Arthritis Awareness Blue Curly Pigtail Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

free crochet pattern by cRAfterChick.com

I decided to make myself some fun hats to wear with or without my newly acquired wigs since I have been losing my hair. I came up with this idea for a blue curly pigtail hat to wear for World Arthritis Day or just for fun. I will be making some in different hair colors for some small children as requested by their parents. I’ve had several adults ask me to make this for them as well.

Since I really do hate the sewing together part of hats, I designed it so each pigtail is in one piece versus each curl being a separate piece to sew on. I think it’s a great project for beginners. It looks a lot more complicated than it actually is to make. Happy crafting!

Arthritis Awareness Blue Curly Pigtail Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Notes

Project requires:
Arthritis Awareness Blue Yarn for Beanie Hat (main color or whatever color you desire)- (I use a lot of Red Heart Saver yarn but any medium to normal weight yarn will do)
Lighter Purple Contrast Yarn for bow
“J” hook (6.0 mm)
Scissors or Yarn Cutter
Blunt large eye yarn / tapestry needle to weave in ends

Abbreviations used in this pattern (US crochet stitches):
ch – chain
st – stitch
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet (US)
dc – double crochet (US)
hdc – half double crochet (US)

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 y Pre-Teen / Te en / Wom en Doub le Croch et Bea nie Patt ern, 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 of the free pattern you want for your project.

Once you have completed your beanie for the base you are ready to start on making your own curly pigtail hat!

Bow (Make 2): using purple contrast yarn

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:

Curly Pigtails (Make 2): using main color blue yarn

First Curl

Starting off to make a ch of 37. In 3rd ch from hook, place 3 dc and place 3 dc in each of the following 23 ch. In next ch place 2 hdc. Sl st back in to the next ch in the foundation chain.

Second Curl

Sl st in next ch now, leaving the rest of the ch unworked for now ch 27. Place 3 dc in the 3rd ch from hook, then make 3 dc in each of the following 23 ch and make 2 hdc in last ch before making a sl st back in to foundation chain in the next ch from start of curl.

Third Curl

Sl st in next ch now, leaving rest of the foundation ch unworked for now, ch 22. Starting in 3rd ch from hook, place 3 dc in 3rd chain and in each of the following 18 ch. In last ch before foundation chain, make 2 hdc before sl st back in to foundation chain in ch after the starting one from start of curl.

Fourth Curl

Sl st in next ch now, leaving the rest of the foundation ch unworked for now, ch 22. Starting in 3rd ch from hook, place 3 dc in 3rd chain and in each of the following 18 ch. In last ch before foundation chain, make 2 hdc before sl st back in to foundation chain in ch after the starting one from start of curl.

For the fifth curl, sl st in next ch now, leaving rest of ch unworked for now, ch 17. Make 3 dc in 3rd ch from your hook, 3 dc in following 13 ch and 2 hdc in last ch before you sl st back in to foundation chain in ch next on chain.

For the sixth curl, sl st in next ch before leaving rest of ch unworked for now and ch 17. Make 3 dc in 3rd ch from your hook, 3 dc in following 13 ch and 2 hdc in last ch before you sl st back in to foundation chain in ch next on chain.

Leave a long enough tail on your pigtail in order to be able to securely sew it in to place on your beanie hat during assembly before you cut the yarn, pull it through and place it to side until needed.

Repeat process for your second pigtail.

This size pigtail will work great on youth through adult sized hats. For toddler sized hats, do the following:

First Curl

Starting off to make a ch of 23. In 3rd ch from hook, place 3 hdc and place 3 hdc in each of the following 15 ch. In next ch place 2 hdc. Sl st back in to the next ch in the foundation chain.

Second Curl

Sl st in next ch now, leaving the rest of the ch unworked for now ch 16. Place 3 hdc in the 3rd ch from hook, then make 3 hdc in each of the following 12 ch and make 2 hdc in last ch before making a sl st back in to foundation chain in the next ch from start of curl.

Third Curl

Sl st in next ch now, leaving rest of the foundation ch unworked for now, ch 16. Starting in 3rd ch from hook, place 3 hdc in 3rd chain and in each of the following 12 ch. In last ch before foundation chain, make 2 hdc before sl st back in to foundation chain in ch after the starting one from start of curl.

Fourth Curl

Sl st in next ch now, leaving the rest of the foundation ch unworked for now, ch 13. Starting in 3rd ch from hook, place 3 hdc in 3rd chain and in each of the following 9 ch. In last ch before foundation chain, make 2 hdc before sl st back in to foundation chain in ch after the starting one from start of curl.

Fifth Curl

For the fifth curl, sl st in next ch now, leaving rest of ch unworked for now, ch 13. Make 3 hdc in 3rd ch from your hook, 3 hdc in following 9 ch and 2 hdc in last ch before you sl st back in to foundation chain in ch next on chain.

Sixth Curl (Optional – if you are doing newborn to 3 month size, you may want to eliminate either the sixth or second curl to make the pigtails less overwhelming in relation to hat)

For the sixth curl, sl st in next ch before leaving the last ch unworked for now and ch 10. Make 3 hdc in 3rd ch from your hook, 3 hdc in following 6 ch and 2 hdc in last ch before you sl st back in to foundation chain in ch next on chain.

Repeat process for your second pigtail.

Finishing off:

Take the tail left on one of your curly pigtails and your yarn needle to sew it on to the top side of your beanie hat. You can see where I placed my own. If you want your pigtails to hang longer than hat, place lower on hat, if you like it equal or shorter to length of hat, place further towards the top. Once secure, pull your yarn to the inside of the beanie and fasten off. Repeat process for the second pigtail.

Next take the tail left on one your purple (or desired color) hair bows and your yarn needle to sew it to the top of one attached curly pigtails 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. I like to do this step on top of the pigtails that are already attached to beanie as a double step to secure the pigtails to the hat with the bow.

Once you have it sewn in to place, pull your yarn to the inside of hat before fastening off. Now repeat process for second bow.

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.

All done! Now you have one completed curly pigtail hat! I love mine. I even wore it to go to the emergency room on Paint the World Blue for Arthritis Day. Boy did it get a lot of attention and kept the smiles going around.

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

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Character Hat Crochet Pattern

free crochet pattern from cRAfterChick.com

My Diary of a Wimpy Kid Greg hat was such a big hit at auction at the school my Mom teaches at, I had to make several more Greg hats to make everyone happy. One young kid is a big Rodrick fan so I designed this hat just for him. I was in a rush to get it to him before the end of the school year so I didn’t get the best pictures but hopefully they still let you see the details to try your own.

You can learn more about Diary of a Wimpy Kid here or see the book series here. It really is a great children’s book series.

My nephew took one look at the Greg and Roderick hats before pushing them to the top of the list he keeps adding to of hats I MUST make for him. lol He apparently wants one of everything I make. Auntie Niki to the rescue.

Smile: Using black contrast yarn
Make 1 chain of 18 ch and leave tail to sew this main part of the smile in to place when assembling beanie hat.
Make 1 chain of 5 ch and leave tail of yarn to sew the sides of the smile in to place on each end of the smile chain from previous step. Put to side until needed during assembly.

*These features will work on toddler to adult male hat sizes. For newborn to 12 month hat sizes, do the following: For main smile piece : Ch 12 instead of 18. For smile sides, ch 2 instead of 5.

Nose Pieces (make 2): using white main color yarn
Row 1: Ch 7. Place 1 dc in third ch from hook and 1 dc in each of the following 4 st. Ch 2 and turn. (5 dc)

Place 2 sc in each of these 5 st before proceeding down other side of nose to corner with 1 sc in each st again. When you reach bottom corner, cut yarn and fasten off. You should have the 5 st at the base of the nose unworked with black like as seen in my pictures.

Ear Fronts (Make 2): using main color white yarn
Round 1: In magic circle, ch 2 before placing 12 dc. Pull the circle closed to line up in tight circle. Sl st in to top of 1st st. (12 dc)

Ear Back (Make 2): using main color white yarn and black contrast yarn for last round
Repeat rounds 1-2 of Ear Fronts in previous step but do not fasten off at end of round 2. You want to leave a long enough tail at start of Round 1 of the Ear Backs so that you can sew the ears on to place on hat during assembly process.
Placing one ear front in front of your ear back you are working on, continue working the following through both pieces at same time.
Round 3: Attach black contrast yarn with a sl st in last st worked. Ch 1 before working 1 sc in first 6 st, then alternate 1 sc then 2 sc repeatedly until back at first st in round. Sl st in to top of 1st st in round.

Leave a tail long enough to sew eyebrows in place, cut yarn, pull through and put to side until needed in assembly.
Repeat process for second eyebrow.

*These features will work well on toddler to adult male hat sizes. For newborn to 12 month hat sizes, do the following:
Make a ch of 5, sc in 2nd ch from hook and place 1 sc in each of the following 3 st. (4 sc)

Finishing off:
Since I like to start adding my features from the bottom up we will start with Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick’s smile. I find that by working from bottom up you get a better idea of how much space you have during the process. Otherwise you may find yourself scrunching up features at the bottom if you haven’t left enough space in your process. By working upwards you always have extra room as you can just move the next feature up a little higher if need be.
You are now going to use this the tail left on the large smile chain from before and your yarn needle to sew the main smile piece into the desired place on the hat. (You can reference my pictures to see how I placed his smile my own hat in a lopsided grin.) Once you have secured it into place, bring the yarn into the inside of the beanie hat and finish off.
Now repeat this process to the smaller side smile chain on the right side to give his lopsided smile.
Next we will work on attaching the nose that was assembled previously. Use the tail left behind and needle to secure the nose piece in place on to the beanie hat. Pull yarn in to the inside of beanie once sewn on and fasten off.
Next we will work on the his eyes. Take the yarn tail left from one eye and sew it into place on to the hat. Note that you want the oval of eyes to have the narrow sides on top and bottom whereas the long ends facing sides. Once it’s sewn on, pull yarn in to the inside of the hat before finishing off. Repeat for second eye.
Now that your eyes are in place, take the tail from one eyebrow and your yarn needle to to secure it in place over one eye. Once sewn on, pull yarn to inside of beanie before fastening off. Repeat process for second eyebrow.
Now you need to attach Rodrick’s ears on to the beanie. Sew each of the ears in place by using the leftover yarn tail from when you crocheted the ears before directly on to the top sides of the beanie in your desired position. Once secure, pull yarn in to inside of your hat before finishing off. Repeat process for second ear.
Picking up one of Rodrick’s pieces of hair you created before, use the tail left and yarn needle to secure them in to place on the top of the beanie hat. I centered my middle hair right in the 1st Round circle on my own beanie hat but you can place it in your desired location to best fit your hat. Once the hair has been securely sewn on, pull yarn into the inside of the hat before finishing off. Repeat process with second and third hair, positioning them on either side of your middle hair.
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. I would love to see your version if you make one, just drop me a line. All done now!

Here are some of the pictures I took to show how this Rodrick hat looks worn and from different directions when completed:

Chibi Sleeping Bunny with Bow Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

Chibi Sleeping Bunny with Bow Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

free crochet pattern by cRAfterChick.com

I saw a stuffed toy awhile back that had the cutest sleeping bunny face. I wish I could remember where I saw it. It was so adorable. Unfortunately I screwed up on the eyelashes and it didn’t turn out as clean looking as I wanted. I may switch to embroidery thread if I make another but here is the pattern to my design.

I don’t have a toddler sized head model so I apologize for not having the usual 3D pictures of how it looks worn from different angles. I actually made this one for my niece to wear on Easter and just got around to typing it up.

Chibi Sleeping Bunny with Bow Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Notes

Project requires:
White Yarn for Beanie Hat main color (or desired color) and ear back / outer ear trim- (I use a lot of Red Heart Saver yarn but any medium to normal weight yarn will do)
Black yarn for closed eye / eyelashes
Pink contrast yarn for inner ears and bow
“J” hook (6.0 mm)
Scissors or Yarn Cutter
Blunt large eye yarn / tapestry needle to weave in ends

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 Peasy Toddler Sized (Age 1 – 3 Years Old) Double Crochet Beanie 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 of the free pattern you want for your project.

Once you have completed your beanie for the base you are ready to start on making your Chibi Sleeping Bunny hat.

Eye Lines (Make 2): using black yarn
Make a chain of 10.
Repeat for second eye line. Place to the side until needed for assembly.

*This feature works well on toddler to adult male sized beanie hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, make a chain of 7 instead of a chain of 10 as step calls for.

Eyelashes (Make 8): using black yarn
Make a chain of 4.
Leave a short tail long enough to secure the eyelash in place during assembly before cutting yarn and pulling through. Place eyelash to the side until needed in assembly.
Repeat process for the rest of the eyelashes required.
*Note: You may want to opt to skip the crocheted eyelashes and try out some embroidery thread if yours aren’t coming out right. I’m not happy with how mine came out exactly so I will be trying the embroidery thread on next one requiring eyelashes.*

*This feature works well on toddler to adult male sized beanie hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, make eyelashes of 2 ch each instead of the of ch 4 step calls for.

Ear Front (Make 2): using pink contrast color yarn
Row 1: Ch 5, 1 dc in 3rd ch from hook and place 1 dc in each of the following 2 ch. Ch 2 and turn. (3 dc)

Fasten off and put down ear front until ready to attach to ear back.
Repeat process for second ear.

*This feature works well on toddler to adult male sized beanie hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, skip rounds 5, 10, 11 and 12.

Ear Back (Make 2): using pink contrast color yarn
Repeat Rows 1-9 from Ear Front step above but do leave a long enough tail of yarn at the beginning of your project to be able to sew your ears once assembled on to the beanie hat and do not fasten off at the end of Row 9 like with the ear fronts.
Row 10: Place one finished Ear Front in front of the Ear Back you are working on. Working through both pieces at once, ch 1 before placing 3 sc in both of the sc from previous round, continue working a round of 1 sc in each st around the perimeter with 3 sc in each corner when working around until you reach 1st st in round. Sl st in to the top of 1st st. The 3 sc in top of ear curve and bottom corners will give the ear a more rounded appearance.
Fasten off. You should still have the tail from beginning of ear back that you will use during finishing steps. Place assembled ear to the side until needed.
Repeat process for second ear.

Fasten off. You don’t need to leave a tail on this feature as you will be using tail from bow center to secure this piece on to the beanie hat during assembly. Put to side for now.

*This feature works well on toddler to adult male sized beanie hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, do the following instead:
Row 1: Ch 5 before placing 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook and place 1 hdc in each of the following 2 ch. Ch 2 and turn. (3 hdc)
Row 2: Place 1 hdc in 2nd st leaving 1st st unworked and 1 hdc in each of the next 2 st across. Ch 1 and turn. (2 hdc)

Bow Circle Center: using pink yarn
Round 1: In a magic circle, ch 2 before placing 8 hdc in to the circle. Pull circle closed tightly. Sl st in top of 1st st in round. (8 hdc)
Make sure you leave an extra long tail on your bow circle as you will be using it to secure bow circle on center of bow main piece and then securing assembled bow on to the beanie during finishing steps before you cut the yarn and pull through. Put to side until needed in assembly.

*This feature works well on toddler to adult male sized beanie hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, make a circle of 8 sc instead of 8 hdc as step calls for above.

Finishing off:
Starting from the bottom up, use the tail on one eye chain and yarn needle to sew the eye line in place. Once your it is secured, pull yarn to inside of hat before finishing off. You can reference the picture above to see how I placed my own.
Next you want to use the tail from one eyelash and your yarn needle to sew the eyelash in to the proper place you desire or the closed sleeping eye affect. You can reference my pictures as to where I placed them on my own bunny hat. Once sewn on, pull yarn to inside of hat and finish off. Repeat this process for the rest of the bunny’s eyelashes.
Using the tail left behind on one of the bunny ears, use your yarn needle to secure the ear to the top area of the beanie in desired location with the contrast on hat. You can see my pictures for where I placed my own. You want to place them side by side like in my pictures if you want them to stay upright with the bow. I even stitched up a few st up the middle of the ears, anchoring them together to help them stay upright. If you prefer a floppy ear look move slightly forward and apart on hat. They will flop forward on their own. Once you have 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.
Using tail from your bow center and yarn needle, sew your center in the middle of your main bow piece. Once securely in place, use rest of tail to anchor bow at base of your two ears as I did in my picture.
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.

Here are some of the pictures I took to show how this chibi sleeping bunny character hat looks like once completed:

Cinnamoroll the White Puppy Character Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

June 6, 2013 By cRAfterChick Leave a Comment

Cinnamoroll the White Puppy Character Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

free crochet pattern from cRAfterChick.com

This crochet pattern was inspired by Cinnamoroll the white puppy character from Sanrio. He is so adorable and irresistible. I previously made a different version of Cinnamoroll into a hat with a cinnamon twist. You can find the Cinnamoroll “Cinnamon” the Puppy Character Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern here.

I don’t have a model head that will fit hats under youth sized so sorry for lack of 3d pictures I normally have with post. Happy crafting!

Cinnamoroll the White Puppy Character Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Notes

My niece being silly in her new Cinnamoroll hat 😉 Could she be more adorable? Okay I’m a wee bit biased..

Project requires:
White Yarn for Beanie Hat main color (or desired color)- (I use a lot of Red Heart Saver yarn but any medium to normal weight yarn will do)
Black yarn for smile
Pink yarn for blush circles
Light or Bright Blue for eye color
“J” hook (6.0 mm)
Scissors or Yarn Cutter
Blunt large eye yarn / tapestry needle to weave in ends

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

Eyes (Make 2): using bright or light blue yarn
Round 1: In magic circle, ch 1 before placing the following st in this order: 2 sc, 2 hdc, 3 sc, 2 hdc and 1 sc. Pull the circle closed to line up in tight circle. Sl st in to top of 1st st. (10 st total)
Round 2: Ch 1 before placing 1 sc in first 2 st, 2 sc in next 2 st, 1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in next 2 st and 1 sc in last st before sl st to the top of 1st st in round. (14 st total)
Cut your yarn making sure you leave a tail long enough to sew the eyes on to your Cinnamoroll hat during assembly before pulling yarn through and putting to side.
Repeat for second eye. Place to the side until needed for assembly.

*This feature works well on toddler to adult male sized beanie hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, skip Round 2 in steps above.

Blush Circles (Make 2): using pink colored yarn
Round 1: In magic circle, ch 1 before placing the following st in this order: 3 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 4 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, and 1 sc. Pull the circle closed to line up in tight circle. Sl st in to top of 1st st. (14 st total)
Round 2: Ch 1 before placing 1 sc in first 3 st, 2 sc in next 3 st, 1 sc in next 4 st, 2 sc in next 3 st and 1 sc in last st before making a sl st to the top of 1st st in round. (18 st total)
Cut your yarn making sure you leave a tail long enough to sew the blush circle on to your Cinnamoroll hat during assembly before pulling yarn through and put to side until needed. Repeat this process for second eye.

Repeat process for second ear.

*This feature works well on toddler to adult male sized beanie hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, skip rounds 5, 10, 11 and 12.

Ear Back (Make 2): using white main color yarn
Repeat Rows 1-14 from Ear Front step above but do leave a long enough tail of yarn at the beginning of your project to be able to sew your ears once assembled on to the beanie hat.
Row 15: Place one finished Ear Front in front of the Ear Back you are working on. Working through both pieces at once, ch 1 before placing 3 sc in both of the sc from previous round, continue working a round of 1 sc in each st around the perimeter with 3 sc in each corner when working around until you reach 1st st in round. Sl st in to the top of 1st st.
Fasten off. You should still have the tail from beginning of ear back that you will use during finishing steps. Place assembled ear to the side until needed.
Repeat process for second ear.

Mouth: using black yarn
Make a Ch of 22 leaving a long enough yarn tail to be able to sew this in to place during finishing off steps.

*This feature works well on toddler to adult male sized beanie hats. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, make a ch of 15 instead of 22.

Finishing off:
Starting from the bottom up, use the tail left on your mouth and yarn needle to sew your mouth on the beanie hat. Once your mouth piece is secured, pull yarn to inside of hat before finishing off. You can reference the picture above to see how I placed my own. It’s kind of a curly “w” shape.
Taking the tail from one of your blush circles and yarn needle, sew them in place in desired location on face on each side of mouth. Pull yarn to the inside of your hat when finished sewing before fastening off end. Repeat this process for the second blush circle.
Next you want to use the tail from one blue eye and your yarn needle to sew one eye in to the proper place. You can reference my pictures as to where I placed them on my own Cinnamoroll hat. Once sewn on, pull yarn to inside of hat and finish off. Repeat this process for the second eye.
Using the tail left behind on one of the floppy puppy ears, use your yarn 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 it lower on the hat or higher placement for shorter length of ears hanging down. Once you have 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.
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.

Here are some of the pictures I took to show how my Cinnamoroll “Cinnamon” the Puppy Character Beanie Hat looks like completed:

Parker’s One Eyed Purple Monster Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

Parker’s One Eyed Purple Monster Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

free crochet pattern by cRAfterChick.com

This hat was designed for one of amazing Juvenile Arthritis kid heroes of mine named Parker. Parker just loves the color Purple so I had to make him up his own special purple hat to wear during the Arthritis Foundation walk we had last month. I even gave him some arthritis awareness blue colored horns on top of his head to go with the day’s activities.

Parker’s One Eyed Purple Monster Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Notes

Scissors or Yarn Cutter

Leave a long enough tail to be able to sew your tooth in place on your beanie hat during assembly. Cut yarn, pull tail through and place to side until needed during assembly.

*This feature will work well on toddler to adult male sized hats as pattern calls for. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, do the following instead of above steps:
Round 1: Ch 3 before placing 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and place 1 sc next st. Ch 2 and turn. (2 sc)

Main smile: using black yarn
Make a ch of 20 to 22 depending on how loose of a chain you create. Make sure you leave a long enough tail to be able to secure your smile in place on the beanie hat during finishing off steps before cutting yarn. Put to side until needed in later steps.

*This feature will work well on toddler to adult male sized hats as pattern calls for. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, make a ch of 12 to 16 instead.

Smile sides (Make 2): using black yarn
Make a ch of 4 to 5. Make sure you leave a long enough tail to be able to secure the sides of your monster’s smile in place on the beanie hat during finishing off steps before cutting yarn. Put to side until needed in later steps. Repeat for second side of smile.

Round 2: (back loops only) Attach blue yarn where you left off in previous round with a sl st. Ch 2 before placing 2 hdc in 1st st and 2 hdc in each st around working in back loops only to give a more clean looking transition. Sl st in top of the 1st st in round. (16 hdc ) Fasten off blue.

Round 4-6: Ch 1 and place 1 sc in each st around. Sl st in top of 1st st in round. (18 sc)
Make sure you leave a long enough tail to be able to secure the monster horn bottom (optional if choose to do) and sew the assembled horn in place on the top of the monster hat.

*This feature will work well on toddler to adult male sized hats as pattern calls for. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, do the following instead of horn instructions above:
Round 1: You will start with black yarn to make the pupil of the eye. In magic circle, ch 1 before placing 6 sc in circle. Pull circle closed and sl st in top of 1st st in round. (6 sc)

Round 3-5: Ch 1 before placing 1 sc in each st around. Sl st in to top of 1st st in round. (12 sc)

*Monster Horn Bottom (Make 3): using blue yarn (or desired color)*
*This is an optional step but one I highly recommend. Why? It prevents the stuffing from oozing out and itching foreheads when hats are worn as the stitches stretch out. I like to do this on the back of stuffed features so that doesn’t happen and they keep their desired shape. *
Round 1: In a magic circle, ch 1 before placing 6 sc in circle. Pull circle closed and sl st in top of 1st st in round. (6 sc)
Round 2: Ch 1 before placing 2 sc in 1st st and 2 sc in each st around. Sl st in top of the 1st st in round. (12 sc )
Round 3: Ch 1 before placing 2 sc in 1st st, *make 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in following st * repeating * until back at start of round. Sl st in top of 1st st in round. (18 sc) fasten off.

*This feature will work well on toddler to adult male sized hats as pattern calls for. For newborn to 12 month sized hats, do the following:
Round 1: You will start with black yarn to make the pupil of the eye. In magic circle, ch 1 before placing 6 sc in circle. Pull circle closed and sl st in top of 1st st in round. (6 sc)
Round 2: Ch 1 before placing 2 sc in 1st st and 2 sc in each st around. Sl st in top of the 1st st in round. (12 sc ) Fasten off.

Finishing off:
Starting from the bottom up, use tail left on your monster’s eye and yarn needle to sew it in place securely on beanie hat. Once secure, pull yarn inside hat before fastening off.
For the lopsided smile, use your tail and yarn needle to sew the smile chain in desired position near the bottom of the beanie hat. Once you have it in place, pull yarn to inside of your hat and fasten off.
Now that your smile is in place, take the tail from one smile side and use your needle to sew on one side of the smile. Once secure pull yarn to inside of hat and fasten off. Repeat for second smile side.
Using the tail left on your white tooth and needle, sew it in desired location on smile you created on previous step. You can reference the pictures with the pattern to see how I placed my own. Once in place, pull yarn to inside of hat and fasten off.
*optional step for those who made horn bottoms in previous steps* Taking the tail left on one horn and and horn bottom, line the stitches up with horn bottom covering opening on horn. Now stitch through both pieces for each stitch around. You will want to stop about 2/3 of the way to stuff your horn to desired fill. I have a bad habit of over stuffing my features and it makes them bubble on the bottom so I try to do a little less than what I think looks good to compensate for the curve of the fitted hat when worn. Once you have stitched all around perimeter, securing the bottom in place, keep the leftover tail to use in following step. Repeat this process for the other 2 horns for your hat.
Taking the yarn tail left on one of your monster’s horns and your yarn needle, sew the horn securely on place on top of the beanie hat. I started with the middle one and centered it on top of the hat before placing the other two on each side equal distance apart from middle horn but feel free to play around with it. Once it is attached, pull your yarn to the inside and fasten off. Now repeat the process for the other horns.
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 Parker’s Purple Monster hat looks like worn from different angles once fully completed:

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.

I decided to add his shield logo as an over-sized applique to a hat when designing this hat in the superhero hat collection I designed for my nephews. I like how it turned out so here is the pattern if you want to make it as well.

I would say this project is for advanced beginners and up do to color changes and star shape but it is definitely doable even for a first time hat maker. Enjoy!

Blunt large eye yarn / tapestry needle to weave in ends

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 in colored yarn
Now you want to add the pretty red contrast trim to the bottom of the hat to play off the red, white and blue aspect of Captain America. Attach the red yarn to where you left off when finishing main beanie with a sl st. Ch 1 and place 1 sc in each st around. Sl st in top of 1st st in round and fasten off.
Once you have completed your beanie for the base you are ready to start your own Captain America Superhero shield logo inspired hat for the superhero fan in your life.

Logo circle Base: using dark blue, red and white yarn

Leave a long enough tail that you will be able to secure the assembled logo during finishing off steps on to the beanie hat when sewing on before you cut the yarn and pull it through. Place logo circle to side for now.

*This size logo will fit on toddler through adult sized hats. For newborn to 12 month sizes, do the following instead:

Make sure you leave an tail long enough to secure the star in place on the logo circle during assembly before you cut yarn and pull through. I stitched mine around the perimeter of the star and around the main circle in Round 1 so it wouldn’t bubble up in the middle.

*This size logo will fit on toddler through adult sized hats. For newborn to 12 month sizes, do the following instead:
Round 1: In a magic circle, ch 2 before placing 10 hdc in circle. Pull circle closed and s st in top of 1st st in round. (10 hdc)

Rochelle’s Pretty Purple Chick Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

June 5, 2013 By cRAfterChick 1 Comment

Rochelle’s Pretty Purple Chick Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

free crochet pattern from cRAfterChick.com

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.

Rochelle’s Pretty Purple Chick Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern Notes

Project requires:
Purple Yarn for Beanie Hat (main color)- (I use a lot of Red Heart Saver yarn but any medium to normal weight yarn will do)
Lighter Purple Yarn for contrast trim
White Yarn for eye whites
Black Yarn for eye pupils
Blue for arthritis awareness bow
Orange Yarn for Beak
“J” hook (6.0 mm)
Scissors or Yarn Cutter
Blunt large eye yarn / tapestry needle to weave in ends

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 y Pre-Teen / Te en / Wom en Doub le Croch et Bea nie Patt ern, 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 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.

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:

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.

Mario and Luigi Beanie Hats Crochet Pattern

Mario and Luigi Beanie Hats Crochet Pattern

free crochet pattern from cRAfterChick.com

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!

Mario and Luigi Beanie Hats Crochet Pattern Notes

Red Yarn for Beanie Hat (Mario main color)- (I use a lot of Red Heart Saver yarn but any medium to normal weight yarn will do)

Scissors or Yarn Cutter
Blunt large eye yarn / tapestry needle to weave in ends

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.

Mario Hat Base: using red yarn for main color and white yarn for contrast trim
Use Easy Peasy Crochet Beanie Size of your choice
Once you have completed your beanie for the red hat base you are ready to start your Mario hat.
Taking white yarn, attach to the beanie where you left off in last round of hat pattern with a sl st. Ch 1 before placing 1 sc in 1st st and 1 sc in each of the following st around. Sl st to the top of the 1st st in round before fastening off.

Luigi Hat Base: using green yarn for main color and white yarn for contrast trim
Use Easy Peasy Crochet Beanie Size of your choice
Once you have completed your beanie for the green hat base you are ready to start your Luigi hat.
Taking white yarn, attach to the beanie where you left off in last round of hat pattern with a sl st. Ch 1 before placing 1 sc in 1st st and 1 sc in each of the following st around. Sl st to the top of the 1st st in round before fastening off.

White Logo Circle (same for both Mario and Luigi hats): using white yarn
Round 1: Ch 2 (does not count as a st throughout pattern) before placing 10 dc in a magic circle. Pull circle tight before sl st in top of beginning st. (10 dc)
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)
Cut yarn leaving a long tail in order to sew your eye on to the beanie during assembly process. Pull yarn through and put to side until needed.
*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.

Luigi “L” letter for logo: using green yarn
Make a ch of 12. Leave a long enough tail pf yarn to be able to sew this chain on to your logo circle in the shape of the letter “L” before cutting yarn and pulling through stitch.
*For toddler sized hats, make a ch of 10 instead of 12.
*For newborn to 12 month sized hats, make a ch of 8 instead of 12.

Finishing off:

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.

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!

Here are some pictures to show how the Mario and Luigi beanie completed hats look worn from different angles:
