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.

Round 1: Ch 4, join. Ch 3, make 13 DC in loop, join. (14 DC counting Ch 3)

Round 2: Ch 3, DC in starting st, Ch 2, 2 DC in next st, *2 DC in next st, Ch2, 2 DC in nxt st* (V-stitch), 5 more times. Join at 3rd ch of starting Ch3. (7 V-stitches)

Round 3: Sl St in nxt st and in first V-stitch space, Ch 3, DC-Ch2-2DC in same space. *2DC-Ch2-2DC in next V-stitch space* six times; join at 3rd ch of starting Ch3.

Round 4: Sl St to st before V-stitch, Ch 3, 2DC-Ch2-2DC in V-space, DC in next st, *skip 2 st, DC in next st, 2DC-Ch2-2DC in V-space, DC in next st* six times; join at 3rd ch of starting Ch 3.

Round 5: Sl St in first st, Ch 3, DC in next st, 2DC-Ch2-2DC in V-space, DC in next 2 st, *skip 2 st, DC in next 2 st, 2DC-Ch2-2DC in V-space, DC in next 2 st* six times; join at 3rd ch of starting Ch3.

Round 6: Sl St in 1st, Ch 3 in 2nd st, DC in next 2 st, DC-Ch2-DC in V-space, DC in next 3 st, *skip 2 st, DC in next 3 st, DC-Ch2-DC in V-space, DC in next 3 st* six times; join at 3rd st of starting Ch3.

Rounds 7-16: Repeat Round 6 ten more times. [Corrected 1/5/10]

Round 17: Ch 1, SC in next 3 st, 2SC-Ch2-2SC in V-space, SC in next 4 st, *skip 2 st, SC in next 4 st, SC-Ch2-SC in V-space, SC in next 4 st* six times; join.

Take care:)))))))

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.

Very cute! Do you know how this can be adapted to a teen/adult size?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
