Puff Stitch Crochet Baby Beanie

September 2, 2016 · Rhelena · 2 Comments

This crochet baby beanie is designed to fit a 6 month old baby, but can be adjusted for other sizes as well. It features a pretty puff stitch to give you lots of textures along the side of the crochet beanie.

This crochet beanie is suitable for both baby boys and for baby girls. It works up quick, making it great for baby shower gifts. It is shown here in a solid white, but why not try it in two or more colors to match a variety of outfits.

The Stitch Pattern

This crochet baby hat pattern is started at the crown and worked down. The crown is worked simply with half double crochets. Then for the body, the puff stitch is worked in between rounds of single crochet stitches.

The pattern is only a three row repeat, making it easy to remember.

The Size

Although it’s designed for a 6 month old, you could basically crochet this for any size by increasing the crown and doing more repeats of the rounds. Here is a Crochet Hat Size Chart by Age to help take the guesswork out if you can’t take measurements.

The Recommended Yarn

I used Vanna’s Choice, which is a medium worsted weight yarn. It is not a baby yarn, but it is soft enough for a baby’s skin. But, as with most of my patterns, the hat could be crocheted with just about any baby yarn. You’d just need to make necessary changes to the diameter to accommodate a thinner or thicker yarn.

    crocheting your puff stitch baby beanie, having trouble with row 8. Have finished row 7, have 25 hdc and 25 puff sts. On row 7 I have a total of 67 stitches, note says do not crochet into ch 1 made to close the puff stitch. Please help me to understand the difference. thank you so much for your help

      Hi Karen, I’m not sure how you ended up with 67 sts (I’m guessing that’s your count at rnd 8, and you might have worked into the closing ch-1 sps of Rnd 7?).

      If you have 25 hdc and 25 puff sts at round 7, then you are on the right track. So at rnd 7 when you make the puff sts, you make a ch-1 to secure the puff st. This ch-1 does not count as a st, and thus is skipped in Rnd 8. You could place a stitch marker into a few of the ch-1’s to help you see where they are, thus making it easier to skip them in Rnd 8.

      Let me know if that helps or not. :)
