Day at the Beach Infant Hat

Earlier I posted the formula that I used for the Day at the Beach blanket.


Here is the pattern for the matching cap.


Day at the Beach Infant Hat by Wormie


I used small amounts of Bernat Baby Coordinates in yellow and blue (like a day at the beach), but any 2 colors of any baby weight yarn will do.G Hook.


With main color:

Chain 4, join to first chain with slip stitch to form a loop


1) Chain 3 (counts as first DC here and throughout), 9 dc in loop, slip stitch to top of beginning chain 3 (10 dc)


2) Chain 3, dc in same stitch, 2 dc around, slip stitch to top of beginning chain 3 (20 dc)


3) Chain 3, dc in same stitch, * 1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch*, repeat ** around ending with one dc, slip stitch to top of beginning chain 3 ( 30 dc)


4) Chain 3, dc in same stitch, * 1 dc in next 2 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch*, repeat ** around ending with one dc, slip stitch to top of beginning chain 3 ( 40 dc)


5-7) Chain 3, dc in each stitch around, slip stitch to top of beginning chain (40 dc)


8) Chain 1, turn, sc in back loop only all the way around, slip stitch to first stitch to join


9) chain 1, sc through both loops all the way around, join with slip stitch to first stitch, change to color B.With Color B:


10) chain 1 *sc in first 3 stitches, hdc in next stitch, dc in next stitch, tc in next 3 stitches, hdc in next stitch, dc in next stitch* repeat ** around (3 times). This will form a brim of 4 waves.

I just found this website and have a son "not by blood but calls mom" that is now in San Diego for infantry school. His baby is 5 days old but he has yet to be able to see him of course....I love the idea of the Marine Corps Kids and would love to start sending my donations to you all.....I see that there is a Beach hat but do you know where I can get the pattern for the afghan? Thanks for all the great help and ideas. Tonya

Hi Tonya!
Congratulations on the new baby!!

The afghan was made by modifying an existing pattern from Lion Brand. You can find the formula I used to make it here.
