils (Make 2): using black yarn
Round 1:  In magic circle, ch 1 before placing  4 sc in to the circle. Pull circle tightly closed. Sl st in to the top of 1st st in round. (4 sc)
Leave a long enough yarn tail to be able to sew your eye pupil in place on eye white during finishing steps before cutting yarn. Sit to side until needed.
Repeat process for second eye pupil.
*For newborn to 12 month sized hats, your pupil will be 2 sc and ch 1 before making a sl st to bridge gap when pulling circle closed.

Eye Whites (Make 2): using white yarn
Round 1:  In magic circle, ch 1 before placing the following st  in to the circle in this order: 2 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 3 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc before pulling circle closed.  Sl st in to the top of 1st st in round.  (12 st total)
Leave a long enough yarn tail to be able to sew your eye whites directly on to the beanie during hat assembly.
Repeat process for second eye.
*For newborn to 12 month sized hats, you will work the st in this order: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 2 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 sc. Sl st closed. (9 st total)

Ear Front (Make 2): using main color lighter blue yarn
Row 1: Ch 7. Place 1 dc in 3rd ch from hook and 1 dc in each of the following 4 ch. Ch 2 and turn. (5 dc)
Row 2: Make 2 dc in 1st st in row, 1 dc in each of the next 3 st and 2 dc in last st. Ch 2 and turn.  (7 dc)
Row 3-6: Place 1 dc in 1st st in row and in each st across. Ch 2 and turn. (7 dc)
Row 7: Place 1 dc in 2nd st in row leaving 1st st unworked and 1 dc in each of following 5 st. Ch 2 and turn. (6 dc)
Row 8: Place 1 dc in 2nd st in row leaving 1st st unworked and 1 dc in each of following 4 st. Ch 2 and turn.(5 dc)
Row 9: Work 1 dc in each st in row across. (5 dc)  Fasten off.
Repeat process for second puppy ear.
*For newborn to 12 month sizes,  switch to hdc for the whole ear pattern instead of dc. This will scale it down to a proper size for these hats.

Ear Back (Make 2): using main color lighter blue yarn
Repeat instructions for Rows 1-9 of the Ear Fronts but do not fasten off at the end of Row 9.  Ch 1 and turn.
Row 10: Place a finished Ear Front in front of the Ear Back you are working on, lining up the st.  ( I like to use safety pins to mark the ends of mine so I don’t have to stop and keep checking to see if they line up as I can be a bit OCD about that kind of thing. 😉 but it is not a necessary step.)  Now work a round of 1 sc in each st around perimeter of Blue’s ear. When you reach the bottom of ear you can make 2 sc in each of the 3 bottom st to give it a nice rounded appearance like I have in my picture. Make sure you leave a tail that is long enough to secure the ear in place on the beanie hat during assembly before cutting yarn and placing to side.
Repeat process for second ear for Blue.

Finishing off:
Starting from the bottom up, use the tail left on your nose and yarn needle to sew your nose in place on beanie hat.  You can reference my pictures on how I placed mine. Once your nose is fully secured,  pull your yarn to inside of hat before finishing off.
Next take the tail left over from one of the spots circles and sew it in place as indicated in clipart and my own pictures. Once securely in place, pull yarn to inside before fastening off. Now repeat this process for the rest of the puppy spot circles.
Using tail on one black eye pupil and needle, sew it in place securely on top of an eye white. I centered mine on the eye white. Once secure, pull yarn to back of eye then fasten off.  Repeat this process for second eye.
Now you want to use the tail from one assembled eye and your yarn needle to sew one eye in to the proper place on beanie. You can reference my pictures as to where I placed them on my Blue’s Clues hat.   Once sewn on, pull yarn to inside of hat and finish off.  Now go ahead and repeat this process for second eye.
Next using the tail left behind on one of the Blue’s Clues ear, use your needle to secure the ear to the side top area of the beanie in desired location with the contrast on hat. (You can see my pictures for where I placed my own.)  If you want longer hanging ears place lower on side of beanie. For shorter ones, place higher up on beanie hat.  Once you have it in place, pull your yarn in to the inside of the beanie before finishing off any extra length.  Repeat this process for the second ear.
Now check over your crochet project for any tails or ends that you may have missed throughout assembly process to weave in and finish off. Do so if you find any.

Here are some pictures to show how the completed Blue’s Clues character hat looks like worn from different angles once you are all done:

How could I not love Yoshi from Super Mario Brothers?  I think he is adorable so I thought I would try to make him into a crochet hat for my nephews to go with the Mario and Luigi beanie hats I made them previously.  You can see them here.

This was a fun project to make for them and I fell in love with the hat by the time it was finished. I have a feeling I will have to make more or the three of them will fight over who can wear Yoshi. :)

Make sure you leave a long enough tail to secure your spike to the crocheted hat when finished!
Leave an extra long tail in order to sew this on very securely so they don’t flop around.

Finishing off:

Nose assembly:
Using your tail left on one of the nostrils and your yarn needle, sew nostril in place on front of the Nose/ Snout front piece. Once secure, pull yarn to inside of snout piece and fasten off.  Repeat process with second nostril. Next use the tail left for your smile chain and needle to sew the smile in place on Nose/Snout front piece in desired location. You can reference my pictures to see where I placed my own.  Once you have it fully sewn in place, pull yarn to inside and fasten off. Now you are going to attach the nose back to nose/snout front piece by lining the nose back up to the opening on the back of the nose / snout.  You want to stop about 2/3 of the way around to stuff with your fiberfill stuffing as you sew it around. Once you have it assembled, use leftover tail from assembled nose/snout to sew in place on front of your beanie hat. Once it is secured, pull yarn to the inside of the beanie and fasten off.

Next you want to use the tail left on on of the white cheek areas and yarn needle to sew white cheek areas in place on each side of attached snout lining up white white contrast trim.  Once in place, pull yarn to inside of beanie hat and finish off.

Eye assembly:
Taking tail on one of the eye pupils, sew pupil directly on to eye white area in desired location. Once the pupil is attached, pull yarn to back of eye before fastening off. Repeat for second pupil.
Now you take the assembled eyes and place them  just above the nose/snout.You can see my pictures to see how I placed mine. I put mine right against the top of the nose/snout.  You will use the white yarn tail left on eye whites with your yarn needle to sew them in to place. Once your eyes are secure, pull yarn to inside of the Yoshi hat and fasten off.

The last step is to attach Yoshi’s red spikes to center of back of the head near the bottom (see pictures for placement of mine) to represent the spikes that run down his back.  To attach them, take your yarn needle and using a tail left on one of the spikes, sew it into desired place.  Once you have it sewn in place, pull yarn to inside of hat before fastening off. Repeat this process for the second spike.
Now take a look over your assembled hat, checking for any loose ends or tails you did not fasten off yet. If you find any go ahead do so now.  All done!

Here are a few of the pictures I took to show how this Yoshi hat looks from different directions when completed:

Chococat the Black Cat Character Hat Free Crochet Pattern

I made up this crochet pattern for my future stepdaughter.  This is Chococat from Hello Kitty’s world, Sanrio.  I think this kitty translated pretty well to crochet. I almost didn’t want to let this black cat hat go.. My friends all raved over how it turned out and I’ve had several requests to make additional copies for them so I will take that as a good sign.

It’s a fun but quick crochet project that can be done in one afternoon.  Learn more about the character Chococat here.

Once you have secured it in place, pull your yarn in to the inside of the beanie before finishing off extra length.  Repeat this process for the second ear.

Captain America Superhero Beanie Hat Free Crochet Pattern

Who is Captain America?  If you are a superhero fan or have one in your life then you more than likely know something about good old Captain.  He has been around since the early 1940’s thanks to Marvel comics.  You can learn more about him here.

This is a fun and quick project to make for a last minute gift or costume.  The A can be a bit tricky for beginners but I tried to make it as clear as possible.  I would recommend for advanced beginner and up but most should be able to do.  This is another one of the hats in my superhero beanie hat collection that I designed and crocheted for my nephews to wear. :)

Captain America Superhero Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Front View

Pattern Instructions:
*Note: This project is worked in the round on the base of a magic ring. If you do not know how to do this, please see tutorial here from: yarntomato on CrochetMe

The hat in this picture is made with my Easy Peasy Youth Sized (Age 3-10 years old) Double Crochet Beanie  Hat Pattern which you can find  here as a foundation for the project.  Want it in another size? No worries. Head over to Easy Peasy All Family Sizes Free Double Crochet Beanie Patterns to select the size you want for your project.

Hat Base:

Use Easy Peasy Crochet Beanie Size of your choice

Once you have completed your beanie for the base you are ready to start customizing your own Captain America Superhero hat for the superhero fan in your life. :)

Letter A Logo: using White yarn
Row 1: Start off with a chain of  20.  Place 2 hdc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 hdc in the next 6 ch, 3 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next 2 ch, 3 hdc in following st, 1 hdc in next 6 st, and 2 hdc in last st.  (24 st total)
Row 2:  Ch 1 and rotate so you will be working up the unworked side of the chain. Work 1 sl st into side of last hdc and into first ch (where your hdc was worked from) before placing 1 sl st in each of the next 3 st. In next st, sl st before making a ch of 6, place 1 hdc in the 3rd ch from hook and in each of the next 3 ch. Sl st into the next ch back on A body.  (You should now have a little strap across that will hook into A shape when you sew it on in one piece.) Sl st in next 12 st.  Rotate your A so you will now be working on the outside perimeter. Sl st in side of hdc st and it top of 1st hdc on this side of the A.  Place 1 sl st in the rest of the st around until you reach your 1st sl st in Row 2. Sl st in to the first st.
Leave an extra long yarn tail before cutting it and pulling through. You will need this tail to sew your A logo securely in place during finishing step.

*This size logo will work on toddler, teen, women’s and men’s size hats.  For newborn to 12 month size hats, switch to sc and remove 4 ch from starting ch.  This will allow you to remove 2 sc on each length of the A. Just make sure you remove the same amount on each side of the A or it will end up a bit lopsided.

Finishing off:
Using the tail left on the assembled large letter “A” logo from before and your yarn needle, sew the piece in the desired location on the front of the hat.  (You can reference my pictures to see how I placed my own.) This is when you will also sew your strap from the inside of the A logo into position.  I like to do that all in one step for less work. 😉  Once secure, pull yarn to the inside of your beanie hat before fastening off.
Check for any tails or ends that you may have missed in process to weave in and finish off. Do so if you find any. Then you are all done.

Here are some pictures to show how this Captain America inspired beanie hat looks worn from different directions once finished:

Green Lantern Superhero Logo Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Closeup

Finishing off:
Before attaching anything to the hat directly we are going to put together the logo in one piece so that when we fasten off any undesirable ends are hidden between logo circle and beanie. :)
Taking the tail left on the green circle part of logo, center it on your white logo circle then use your yarn needle to secure it in place.  Once secure pull the yarn through to the back before fastening off.
Next take the tail from one of the green logo stripes and use your yarn needle to sew it in place. One should be on the top and the other on the bottom in parallel lines to each other as seen in logo picture and my hat pictures.  As before, once secure, pull yarn to back and fasten off.  Repeat this process for the second stripe.  Once fastened off you should only have one yarn tail left on your assembled logo, a long white one.
Using the tail left on the assembled logo from before and your yarn needle, sew the piece onto the desired place on the front of the hat.  (You can reference my pictures to see how I placed my own.)
Check for any tails or ends that you may have missed in process to weave in and finish off. Do so if you find any. Then you are all done.

Here are some pictures to show how the finished Green Lantern Superhero beanie hat looks worn from different directions once crocheted:

Vampire Smiley Face Beanie Hat Free Crochet Pattern

So I’m a bit of a geek. Okay a lot of geek, but proud of it. 😀  I love smiley faces or emoticons and I am mildly obsessed with vampires so it seemed like a good fit to smash them together in one fun hat.

I liked how this turned out so well I made it my official blood draw hat to wear when getting my bloodwork, which happens way too much with my health issues but how can you not smile when you are wearing this hat?

Chibi Baby Girl Panda Beanie Hat Free Crochet Pattern

I fell in love with this sweet baby girl panda hat as I crocheted the pieces and assembled it.  I think it is just downright adorable but I could be a bit biased on that. 😉  What is more cute than a panda? A baby panda!  My soon to be stepdaughter adores pandas so I’m sure she will try to steal this one but it will be hard to let it go.  Maybe I will make up a second one for myself once I finish all my works in progress.

Chibi Baby Girl Panda Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Closeup on Face Features

Finishing off:
Starting from the bottom up, use the tail left on your nose and yarn needle to sew your nose in place on beanie hat. Use extra tail length to freehand stitch on a mouth one nose is secure. You can reference my pictures on how I placed mine. Once mouth is complete, pull your yarn to inside of hat before finishing off.
Next take the tail left over from one of the blush circles and sew it in place on either side of the mouth near bottom of panda hat. Once securely in place, pull yarn to inside before fastening off. Now repeat this process for the second blush circle.
Using tail on one eye pupil, sew it in place securely on top of an eye white.  I centered mine on the eye white. Once secure, pull yarn to back of eye then fasten off.  Repeat this process for second eye.
Once you have the previous step done for the eye whites and pupil, you are ready to attach the eyes on to the black eye area ovals. Use the white yarn tail left from the eye white and yarn needle to sew them on to the black eye area.  You can see my pictures to see how I placed mine but feel free to mix it up.  Repeat this process for second eye.
Now you want to use the tail from one assembled eye (which should be long black yarn tail from your black eye area) and your yarn needle to sew one eye in to the proper place on beanie. You can reference my pictures as to where I placed them on my chibi panda hat.   Once sewn on, pull yarn to inside of hat and finish off.  Now go ahead and repeat this process for second eye.
Next using the tail left behind on one of the panda ears, use your needle to secure the ear to the side top area of the beanie in desired location with the contrast on hat. (You can see my pictures for where I placed my own.)  Once you have it in place, pull your yarn in to the inside of the beanie before finishing off any extra length.  Repeat this process for the second ear.
Taking the long tail from your bow circle, sew it in place on center of your bow base.  You will then use extra length to sew your assembled bow directly on to your beanie hat.  Once secure pull your yarn to inside of hat before fastening off.
Now check over your crochet project for any tails or ends that you may have missed in process to weave in and finish off. Do so if you find any.

I absolutely adore this chibi panda hat I made up one afternoon.  Normally I make hats with a certain person or requested character.  This one just came to me while working on another hat and I had to make it.  Just like many of my projects I fell in love with it during assembly process. <3 Happy crafting!

Here are some of the pictures I took to show how this Chibi Baby Girl Panda hat looks from different directions when completed:
