Crochet Puppy Hat Pattern - Repeat

Crafter Me

Ask and you shall receive! I’ve had many requests for a puppy hat from my
Facebook readers over the past couple months so this pattern was quickly
bumped to the top of the to-do list! I also wanted to take a moment to thank
everyone who has been so kind and supportive of me and my blog. I’ve
received so many wonderful comments and e-mails lately. Thank You! It
really means a lot to me and keeps me motivated to keep on crafting and
crocheting!

Before we begin let me remind you of some basic directions you

should follow while crocheting my hats:
– Always start your rounds in the same stitch as your chain.
– Always join your rounds to the first DC, NOT the chain.
– Your last stitch should be in the stitch before your chain.
– Do NOT count the chain 2 as a stitch.
(You can find pictures of how to start and join your rounds HERE)

Materials:

– Vanna’s Choice yarn: I used Oatmeal for the base of the hat. Rust, Pink
and Dusty Blue for accent colors on the hats in the pictures displayed.
Chocolate Brown for nose and mouth and White to sew the button eyes on
and in the braided tails. All yarn can be purchase at [Link]

– Two 1″ brown buttons for eyes

– Crochet hook size H-8 (5.0 mm)

– Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:

ch – chain
sl st- slip stitch
SC – Single Crochet

SC Decrease – Single Crochet Decrease

DC – Double Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet
Magic Ring – Find a great tutorial including video HERE

Gauge: 2″ across = 7 stitches, 2″ height = 4 rows

Second earflap placement: Fold hat in half leaving slightly more
stitches in the front of the hat than the back. Place the second earflap to line
up with the first earflap (between the red arrows in this picture).

Attach yarn at the tip of the earflap and being single crocheting around
entire edge of hat

Braided Tails: Cut three 1 yard strands of each color (9 strands

total). Pass through last space in earflap. You should now have 18 strands to
braid with.
Make knot and braid approx 5.5 inches long, knot, trim ends.

__________________________________________

Ears (make two of each):

Outside of Ears:Chain 6, HDC in 2nd Chain from hook, HDC across,
chain 1, turn (5 HDC)
Row 2-6: HDC across (5 HDC), chain 1, turn (This is where you could
continue Making rows of HDC’s to make the ear longer. To make the ear
wider, start with a longer chain. )
Row 7: HDC decrease, HDC, HDC decrease, continue to SC around and
when you get to the top, make two HDC decrease right before Sl St to join,
fasten off
Note: It helps to make 2 SC in each bottom corners.

Inside of Ear:
Chain 4, HDC in 2nd Ch from hook, HDC across (3 HDC), chain 1, turn
Row 2-5: HDC across (3 HDC), chain 1, turn
at the end of Row 5, continue to SC around and when you get to the top,
make two HDC decrease right before Sl St to join, fasten off

Note: It helps to make 2 SC in each bottom corners.

Sew the inside of the ear to the outside of the ear but be careful to sew only
on the inside stitches so the yarn doesn’t show through the outer ear.

Sew finished ear to hat. I placed mine at about the 3rd round.
Eye Patch:
Magic Ring, Chain 2 and make 8 HDC in ring, join to first HDC, chain 2
Round 2: 2 HDC in first two stitches, 2 DC in next 4 stitches, 2 HDC in last
two stitches, join to first HDC, fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto hat.

To make the eye patch larger, continue with Round 3 by making 2 SC or

HDC (depending on how big you want it) in each stitch around.

Want to make a puppy love hat? Crochet a heart instead of a circle for the
eye patch. I followed THIS free heart pattern but stopped after round 2.
Nose:
Chain 5, HDC in second chain from hook, HDC in next two stitches, 2 HDC
in last stitch,
now working on opposite side of chain, HDC in next 3, 2 HDC in last stitch,
fasten off leaving long tail to sew nose onto hat.
