I am so excited that the end of summer is in sight! I love the fall. One of my favorite things about the fall weather is that I can make adorable hats for my children to wear. A favorite hat has to be the ladybug hat. When I was searching for patterns I came across a few that I liked well enough, but they were not exactly what I was looking for. So with a combination of patterns, I made up my own.
Materials:
I hook (5.5mm) (I am a tight crocheter, so you might want to adjust your hook size based on your tension)
Caron Simply Soft Yarn (Black, Harvest Red)
Scissors
Needle
Patterns:
First of all, I love Repeat Crafter Me. She has so many cute designs, and her crochet beanie pattern is a staple for my own designs. She did a version of a ladybug hat here. I used her basic beanie pattern with some color changes at the top. Here is what I did.
- Using black, do the first 4 rows of the hat pattern in the size of your choice.
- Switch to red starting at row 5.
- Continue with earflaps in red.
- Sc around entire brim of hat (including earflaps) in black.
- Starting at the bottom of the black rows at the crown of the hat, surface slip st down the middle on both sides of the hat.
1. Magic circle, sc 8, do not join
2. Sc8
3. Sc8
4. 4sc decrease
5. 4sc
Continue with round 5 until antennae measures 2.5 inches
- Dots
- Ties
I use 5 strands of black, and 4 strands of red, approximately 1 yard long. Loop through the bottom of the earflap, and braid the ties to the desired length.
