Toddler Crochet Hat Beanie

Materials

– 1 skein medium worsted weight (4). I like Vanna’s Choice, but Red Heart is good too.

– small ruler for determining length and measuring size

If you would like to add the flower, you can find the pattern for that HERE.

                        

hdc= half double crochet (yarn over, insert hook, yarn over and pull back through. There are 3 hooks on loop, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops)

Gauge: a 4 inch square is 9 rows x 11 stitches

OLDER KIDS SIZES

*For my 3 year old I made the hat with the women’s small size.  I used the Red Heart Shimmer yarn which is finer than the worsted weight and worked up a bit smaller than the Vanna’s Choice or Red Heart, so that is why it worked for my 3 year old.  The hat is 7 inches long and 8.5 inches wide at the widest point.

* For my 6 year old, I used the womens small size as well and used the Red Heart with Love yarn.  His hat measured 7.5 inches long and 9 inches wide.

Please note, my children are very tall for their ages!
