Baby knit beanie pattern

Knitting the ribbing of baby beanie:

Begin at bottom edge. Cast on 68 stitches for the hat. Any cast on method you know can be used here.

Round 1: Begin with rib 2 by 2 *knit 2, purl 2* keep repeating till the end of round. Repeat Round 1 until piece will be 4-4.5 cm (measuring from the edge).

Knitting the body of baby beanie:

Continue knitting in stockinette stitch until the piece measure 13-14 cm from the edge. From this point we start decreasing the hat.

If you are using circular needles, divide all your stitches in 4 and place markets. In case you are using double pointed needles as I am, we are going to decrease from the beginning and at the end of each needle.

Round 1: *k2tog, 13k, k2tog, repeat from* to end of round.

Round 2: knit in stockinette stitch.

Round 3: *k2tog, 11k, k2tog, repeat from* to end of round.

Round 4: knit in stockinette stitch.

Round 5: *k2tog, 9k, k2tog, repeat from* to end of round.

Round 6: knit in stockinette stitch.

Round 7: *k2tog, 7k, k2tog, repeat from* to end of round.

Round 8: knit in stockinette stitch.

Round 9: *k2tog, 5k, k2tog, repeat from* to end of round.

Round 10: knit in stockinette stitch.

Round 12: knit in stockinette stitch.

Round 13: *k2tog, 1k, k2tog, repeat from* to end of round.

Round 14: knit in stockinette stitch.

Cut yarn leaving 10 cm tail. Use hook or tapestry needle to pull yarn tail through the last remaining stitches. Pull tight to close the hole. Hide the tail inside of the hat and weave it in into the backside of our stitches.

Baby beanie is ready.

Crochet triple layer flower pattern

My idea was to make a massive flower that’s why I decided to crochet with 2 strands of yarn at the same time. I didn’t have the second ball so I was using technique where you hold yarn that comes from the outside with the yarn that comes from the center.

I am using 3 mm hook.

Round 1: 16 sc into magic ring. Pull tight to get rid of the hole.

Round 2:  ch3 (count as dc), *ch2, skip next 2sc, dc, ch2, repeat from * to end of round, sl st with 3d st of ch3.

Round 3: *sc, 4dc, sc* all in 2 ch space – first petal. Repeat same pattern all way around until you get 7 petals.

If you like the flower then you can stop at this point, but if you want more layers please continue crocheting following the pattern.

This round we are going to work behind 3d round.

Round 4: go underneath first spoke and make a sl st, ch 3, *go underneath the neхt spoke and make sc, ch3 – repeat from * all way around until you get 7 ch3 spaces. Slip stitch into beginning chain.

Round 5: *sc, 6dc, sc* all in 3 ch space – first petal. Repeat same pattern all way around until you get 7 petals.

Round 6: go underneath first spoke and make a sl st, ch 4, *go underneath the neхt spoke and make sc, ch4 – repeat from * all the way around until you get 7 ch4 spaces. Slip stitch into beginning chain.

Round 7: *sc, 8dc, sc* all in 4 ch space – first petal. Repeat same pattern all the way around until you get 7 petals. For those of you who likes the schemes here is one as well.

Three layers flower is ready. Sew the flower to the hat and decorate the center of the flower with a rabbit or a bear. If you have something other in your mind as a decoration – feel free to do so.
