This little cutie is my great niece who was born a few weeks early. We said a lot of prayers for her and her mommy who had to spend several weeks in the hospital before baby was born. We are thankful that she did not have to spend any time in the NICU and was able to go home after just two days!!

I LOVE this pattern!! Thank you so much for sharing! I found the adult size...do you have a pattern for toddler and child size?? Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteFor a toddler hat switch to an I hook and add one more round of increases, so Round 7 would be 2 HDC in the first stitch, 1 HDC in the next 7 stitches. Round 8 would be the start of cluster stitches and you would work clusters to round 14. Rounds 15-18 would be the rim. I will have to do a practice one for child size to see what works best.
DeleteI made this for my daughter and go so many compliments. She was the hit of the maternity ward. I am about to make it for another soon to join us baby. Let me know if you would like a picture.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if this will fit a 6 month old baby. Also wondering about the beginning cluster row, do they only have 2 stitches to a cluster or should there be 3
ReplyDeleteHave you figured out the pattern for a child size? I made the baby one for my daughter that will be here in october and I would like to make a child size for my 2 year old
ReplyDeleteAllison, did you trytmaking it for a 2 year old? Attempting that now. Wondering if adding 2 more rounds of increase and an I hook will do the trick.
DeleteRow 7: I know we start with a beginning cluster, But do the directions say to begin cluster around. Is that correct? Or do we skip a stitch and regular cluster the rest of the way around?
ReplyDeleteI have the same question....it says beg cl both times. I'm wondering if it's just a cluster???
ReplyDeleteI am trying to do the flower for the Newborn Rose Beanie. I have the hat finished, with no problem, but I am getting frustrated with the flower. I am not understanding the directions. Is there a video showing how to do the flower? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDebbie I had the same problem as you, I couldn't understand the flower pattern. I believe I figured out the problem. In round 2 you need to repeat from the * 2 more times. This will give you the 3 petals you will need for the next round. The author has the * there but doesn't say to repeat. All I know is that when I repeat from the * and make a total of 3 petals in round 2, then I can follow the rest of the pattern.
DeleteThe hat is very easy to make and I have made many of them but my attempt to make the flower is a total failure. Can you either explain in a little more detail how to make the flower or as mentioned above is there a video? I have searched the internet for a video of similar flowers but can't find a video explaining how to make this lovely flower. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am having the same issue. Finished the hat, and I am absolutely thrilled about how it turned out. The flower is confusing. Would love to see a video if possible.
ReplyDeleteIn row 7 it does'nt say to ch1 before joining to first stitch, as it does in rows 8-12. Is this an error?
ReplyDeleteBecoming a parent is both magical and stressful. On the one hand, you have your little bundle of joy in your arms, and on the other hand, you’re stressing about how to care for them. After nine months of pregnancy, a few hours in the delivery room, you’re now excited to take your little miracle home and start your life as new parents.

I say this because it was during the use of Dr. Itua herbal medicine that I now attest that herbal medicine is real, the phytotherapy Dr. Itua heals my breast cancer which I suffered for 2 years.
