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.

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.
