| The 3 month sized baby hat is a little large for 3 week old Rowdy. Newborn heads grow so fast that I wanted to make sure that the hat would fit when he was a month old! |
I have not designed many Crochet patterns, but I wanted to give it a shot to create something for my second son who was scheduled to arrive in February. Little Rowdy ended up being born in January, but he is still my little Love Bug and this pattern is dedicated to my newest little Valentine.
The hat pattern is given as one size only (3 months). The hearts and antennea modification could easily be applied to a larger hat base (knit or crochet) for older children or even adults. Maybe if I'm able to design more hats while Rowdy is growing I can update this pattern to include some more sizes.
Materials
- Size H (5.0 mm) Crochet Hook
- Worsted Weight Yarn - The sample is crocheted with KnitPicks Wool of the Andes Worsted Weight Yarn in Black (Coal: 11 g, 25 yards) and Red (24 g, 52 yards).
- Gauge: 15 HDC/4", 6 HDC rows /2"
- Size: 0-3 month
- Final Measurements: 14" circumference, 5" brim to crown. If the hat is too long the brim can be raised up so you can see the baby's face. Rowdy is 3-4 weeks old in these pictures.

Heart Crochet Pattern (make 2 red and 5-12 black hearts)
- Make a magic ring. CH3, In the circle 2DC, 2SC, 1 HDC, 2 sc, 2 DC. ch3 and. Slip stitch closed into the magic ring and fasten off.
- In the end, I stitched on 5 black hearts to the front of the hat and decided to leave it at that. I made a bunch of extra hearts but didn't want to have any others peeking out around the front. If you want to completely cover the hat in hearts then it will take around 10-12 black hearts.
Finishing
Stitch the red hearts hearts onto the hat and tips of each antenna.
Stitch the black hearts onto the main body of the hat. I only ended up sewing on 5 of the hearts to the front of the hat but you could make the heart dots continue around the entire hat if desired.
Rowdy (3 weeks old in most of the pictures) is more than happy to show off his new hat... while he is sleeping. He's otherwise not the biggest fan of hats. His head size is currently 14" around and there is plenty of space for him to grow into the hat. I know that we will use it a lot this winter as the weather dips into polar vortex levels.
This design is dedicated to Rowdy, but I have one more shout out to give today. Happy Birthday, Keith! Lucky and Rowdy are lucky to be your little love bugs.
