Hi, Bobbi Paulson here with Crochet Guru, and today I'm going to show you how to crochet this baby ribbon hat
And then in the next video that will be coming out next week on Wednesday
I'm going to show you how to crochet the ribbon booties that match the hat
So again, make sure to watch for that video that will be coming out next week
Okay, so the hat that I'll be showing you today is made for a 0-3 month baby
with a head circumference of 12-14 inches. The materials needed to make this hat, some soft worsted weight yarn, and I used Red Heart Love brand
So as you can see from the picture, there's a purple hat and a pink hat
For the purple hat, I used Lilac and Soft White, and for the pink hat, I used Perfect Pink and Soft White
And I used about a half a skein of yarn for both colors. You're going to need a size A shaped hook, or a 5mm hook, a stitch marker
you're going to need some ribbon, and you're going to want that to be 5-8ths of an inch wide
and make sure when you pick your ribbon that it matches your hat. You're going to need a yarn needle
Now the lighter is optional, and I use it to fill my ribbon
and I'm going to show you how to do that later in this video. You're going to need some thread and a thread needle, so just make sure your thread matches your ribbon
And then lastly, you're going to want some scissors. Now if you'd rather follow the written instructions rather than the video
I have a link in the description box below, and that will take you to my website where this pattern is
Ok, so before we start, just realize that the chain 3 in the beginning of each round will count as a double crochet
Ok, so for round 1, we're going to start with color A, and in this video I'm going to use the color Lilac
We're going to start with a magic ring. We're going to chain 3, which is our first double crochet
We'll be working 9 double crochets into the ring, pull to enclose
and then slip stitch into our first double crochet to join. And this will be a total of 10 double crochets
I'm going to start out by using the magic circle, or magic ring
and if you don't know how to do this, go to the description box below
and there I'll have a link to my video tutorial on how to do this. Now go ahead and chain 3, and remember this is going to be our first double crochet
Now we're going to work 9 double crochets into our ring. So yarn over, insert your hook into your ring
yarn over again, pull through the first 2 loops, then pull through the last 2 loops
and we'll go ahead and do this 8 more times. So this will be your 3rd double crochet, just because we're counting the chain
This is your 4th double crochet. Your 5th. 6th
7th. And this is 8th. And then your 9th double crochet into the ring
Now go ahead and pull your ring closed. And now we're going to locate our first chain, insert your hook, and place a slip stitch
Moving on to round 2, we're going to chain 3, we're going to take 2 double crochets in each double crochet around
and then slip stitch into our first double crochet to join. Now before we start round 2, go ahead and grab your stitch marker
and place it into that last stitch that we just made. Okay, so starting on round 2, we're going to chain 3
We're now going to place 2 double crochets in each double crochet around
Now because our chain 3 counts as our first double crochet, we're only going to add 1 more double crochet to this first stitch
So this double crochet will be considered our 2nd double crochet into this first stitch
Now go ahead and continue placing 2 double crochets into each stitch around
So there's 1. And there's 2. And that's in the 2nd stitch
And place another 2 into the 3rd stitch. So there's 1. And there's 2 double crochets into the 3rd stitch
And we'll just do the same thing into the 4th stitch. So there's 1
And then 2 double crochets into the 4th. And let's do 2 more
1. And 2 into the 5th. And 1. And 2 into the 6th
And then there's 1. And 2 into the 7th. And now into the 8th, we're going to do 2 more again
And then in your 9th, do 2 more. And then in your last, in your last, in your 10th stitch, we're going to place 2 more double crochets to end
And now we're going to slip stitch into our first double crochet to join
And remember our first double crochet is that chain 3. So find the chain 3 and insert your hook into the top chain
And then slip stitch into that top chain to join. Also, before moving on to the next round, just make sure that you have 20 double crochets
For round 3, we're going to chain 3, and then we're going to double crochet into the next double crochet
and then place 2 double crochets into the next double crochet. And then we'll repeat this all the way around, and then slip stitch into the first double crochet to join
Okay, so just remember before we start round 3, just move your stitch marker up to the very last stitch that we just made
Okay, so starting on round 3, we're going to chain 3. So there's 3 chains
And now remember that this first chain counts as our first double crochet
and so because of that, we don't need to place another double crochet into this first stitch
So we're going to slip back, and we're going to place 2 double crochets into the next double crochet
So there's 1. And then 2 double crochets into that second stitch
Now we're going to repeat this pattern 9 more times for a total of 10
So place 1 double crochet into the next stitch, and then place 2 into the next stitch
So there's 1. And then 2. And 2
And then place 1 double crochet into the next stitch, and then 2 into the next
So there's 1. 2. Okay, so I'm going to let you finish this round on your own
so pause the video now, and I will meet you back here to finish this round
Just make sure you have 30 double crochets and you get finished with this round
Okay, so to finish this round, we're going to split stitch into the first double crochet to join
And again, remember that the chain is our first double crochet. Okay, so I'm going to let you read round 4 on your own, and then we'll go ahead and get started
Alright, so move your stitch marker up to the last stitch made
and again, we're going to chain 3. And now we're going to place 1 double crochet into the next 2 double crochets
So the chain will count as your first double crochet, and so we'll just place 1 more double crochet into the next stitch
Okay, so now we're going to place 2 double crochets into the next double crochet
So there's 1. And there's 2 double crochets into that next stitch
So let's repeat that same pattern 9 more times for a total of 10
So in the next 2 stitches, we're going to place 1 double crochet. So there's your first
and in the next stitch, place another double crochet. And now place 2 double crochets in this next stitch
So there's your first double crochet, and then your second into that next stitch
And then just keep repeating this pattern. So in the next 2 stitches, only place 1 double crochet
and then in the third, place 2. So there's 1, and 2
Okay, so I'm going to let you finish off this round on your own, and I'm going to keep out here to start round 5
Okay, so moving on to rounds 5 through 8, we're not going to be chaining 3 anymore
and instead we're just going to place a front cross stitch in each stitch around
And if you're not familiar with the front cross stitch, we're going to skip the next stitch, double crochet into the next stitch
working around the front of the last stitch made, we're going to double crochet into the skipped stitch
And I'm going to show you how to do that. Okay, so starting on round 5, I'm going to bring out my stitch marker for the last stitch I just made
Now remember, for rounds 5 through 8, we're not going to be chaining 3
but instead we're going to front cross stitch in each stitch around instead
So yarn over the hook, and place your first double crochet into the second stitch
So this means we'll be skipping the first stitch where our stitch marker is located
and placing our first double crochet into the second stitch. So yarn over, and insert your hook
and place your first double crochet into that second stitch. Now what we'll do is work to the front, and around that double crochet we just made
and place our next double crochet into the stitch where our stitch marker is located
And this is our first front cross stitch made. So now let's go ahead and do that again
So we're going to skip the next stitch, and place a double crochet from the second stitch from our hook
So again, bring your hook to the front, and around our last double crochet we just made
and place the next double crochet into our skipped stitch. And there's your second front cross stitch
Okay, so let's do this again. Yarn over, and place your next double crochet into the second stitch from your hook
Yarn over again, and place your next double crochet into the skipped stitch
Okay, so I'm going to do this a couple more times with you. So skip the next stitch, and place a double crochet
and then working around that double crochet, place another double crochet into the skipped stitch
Then we'll do it again. Skip the next stitch, place another double crochet
and then place another double crochet into the skipped stitch. Okay, so I'm going to let you continue working on this round on your own
but I will be back to show you how to finish this round before moving on
Okay, so now what we're going to do before finishing this round is we're going to slip stitch into the first double crochet to join
So I took my stitch marker out to make this easier, and now I'm going to locate the first stitch that I made in this round
insert my hook, and then place a slip stitch to join. All else, I'm going to let you finish round 6-8 on your own
and remember they're done the exact same way as our last round, and that was round 5
So if you need help, go back to the 8 minute and 43 second mark
and just follow round 5 again. Now that round 6-8 is finished, we need to fasten off this section of the hat
So locate your first stitch that you made in this round, insert your hook into the stitch, run over and pull through the stitch
and now pull through the loop on your hook, and now we're going to fasten the hat off
So go ahead and take your scissors, cut the yarn using a few winches
and pull that tail end of yarn through the loop on your hook, and then just tighten that up to fasten
Alright, so this is what your hat should be looking like. Moving on to round 9, we're going to attach color B
single crochet in each stitch around, and then slip stitch into the first single crochet to join
Now we're going to attach color B, and again I'm using soft white for My Heart Love
so go ahead and make a slip knot, and then attach the slip knot to the stitch right in front of the stitch marker
Then put your hook into the stitch in front of your stitch marker, and then pull the slip knot through the stitch
Now yarn over the hook and pull the yarn through the slip knot. Okay, so this round is going to be really easy
because all we're going to do is just single crochet around. So I'm going to do the first few single crochets with you
and then I'll let you finish up this round on your own, but just make sure you have 40 single crochets when you finish
And just a side note, the last round we did was the front cross stitch
but remember that the stitches are still the same as they would be for the regular double crochet
So we'll just single crochet around like we normally would. Okay, so go ahead and keep working on these single crochets
and I'll meet you back here to finish up this round. Okay, so let's slip stitch into the first single crochet to join
and finish up this round. So insert your hook into your first single crochet
yarn over, pull through the stitch, and do the loop on your hook
Before we move on to round 10, just know that the chain 4 counts as our first triple crochet
So for round 10 we're going to chain 4, and then triple crochet in each stitch around
And then we'll slip stitch in the first triple crochet to join. So round 10 will be really easy as well
because all we're going to do is just triple crochet in each stitch around. So to start that we're going to go ahead and chain 4
So there's 1, 2, and 3, 4 chains. And remember, these 4 chains will count as our first triple crochet
And now all we'll do is just triple crochet in each stitch around. So to do that, go ahead and yarn over 2 times
insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over and pull through the stitch
There will now be 4 loops on your hook, so yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops
and then yarn over and pull through the second 2 loops, and then yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops on your hook
to make that triple crochet. So let's do that again. Yarn over the hook 2 times
insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops
pull through the second 2 loops, then pull through the last 2 loops on your hook
to make that triple crochet. Yarn over and pull through the second 2 loops
then pull through the last 2 loops on your hook. And you're just going to keep doing this all the way around
So this will be our 4th triple crochet because we're counting our chains
Alright, so I'm going to do this next triple crochet with you, and then I'll let you keep working on these triple crochets on your own
So go ahead and pause the video now, and I'll meet you back here to finish up this round
Alright, to finish up the round, let's slip stitch into the first triple crochet to join
So find your first chain that you made, insert your hook, yarn over and pull through that chain
and then pull through the loop on your hook. And when you finish this round, just make sure you have 40 triple crochets around
Alright, so round 11 will also be really easy. All we're going to do again is just single crochet in each stitch around
Okay, so again, all we're going to do is just single crochet in each stitch around. So just locate your first stitch and place that first single crochet
And I'll do a few of these with you. So that should be your third
Your fourth. So just keep working your single crochets all the way around the hat
And this time I'm going to let you finish this round on your own by slip stitching to join
and then I'll meet you back here for round 12. Alright, so round 12 is our last round for this hat
and it is a little bit more tricky. We're going to half double crochet into the next stitch
and then double crochet into that same stitch. And then we're going to place two triple crochets into the next stitch
and then a double crochet into the next stitch with a half double crochet into the same stitch
And then we're going to slip stitch into the next stitch. And we're going to repeat this all the way around
Okay, so we're going to start out by half double crocheting into the next stitch
So locate your next stitch. Yarn over your hook and insert your hook into that next stitch
Yarn over and pull through the stitch. There will be three loops on your hook
Yarn over and pull through the last three loops on your hook. And now we're going to double crochet into the same stitch as that half double crochet
So yarn over the hook, insert your hook into that same stitch as the half double crochet
and place a double crochet. And now we're going to place two triple crochets into the next stitch
So to do this, remember to yarn over the hook two times, insert your hook into that next stitch
yarn over and pull through the stitch, yarn over and pull through the first two loops
and then yarn over and pull through the second two loops, and then yarn over and pull through the last two loops
And again, do this one more time into the same stitch. And there's our second triple crochet into that next stitch
And now go ahead and place one double crochet into the next stitch
And now we're going to place a half double crochet into the exact same stitch where we placed our double crochet
And now let's go ahead and slip stitch into the next stitch. So insert your hook into the next stitch
yarn over and pull through the stitch, and your loop on your hook
So those first set of stitches basically just created our first ruffle
So now let's repeat what we just did all the way around to create more ruffles for our hat
So again, we're going to half double crochet into the next stitch, and then we're going to place one double crochet into the exact same stitch
And now place two triple crochets into the next stitch. So there's our first triple crochet
and remember to place one more triple crochet into the same stitch. And I'm trying to go slow on purpose so that you guys can really get this
because I know there's a lot to it. So there's your second triple crochet
And then in the next stitch, place a double crochet. And in the same stitch, place a half double crochet
And in the same stitch, place a half double crochet. And now in the next stitch, place one slip stitch
Okay, so I'm going to go through this real slowly again one more time, and then I'll let you guys finish off this round
So again, let's start with a half double crochet into the next stitch
and then a double crochet into the same stitch, and then place two triple crochets into the next stitch
So there's our first triple, and then let's place a second into the same stitch. And then there's a double into the next stitch
and then a half double into that same stitch as the double. Now place a slip stitch into the next stitch
Alright, so go ahead and finish this last round on your own, and if you need any help, go to MinutesCrafts.com
and if you need any help, go to Minutes 15-57, and that way you can just keep following along with the video if that helps
Okay, so if everything went smoothly, you should have ended this round by placing a slip stitch
into the same stitch where your marker is located. And also, just make sure you have 70 stitches when you finish this round
Alright, so now it's time to fasten off our hat. So grab your scissors, and then cut the yarn, leaving about 4 or 5 inches for weaving
Now pull the tail end of yarn through the loop on your hook to fasten off. So we're going to have a lot of leftover yarn strands
so let's grab our yarn needle and weave them in. So now go ahead and start weaving in your loose ends through your hat
Now that you've stitched in all of your loose ends, now it's time to weave the ribbon in and out of our triple crochets
And remember, our triple crochets are on round pins. Now before you actually cut your ribbon
the best thing to do before you start is measure the baby's head, or just make sure to weave loosely through the hat
That way the hat won't be too tight on the baby's head. So find your triple crochets, and just start weaving your ribbon in and out of them
So what I like to do is weave under one triple crochet stitch
and then I take the ribbon and go over the top of the next two triple crochet stitches
And then I weave under one, and then I take it over two
And then I just repeat that pattern all the way along the hat. And I think it just kind of gives it a cute look
Now you can weave in your ribbon however you want. So if you feel like you have a better idea, just go with it
So I'm going to let you finish doing this, and I'll meet you back here to show you what's next
So after you get your ribbon how you want it, start sewing the ends of your ribbon together with a needle and thread
Alright, so now it's time to make our bow for our hat. And to be honest with you, I'm not really great at bow tutorials
So what I'm going to do is quickly demonstrate how I make my bow
And then I'm going to leave a couple of bow tutorial links in my description box below
So that way, if you need a better tutorial than what I'm giving you right here
go click on those links and there you'll find some better bow tutorials
So as you can see, I'm folding my ribbon several times, and each section of ribbon is just barely overlapping each other
Now you can overlap your ribbon three or four times, and I chose to do four times for this bow
So cut the end off your ribbon, grab your needle and thread
and then just stick in and out of the ribbon with your needle and thread
So when you're doing this, make sure you're only stitching in one direction
and that you're stitching through each section of ribbon. Okay, so now that I'm done stitching through the ribbon
I'm going to pull on the thread tightly, and then wrap the thread around my bow
Now let's go ahead and just stitch through that bow, and make sure it's really nice and tight and secure
Okay, so now that I'm done stitching through my ribbon, I'm going to pull on the thread tightly
and then wrap the thread around my bow. Okay, so now go ahead and just spread your bow out, and make it look pretty
So now let's take care of those tail ends. So grab your scissors and cut both of those tail ends at an angle, so that they look nice
So for this reason, it's great to have a lighter. I like to use my lighter to seal the ends of my ribbon
And if you do it lightly, it works out great, and it will keep your ribbon from fraying
So I ended up making two separate bows for my hat, and then I stitched them together, and sewed an extra piece of ribbon around the middle of both bows
So now what I'm going to do is just stitch my bow into my hat
After you stitch the bow into your hat, this is what it should be looking like
And I just wanted to show you the purple one and the pink one that I did before I go
So here's the pink one, and I just did the bow the exact same way that I did the purple
And I think it turned out pretty cute. So again, before I go, I know that bow tutorial wasn't great
so that's why I'm going to leave those links in the description box below. Thank you for watching this tutorial
and don't forget to watch the matching booties tutorial that goes along with this hat
