I haven’t shared a free pattern in a long time! I made some baby hats for my my friend’s baby girl and shared them last week. I wanted to make something new and special so I created this newborn bow hat pattern. It’s a super easy pattern and I whipped it up in one evening. I saw something similar on Pinterest once so it was the inspiration behind this hat.
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn in two colors. I used Caron Simply Soft.
G hook
Tapestry needle
Gauge: 1st 4 rows measured from center to edge= 2 in.
Abbreviations:
Ch= chain
Dc= double crochet
Ss= slip stitch
Sc= single crochet
Instructions:
Hat
(Ch 3 does not count as a dc)
Rnd 1: In first Color: Ch 4. 10 dc in 3rd chain from hook. Join with a ss to top of first dc. (10 dc)
Rnd 2: Ch 3. 2 dc in each dc. Join with a ss to stop of first dc. (20 dc)
Rnd 3: Ch 3. (1 dc in first stitch, 2 dc in next stitch) repeat around. Join with a ss to top of first dc. (30 dc)
Rnd 4: Ch 3. (1 dc in first two stitches, 2 dc in next stitch) repeat around. Join with a ss to top of first dc. (40 dc)
Rnd 5-6: Ch 3. 1 dc in each stitch. Join with a ss to top of first dc. (40 dc)
Rnd 7: Switch to second color: Ch 3. 1 dc in each stitch. Join with a ss to top of first dc. (40 dc)
Rnd 8-9 Switch to first color: Ch 3. 1 dc in each stitch. Join with a ss to top of first dc. Weave in ends. (40 dc)
Bow
In second color: Ch 11. Turn. 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and each across.
Turn. 1 sc in each across. Repeat two more times.
Sc around entire piece. End with a slip stitch and weave in ends.
Using a long piece of yarn, pinch the center and wrap around several times until you get the desired look. Use the rest of the piece of yarn to stitch to the hat on top of the colored stripe.

Dear Christine,
Very excited to have just found your site thru Pinterest. Would you consider making a pattern for a baby hat from a picture I saw online?
