Cinnamoroll “Cinnamon” the Puppy Character Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

Cinnamoroll “Cinnamon” the Puppy Character Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern

  free crochet pattern from cRAfterChick.com

This crochet pattern was inspired by this cute picture of Cinnamoroll the Puppy with the contrast cinnamon colored lines. Even though he is an all white puppy I wanted to see how he would turn out with a bit of cinnamon.  So thus this hat was created.  He is a Hello Kitty world friend and adorable of course.  I think he translated pretty well to crochet. Now I have to make an all white true version of him soon!

Ear Back (Make 2): using white main color yarn
Repeat Rounds 1-16 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. After completing Round 16 fasten off.

Ear Liner: using one ear front, one ear back and cinnamon brown yarn
Round 17: Place one finished Ear Front in front of the Ear Back you are working on. Attach your “cinnamon” yarn to a st at one of the top corners of ears with a sl st before ch 1, then work a round of  1 sc around the perimeter through both pieces until you reach the other top corner.
Fasten off once one round is completed and sl st to beginning st.

Mouth: using pink yarn 
Round 1: Ch 7 before placing 1 dc in 3rd ch from hook and 1 dc in the following 4 ch. Ch 2 and turn. (5 dc)

Mouth Liner: using cinnamon brown contrast yarn
Attach “cinnamon” colored yarn to the mouth with a sl st in a st.  Ch 1 before placing 1 sc in each st but place 3 sc in the top two corners of mouth and in bottom dc st in curve to give it a more rounded appearance if desired.

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.
Taking the tail from one of your blush circles and yarn needle, sew them in place in desired location on face.  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 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 from different directions when completed:
