I've been working on some more hats for the kids. The yellow and purple hats above are caps that I just designed as a I went. The purple cap with the ribbon I'm calling "Ava". The pattern is below. It's not tested, but it's fairly simple. Feel free to make it for personal or charity use.

Hi Amanda,
That one I just sort of made up as I went. It's very basic. I used all HDC increasing each row till I got the size I wanted. Then for the last row I alternated a hdc with a front-post hdc and finished up with a row of reverse single.

Hope that helps.
:)

I finally finally found the pattern for that pink hat (which is good because I want to make more!)

It is Auntie M's design - A Rose is a Rose hat!

You can find it on-line here:

I have looked everywhere for the pattern to the crochetgoddess spring into Winter hat, you have pictured. I cannot find it. Can you please tell me where I can get that pattern

I have started the Ava hat, just beautiful, but I am on row 13 and I do not know what the term "bpdc in next 2 stitche" means...I am new to crochet, doing very well, until this term...thank you Linda

Blogger Wormie said...

Hi Linda!
I hope you check back for the answer! BPDC is "back post double crochet" It is just like a double crochet, but instead of working in the top of the stitch, you work around the post of the stitch going from the front around the back. You're probably reading that and wondering what the heck I'm talking about, so look at this website for a better explanation.

Hi,
I've looked everywhere for the "A rose is a rose" hat. It seems the website is with the pattern is no longer available. Do you happen to have the pattern?

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry Kathleen, if the link doesn't work, I suppose its not available any longer - which is really sad because I love that hat!
If I do find it somewhere online, I'll post another link, but if the designer took it down, I guess it's no longer available :(

For those of you looking for the "A Rose Is A Rose" crochet hat pattern (copyright 2003 by Auntie M's free crochet patterns), you can still find it by going to Auntie M's free crochet patterns, click on free patterns, then scroll past the baby patterns to about the second or third box down. There you will find A Rose Is A Rose hat. The lettering is hard to read (blue on black background), but it's still there in the archives. I just printed another copy. Hope this helps.

Thank you, Donna!
I couldn't find my copy, and I really love that pattern!!
