baby sunhat…..my pattern for you

I really love crochet and how easy it is to make things up and oh so easy to pull a bit out and start where you left off without losing all your work or dropping stitches (as often happens with knitting). So here is a little something I prepared earlier for you….a baby sunhat! I hope to have more sizes coming soon……


You’ll need 1 skein sugar n cream (or a worsted cotton) and a size 7 (for me that means the bigger end of my yellow hamanaka) crochet hook. You can pick up sugar n cream at american yarns, on ebay or perhaps you’re lucky enough to have it in your stash)

To start : ch 5 and form a ring with sl stitch.
1st round: ch 3 and 11dc in ring, slt stitch into 3rd ch at start of round
2nd & 3rd round: ch 3 and 2dc in each dc and sl st as before, repeat this round
4th round: ch 3 and dc in each dc, repeat this round 7 times or until you’re happy with the height of the hat
brim, ch 3 and 2dc in each dc around
2nd & 3rd round of brim : ch3 and dc in each dc
To finish: sc in each dc to finish off and weave in ends!

Now fit on a baby or wrap up as a present! Will fit the under 1’s (we all have big heads in this house, so unfortunately no living models were available!!!)

  1. So very sweet Corrie, just love it. Thanks for sharing you pattern.:)

  2. Thanks Corrie.

  3. Cute. I love how easy crochet is to pull bits apart with out losing rows and dropping stitches. It makes experimenting that much easier.

  4. It looks so cute Corrie, now only if I could crochet ….

  5. Totally off topic comment, Corrie. Babushka biscuit cutters here, http://www.biskart.com.au/misc/babushka-doll-set-3-cookie-cutters.html

    If you go back to main part of site you’ll see the range covered. Babushkas are page 4 or 5 of the section called Miscellaneous.

    Thought of you as soon as I saw them.

  6. Ah, I love a good excuse to stick with the crochet hook over summer (and that doesn’t include a crocheted bikini!)…thanks for the tute!
