This crochet shell stitch baby hat pattern is given in one size to fit a newborn. It is worked up in a bulky yarn, so it works up quick and easy, and is nice and cozy as well.
The shell stitch used here is also called a double v-stitch. It’s a bit lacy, but still solid enough to provide warmth for the newborns in cool transitional weather.
This shell hat pattern is available in one size only. However, for a larger hat you could try substituting double crochet stitches for the half double stitches.
This crochet crunch stitch scarf pattern is worked slightly differently than the normal version of the crunch stitch, giving it a pretty stitched design on one side of the crocheted scarf.
Here is a cute child’s bag for small toys and trinkets. It might also make for a cute gift bag for small children’s books, or for the teacher. And, if you make the straps longer, you could also use this as a handy purse for your phone and keys. Just make sure to line it…
This crochet shoulder bag features a pretty lace that you’ll enjoy working with. Plus, it’s a fairly nice size making it great for just about every need.

Could you be a bit more specific? Rnd 3 increases the crown, but after rnd 3 it should begin to curl up into a hat shape. Let me know and we can go from there. :)
Love this! I have been looking for this pattern for a while. Thank you for sharing. How can I make this larger for a toddler? Also, what would the changes be for using worsted weight yarn?
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am going to have a baby girl in a few months and would love to make this for her. Do you think this would be the right size for a new born? Thanks again! Victoria
I have been looking for a pattern very simerliar to this. My grandmother made one close to this for me and my sister we wore these to church, this was many years ago. I wanted to make this for my granddaughters. I think I can figure out how to do it.
how many chains do you begin with to begin?
Start off with 4 chains. The hat is started at the top and worked down. Let me know if you run into any probs.
I can not get this hat to take shape. As soon as I start round 3 using the shell stitch, the hat loses its shape. What am I doing wrong?

Cheryl, I’m going to work on it and hopefully have something for you in a few weeks. Thanks so much for your patience.
Round 3: the instructions don’t make sense. When you say shell, is that defined as steps in row 2 “hdc twice in each chain space?”
Shell is defined under Special Stitches: (2 hdc, ch 1, 2 hdc) in ch 1 space.
