Cinnamoroll the White Puppy Character Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

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!

*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:
