We offered the Ripple Hat for baby, but some are asking for the little mittens pattern. Will you point us to the link for the pattern. Thank you for the hat pattern. Lyn is a very good friend of mine and is a moderator in our Angels4Preemies group. Today is January 4, 2010.

The mittens were just made up as I went…it should be easy enough to reconstruct the pattern, though. I’ll work on it! 🙂
I’d love to know the brand of yarn and colorway to make this hat. It’s adorable.
Can I use this pattern to sell make hats to sell…I don’t see anything and while I could do it and not ask I prefer to ask it’s only right
I put the labels somewhere where I wouldn’t lose them, which of course guarantees that now I can’t find them. 🙂 They’ll turn up sooner or later, though, and I’ll post the yarns that I used when they do.
Of course, Tonya. I don’t feel any need to control the use of the pattern. I hope it’s profitable for you! (Thanks for asking!)
I have been looking for a ripple hat pattern for a long time. I love it! I’m probably going to sell a couple of these in my Etsy shop. I will gladly give you credit for the beautiful pattern! Thanks so much for doing this!!!!!
As requested, I’ve added the mitten pattern. Enjoy!
They are adorable. I make baby hats for a hospital near me and I’m going to use your pattern for the next couple I make. Thank you for sharing your pattern. I like them.
Could you give me a gauge on this or a finished size? I made one and its adorable but it looks big. Maybe i need to use a different size needle. Thank You.
Thank you for this pattern. I would like to make these for gifts. I have 6 grandchildren, but they are too big for these now, but it would be nice for charity gifts also. Thanks again.
Hi I am also a s RN that works in a Academy/Residential that exists to help troubled girls. I have instructed and mentored many of them to crochet. One of the therapists claims that crochet and other types of repetitive hand movement type crafts helps as a coping skill and helps reprogram the brain. I have done many types of things to help the girls. I have done massage therapy with deep tendon release of the arms, shoulders and such. We had management changes and now I am highly limited and /or forebiden to do massages at this time. I am always looking for cheep yarn and supplies to give the girls and have bought a lot out of my own money. I am always looking for creative things to do with the girls. I do weekly nurse led topics for health and include many things in my teaching 1 of which has been crochet, spa, relaxation, infection control, car safety, med safety and on and on. If anyone has ideas or yarn or hooks they want to give pls contact me. I have had guest speakers come and share parts of their stories of survival and career posibilities also. I currently live in noth IL
I want to help the girls as a community service project make baby hats for the new born nursery of IL hospitals. this is why I am looking up baby hat patterns
Thanks in advance Margo (village Grandma)

Thank you for this pattern, it is so cute. I made it a little smaller because I was using Simply soft yarn. (don’t have any baby weight at the moment) I am going to get some baby weight yarn because I want to get the size of it with that weight. I work for a hospital(several actually) and I would like to make some of these for our baby units.
Very cute! Do you know how this can be adapted to a teen/adult size?
Just love the pattern and have made several for charity! While making these adorable little hats, I revised the directions for the beginning of rounds 4-16. I would like to recommend this pattern on Ravelry with the revised changes. I will be happy to email you the revisions with pics so that other interested crocheters can refer to your site for this adorable pattern.
Sure, improvements are welcome. 🙂
Thus far, I have made 7 hats of various sizes using your pattern with its revisions. It is a perfect pattern — newborns to adults — by simply adjusting size of crochet hook and type of yarn.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE ADORABLE PATTERN!!! HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR SOME TIME FOR A PATTERN THAT WOULD WORK UP QUICK AND CUTE, AND REALLY THRILLED TO FIND A HAT PATTERN IN RIPPLE PATTERN. NOW I CAN MAKE HAT AND BLANKLET SETS TO DONATE TO MY LOCAL HOSPITALS.
On the last round of the hat – are you sure there should be a skip two in there? The numbers just don’t add up right, unless there’s something I’m missing.
Can I use this pattern to sell make hats to sell… I prefer to ask it’s only right i think that they are adorable
It’s been a while since I’ve made one (trying to get through my last semester of grad school right now, everything else is on the sidelines!) so I’m not sure…could be I just count spaces differently than you do. Do what makes it come out right for you! 😉
Sure, I don’t have a problem with that. Thanks for asking, though! 🙂
joctust found your patteren.were haveing a great grandbaby this oct. so im looking for new things to work on for him/her.have a greatday and i enjoy your work and your patterens. thanks catherine
Thank you so much for your pattern it should be a great addition to the blanket. Have a blessed day.
I love this pattern! The directions are clear and easy to understand. I have a friend who’s having a new grandbaby in September and I wanted something new to make for him. Thanks to you I found what I was looking for!
I am on rounds 7-16 where a correction was made on 1/5/10. I can not get round 6 to match up with round 7. Do I need to skip more than two st.
Thank you
I love your patterns but can’t find where to print them out can you help
Just use the print function in your browser. (Control-P is usually a shortcut to printing.) 🙂
Thanks for the great pattern! My first hat, and it works:) just one question: what does this mean: “[Corrected 1/5/10]”???
I’ll translate it into hungarian and publish on my blog, if you’re agree – with a link back, of course!
orsi
OK, I’m an idiot, it was a date 😀 😀 😀
but I was so strongly trying to figure out, what kind of abbrevation it was 😀
Of course, you’re welcome to translate and repost it. I’m glad you like it. 😉
Have you ever thought of doing a step by step video for youtube. I have tried this and I am not doing so good. I am not good at reading patterns, I do better with visual aids lol. Just a thought. I have a friend who reads patterns and she says she will help me. love the hat.
Sorry if it’s hard to follow…I’m not an expert at crochet, so am probably even less of one at writing down patterns!
Nice reworking of a ripple pattern! I made this in cotton worsted with an H hook for a friend’s new baby – a bit big, but they grow so quickly I wanted it to last more than a couple of weeks. I found that 17 rows was rather long, made it in 14 rows, and turned up the bottom to make an adorable pointed brim!
For Margo, I don’t know where you can get free supplies but there are bzillions of knitting needles and crochet hooks for sale on ebay cheap. Yarn too. Some of them are estate sales. Good luck!
does the pattern apply to maureen’s or your pattern to follow? just askin
I saw a previous post saying they had an issue with putting round 7 on round 6, but I didn’t see a response. It doesn’t match up at all, and I really want to finish this hat. Can you help?
I have made about 60+ of your ripple hats and have gifted several church families and friends. I have made it in many different sizes including preemie. My friends and my daughter are asking me to take them to Etsy. I told them someone else (you) actually made the pattern but that I would ask you if I can do that. I would be happy to give you credit for the pattern. I don’t know how this works but I do know I would never do it without your permission. Thank you, Vickie
Hi everyone, I’m making little hats for preemies. Thanks so much for all the patterns and info. I’m just learning to crochet!
I have a friend that is looking for an older pattern by Paton’s. It was a baby outfit
called “Leaf and Lace”. Would any of you gals have this pattern?
They don’t make the Paton’s book anymore and she loved this outfit for gifts.
Can anyone help???
Hi Vickie, sorry for the late reply. Sure, you can do whatever you want with the hats you make. 🙂 Ruth
i’m sorry it must be me because i find your pattern very hard to follow. i’m very disapointed because i really think it is adorable i just can’t figure it out
Sorry; it’s my first attempt at writing down a pattern. Maybe someone at your local yarn shop could help with what you’re stuck on.
I think the problem some people are having is that they haven’t noticed that in Rnd 6 the V stitch switches from 2DC-CH2-2DC to 1DC-CH2-1DC. This change is what allows you to continue the following rows without continuing to increase. I missed it the first time around myself and had to really look at the pattern before I realized I was assuming the V stitch stayed the same when it didn’t. Hopefully, this will solve some problems. ;-D
Linda,
thank you so much for pointing this out, because this is exactly what I did and could not figure out why it was not coming out right!!!
So cute, I love the mitts and the variegated yarn you used.
I already LOVED this pattern and have made dozens of them. It is my go to hat because it is good for boys or girls but is fancier that just a plain hat for boys. I made 3 today. But. I am going to start one over using Maureen’s revision. The third one I used her revision and it just makes sense! Made a perfect pattern even better!! Thank you both!
