Crochet Christmas Ornament Baby Hat

I have patterns for this hat in two sizes - 0-3 months and 3-6 months, The yarn I made it with is probably a bit scratchy but I thought maybe the hats could just be used for photo shoots, or the baby could wear one of those thin little jersey knit hats underneath. I had the sparkly Christmas yarn and I wanted to use it up!



Abbreviations

Ch - chain
St - stitch
Sc - single crochet
Dc - double crochet
Hdc - half double crochet
Sl st - slip stitch
BL - back loops
Rnd - round
Rep - repeat

0-3 months

Hat base

Rnd 1 - Create magic ring, ch 2, dc 9 in magic ring, sl st to close. (9) Here is a good magic ring tutorial.
Rnd 2 - Ch 2, 2 dc in each dc, (18) sl st
Rnd 3 - Ch 2, *2 dc in first dc, dc in next dc, rep from * around, (27) sl st
Rnd 4 - Ch 2, *2 dc in first dc, dc in next 2, rep from * around, (36) sl st

Loop for ornament topper

Hook onto center of ornament topper and begin a chain (6 st). Attach end of chain to center of topper as well. Now, begin to sc over the chain until you have a nice, tight row of sc stitches forming the loop, as shown in the picture.



Sew the topper onto the top of hat, stuffing as you go.

3-6 months

Rnds 1-4 - Use rounds from 0-3 month pattern. (36)
Rnd 5 - Ch 2, *2 dc in first dc, dc in next 4, rep from * around until one stitch is left, 2 dc in that stitch, (44) sl st to close
Rnds 6-12 - Ch 2, dc around, (44) sl st
Rnd 13 - Ch 1, sc around, (44) sl st

Ornament topper

Rnd 2 - Ch 1, 2 dc in each dc, (18) sl st
Rnd 3 - Ch 1, hdc in bl around, (18) sl st
Rnd 4 - Ch 1, hdc around, (18) sl st

Loop for ornament topper

Same as 0-3 month loop, only chain 8 stitches instead of 6.

This snowflake would be really cute to sew onto the side!

Please let me know if you are confused by any of my patterns and need help! I am still new to writing them down.
