Well Hello Lovelies!
Valentines is soon approaching,
I had been just dying to
make my daughter another
I had been just dying to
make my daughter another
Valentines hat.
This pattern is very simple, so here we go!
I used a size H on the picture above and only one strand of yarn. But in the pictures below I am using a size K hook and I am using two strands
of Off White/Cream colored yarn
by Loops and Threads.
Make a magic ring to start out with.
Round 1: Crochet 8 half double crochets into the magic ring and connect with a slip stitch into the first chain.
Round 2: Chain 2
Round 2: After you chain two, crochet a half double crochet into the same whole. Then crochet two half double crochets into each chain. I crochet into the top two chains, this will ensure smaller wholes. After you crochet two half double crochets into each chain, then join the circle with a slip stitch into the third chain. Joining into the 2nd chain.
Round 3: Chain two and crochet a half double crochet into the same chain. Then in the next stitch crochet only one half double crochet into the next chain. Crochet two half double crochets into the next chain and then one half double crochet into the next. Follow the same pattern all way around and join the circle with a slip stitch into the 2nd chain.
Round 4: Chain two and crochet a half double crochet into the same chain. In the next chain crochet one half double crochet. In the next will be another single half double crochet, and then after that will be two half double crochets.
The pattern will alternate two half doubles, then one half double into the next two chains. Then two half doubles into every third chain. Slip stitch into the 2nd chain to join the circle.
Round 5: Chain two and crochet a half double crochet into the same chain. The pattern on this round will be one half double crochet into 3 chains and then two double crochets into the 4th chain. Slip stitch into the 2nd chain to join the circle.
Round 6: Chain two and crochet a half double crochet into the same chain. The pattern for this round will be one half double crochet into 4 chains and two half double crochets into the 5th chain. Slip Stitch into the 2nd chain to join the circle.
Round 7: At this point you should have 4 inches from the center to the outer edge, in which you are now ready to begin the length. .
Chain two, but this time go to the next chain and crochet one half double crochet, do so in all the chains all the way. Slip stitch in to the 2nd chain to join the circle.
If you do not half 4 inches and it is smaller than that, you will need to do one more round, but you will add the two half double crochets in every 6th chain.
Continue crocheting one half double crochet into each chain until you reach 9 inches from the center to the outer edge. Remember to always chain two at the beginning of the round and to slip stitch at the end of the round.
Now for the hearts on the ear...
This is very simple. To make mine bigger I used two strands of yarn and used a size K hook.
Make a magic circle.
Chain 3, and crochet 3 triple crochets into the magic ring.
Then crochet 3 double crochets into the magic ring.
Crochet 1 triple crochet into the ring.
Now we do the opposite of the above instructions to make the other side of the ear.
Crochet 3 double crochets, and then 3 triple crochets into the ring.
Chain 3 and slip stitch into the actual magic ring.
And wha- la, you just made you a heart, yay!
To attach my hearts I left plenty of yarn when I cut it off the heart, and using my crochet needle I sewed it onto the hat weaving it in and out all the way around.
Now, to make the braid I cut 8 pieces of cream yarn and 8 pieces of the pink and white yarn into long pieces.
You will need 16 pieces total for each side.
Using your crochet needle, pull all 16 pieces into the hat behind the heart. Match up the ends and now you have 32 pieces on one side. Divide them up and braid them. Do it to the other side and your done!
*Please note that you will need more rounds if only using one strand of yarn and a size H hook on the hat. I believe I ended up doing 8 rounds before doing the length.
I hope this pattern helped. I had a lot of fun making it and my daughter loves it!
Thanks for tuning in!
Until Next time...
Coming tomorrow...
