Crochet baby girl spring hat pattern
This type of cap you can crochet with help of the scheme that are widely available in the Internet. For the crocheting I used white color threads Yarn Art Jeans (55% cotton and 45% acrylic).
– Chain 5 and slip stich (sl st) into 1st chain. Then make chain 3 (ch) – count it as 1 double crochet (dc) and make another 13 dc into the center, finish it with sl st in the 3rd chain;
– Make chain 3, then one more chain and dc in the same loop where we have chain 3, *ch1, dc in the next loop, ch1, (dc, ch1, dc) in the next loop. Repeat crocheting from * for 5 times, ch1, dc in the next loop, ch1 and sl st in the 3rd chain, and one more sl st in the arc of 1 chain;
– Chain 3 (count it as dc) ch1, (dc, ch1, dc) in the arc of 1 chain, * ch1, dc in the next loop, ch1, dc in the next loop, ch1 (dc, ch1, dc) in the arc of 1 chain. Repeat crocheting from * for 5 times, ch1, dc, ch1, sl st in the 3rd chain and one more sl st in the arc of 1 chain;
– Chain 3 (count it as dc) ch1, dc in the next loop, ch1 (dc, ch1, dc) in the arc of 1 chain, * ch1, dc in the next loop – 3 times, ch1 (dc, ch1, dc) in the arc of 1 chain.
Repeat crocheting from * for 5 times, ch1, dc, ch1 and sl st in the 3rd chain and one more sl st in the arc of 1 chain. This way you get enlargement of the bottom part of the cap. Keep enlarging it till you reach necessary diameter. During this step (enlargement) particularly important to match combination (dc, ch1, dc) with the same combination of previous row.
In order to understand which diameter of the cap you need, please measure the head of the kid in the widest place and divide it by Pi number (3.14). If you want to get tighter cap then deduct 3-5 cm from your initial measurement and divide the result by Pi number (3.14). In this example diameter of the bottom part of the cap is 14 cm.
After bottom part of the cap is ready – keep crocheting the cap without additions, e,g, repeat the last row (with additions) number of times to reach necessary depth of the cap. In this example it’s close to 17 cm. Finish crocheting the cap with 5 rows of single crochet (sc).
Final depth of the cap is 19 cm. Decorate cap rim with the thread of same color with a flower. Master class of the flower you can check below.
Crochet flower pattern
One of the main decors of this crochet hat was a flower (scheme is also widely available in the internet). To crochet flower for the hat you need 3 colors of Yarn Art Jeans – white, blue and bright turquoise, or any other that have a good match.
Start crocheting middle part with bright turquoise yarn. In the first round chain 8 and sl st into 1st chain. Then make chain 4 (count them as a treble crochet (trc)), then crochet * ch1, trc, then repeat from * for 13 more times. In total, in the end of the 1st row, you will get 15 trc. Finish the row with ch1 and sl st in the 4th chain.
Second round – ch1, sc in each loop of previous row (as well as in ch1 and in trc). Finish the row with sl st in ch1.
Third round – (change the color from bright turquoise to white) – ch1, *sc, sc, chain 6, double treble crochet (dtc) in the next loop, dtc in the next loop, chain 6, 2 sc, repeat crocheting from * for 4 times. Finish the row with sl st in ch1.
Fourth round – ch1, *sc, then crochet everything in the arc of chain 6 – sc, half double crochet (hdc), 4 dc, 4 trc, dtc, then crochet picot (picot – chain 3) and continue crocheting in the next chain 6 by using opposite order – dtc, 4 trc, 4 dc, hdc, sc, sc in the next loop. Repeat crocheting from * for 4 times. Finish the row with sl st in ch1.
Fifth round – (change the color from white to blue) – ch1, now we start working with loops that were crocheted in the arc of chain 6, *sc in previous hdc, 5 sc (in the previous dc and 1 trc), 4 hdc (in the previous 3 trc and 1 dtc), 2 hdc, chain 2, 2 hdc in picot of chain 3, 4 hdc (in the previous 1 dtc and 3 trc), 6 sc (in the previous 1 trc, 4 dc and 1 hdc). Repeat crocheting from * for 4 times and finish the row with sl st in ch1.
Sixth round – (change the color from blue to bright turquoise), start the circle with huge sc that is crocheted as usual sc, but through the ch1 of the 1st round.
* Now crochet 8 sc starting from 2nd sc of previous round, 3 dc, (2 dc, picot, 2 dc) – in the arc of chain 2 of the previous round, 3 dc, 8 sc and huge sc through the ch1 of the 1st round. Repeat crocheting from * for 4 times and finish it with sl st.
Decorate the flower with beads and sew it to the cap!
