Easy Kids Crochet Beanie Hats

In a previous post, 'Easy Crochet Beanie Hat', I mentioned that I was crocheting not only a hat for myself, but also for my girls, Seren & Carys.

Here are their New Beanie Hats

How cute are these. They only change I made to the Original pattern was the loop edges, and changing up the double crochet stitches and using single crochets too. Also adding a spiral tassel on two of the hats. I will post the pattern for them too. You can also add, a cute crochet flower and button to pretty them up :)

Just remember to measure first, as you may have to drop a couple of stitches past row 6, depending on your child's head circumference

The options are endless, it just takes a little imagination :)

My Original Pattern for the Beanie Hat - HERE

Pattern for tassels:

ch = chain

sc= single crochet

Long Tassel: Ch 31 loosely. 3sc in 2nd ch from hook, 3sc in each ch to end of row-- 90 sc. Fasten off, weave ends into the top of your beanie.

Medium Tassel: ch 26 loosely, 3sc in 2nd ch from hook, 3sc in each ch to end of row -- 75 sc. Fasten off, weave ends into the top of your beanie.

Small Tassel: ch 21 loosely, 3sc in 2nd ch from hook, 3sc in each ch to end of row -- 75 sc. Fasten off, weave ends into the top of your beanie.

1920's style Girls Beanie Hat

Fits ages 1 - 2 yr old.

I threaded a skein of yarn through every other double crochet stitch. I added a crochet flower with loops and a button, and a looped edge.

This hat fits a 1 - 2 (maybe a 3 yr old. At a stretch)

On this Beanie, I added some extra small rows towards the front/side of hat, then you lift that flap of extra stitches up and attach a crochet flower with a button to hold in place. Crochet some tassels and add to top of hat!!! Adorable

Tassel Beanie.

This hat fits my Nearly 4 yr old, with room to grow. I kept this simple, as Seren doesn't like too much fuss on her head at the moment as you will see in a picture further down LOL
