Darla Crochet Heart Baby Beanie

Darla Crochet Heart Baby Beanie

Create this adorable baby heart beanie! So cute for little ones! I’m expecting a baby in July and cannot stop making these sets! Just adorable!

The beanie uses a size H hook and medium worsted weight yarn in 2 colors and follows a simple easy to follow pattern.

The heart appliqué is crocheted separately than sewn on.

The final beanie measure 5.5″ wide and 5 3/4″ tall. Make it a set with my matching baby Darla heart bootie pattern HERE.

 

Materials:

H hook, 5.00 mm

Medium worsted weight yarn in 2 colors

Blunt needle

Abbreviations:

ch- chain

dc- double crochet

sl st- slip stitch

st(s)- stitch(es)

 

 

Pattern: 

Magic ring, Ch 2

10 dc in circle sl st to join, ch 2

Row 1: 2 dc in each st around, sl st to join (20).

Row 2: Ch 2, *2 dc, dc,* repeat from * around, sl st to join (30).

Rows 4-5: Ch 2, dc in each st around (40).

Finishing:

On last row, insert your hook in the stitch to the right in stead of the left. Continue to sc as usual but you will be working around from right to left instead of left to right. This creates a beautiful edging, also known as the crab stitch. Sl st in last st and fasten off. Weave in all ends.
