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.

I am thrilled to have Marie Segares back with us from Underground Crafter. On Monday we got to enjoy the Little Dots Coaster pattern, and today she is sharing some of her best work with us all. Best part is that all her beautiful designs are available for free. My name is Marie Segares, and…
Winter has not been as harsh this year, but still, we’ve had quite a few days where the temperature drops well into the minus. And so, to help us keep warm on those days, here are some warm winter headbands to crochet. Crochet ear warmers are a great alternative to hats. They are also perfect…
This cup cozy is worked up in two colors and is turned after certain rounds to create a different texture and design. Here is a quick and easy gift idea for your last-minute holiday gifts. It’ll go well with the crochet dishcloth pattern I did using the same stitch, but in a slightly different color…
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.
