Toddler Beanie



Found some Caron Simply Soft yarn and fell in love with how soft it was!  I even put it up to my cheek just like my kids do with their favorite baby blankies!!  I made this hat to fit a child the size of my son, he is 15 months and barely let me put the hat on him! haha but we managed for a few seconds anyway.  All it took was 3 colors of Caron Simply Soft yarn, a G-hook, and a little bit of spare time!

Abbreviations: hdc- half double crochet   sts- stitches   slst- slip stitch  ch- chain

Row 1: 11 hdc in a magic ring, join

Row 2: ch1, 2 hdc in each stitch around, join 

Row 3: ch1, 2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in the next, around, join

Row 4: ch1, 2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in the next 2, around, join

Row 5: ch1, 2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in the next 3, around, join

Row 6: ch1, 2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in the next 4, around, join

Row 7-19: ch1, 1 hdc in each around, join

I changed colors rows 13-17 (2,1,2)

Finish off and weave in ends

This hat would be very easy to make smaller or larger, all you have to do is decrease or increase the number of 'increase' rows in the beginning of the hat.  Enjoy!!! Until next time, Happy Hooking!!
