BREEZYBOT NEWBORN PIXIE HAT
5mm hook
For subtle stripes, crochet this hat in all back loops, or alternate rows (eg - crochet odd rows in back loops, even rows in front loops)
Ch 55, turn
R 1 - Starting in 3rd ch from hook, dc 52, ch 3, turn (you may wish to change color here)
Rd 2-9 - dc 35 (skipping the last 17, which will be the chin strap), ch 3, turn
Fold in half so it forms a square, "right" side in. Slip stitch or whip stitch up the back seam, then tie off and weave in ends
Sew a button on the corner opposite the chin strap.
As requested, here's an example of the back seam when connected by a whip stitch.
I basically just hold the two sides together and, using a yarn needle and the tail of the last row (18" tail is more than enough), sew the back loops of each set of stitches together, going through the loops, over the top, through the loops.... You should get something pretty flat and even.
Slip stitching is a bit quicker for me, but it leaves a ridge so I usually do it on the inside and turn it inside out. It's really up to you how you like to finish it off! <:

I just crocheted it and it looks adorable. I will be doing newborn photos this week and will give it a try for size then. :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! If you're willing to share, I'd love to see the photos! :)
ReplyDeleteI just whipped this up in less than half an hour! The kids were taking a nap and I was a little bored with no orders to do today so I searched around on the net for something cute and I came across this. It was so quick and easy to understand. Thanks for this adorable free pattern.
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome! So glad you found it quick and easy! :)
ReplyDeleteI just whipped this hat up for my Sis-in-law who was looking for one for her newborn niece. I didn't make the chin strap, but did braids instead and it's SO cute! No pattern issues at all!
ReplyDeleteSo how do you crochet it without the chin strap?
ReplyDeleteHi! To make it without the chin strap, start with:
ReplyDeleteCh 38
R 1 - Starting in 3rd ch from hook, dc 35, ch 3, turn (you may wish to change color here)
Rd 2-9 - dc 35, ch 3, turn
Finish off as described in the pattern (other than the button, of course!) :)

Is there any way you could give me the finished dimensions when folded flat? I crochet a little loose and my items always end up much larger than intended when using patterns. Thanks!!
DeleteSure! It ends up being a rectangle, about 5.5" wide (front to back) and 5" high (top to bottom). Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway someone can post a picture of what the back looks like after the whip stitch?
ReplyDeleteHi! Yes, I added a pic of the whip stitch above. It's hard to see the actual stitching (which is the point!), but there are a ton of tutorials online to show different stitching techniques! :) Hope that helps!
DeleteVery cute!Maybe i'll make one tonight!
ReplyDeleteI am new to crocheting and this was easy and quick. And adorable! I love it! Cutest hat ever!
ReplyDeleteEek! I've had request during photo shots for hats in different colors, but I cannot afford to spend $30 a piece to get different styles of one hat, so I am SUPER glad I found your pattern. THANK YOU! When I use them I will share the photos. :)
