I said I would post a free patttern, so here it is. This is a pattern for the shell stitch beanie in my previous post. I LOVE this beanie because it stitches up quickly and adds a great texture to the average beanie. The pattern here is for a 0-3 months size and a child size (3-10 years), but I hope to add in the other sizes when I find a moment. Please let me know if something doesn't work up right. As always, I would love to see pics of final creations! If you whip one of these out, please email me a picture!

Wahoooo! Thanks - these are so cute! Do you ever do hats for boys? I've got one of those too and have a heck of a time being fair with my crochet projects.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, thanks soo much! I love the flower you have on there...do you sell that pattern? Thanks SO much for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteoh I just saw where you found the pattern for the flower! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern!! Please post the other bigger baby sizes!
ReplyDeleteI just love this pattern and that it has all the sizes! I'll be mentioning it over on my blog with a picture of the one I just made!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
so cute, I haven't crocheted in years, I think I might just have to dust off my hooks and get busy!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Thanks for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThese are positively adorable! Awesome pictures, thanks! Found your blog from The Girl Creative!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I wish I was a knitter! Stopping by From the Girl Creative Party.

Oh my gosh! These are so cute! TFS!
ReplyDeleteI just finished this hat, its the first hat I made that actually looked like the picture. I made it too small for my daughter but it will be the perfect baby shower gift for a friend. Im so excited I found a pattern that I can make. Thanks so much :D :D And the hat and baby in the pic are soo cute
ReplyDeleteI am confused about something. The 3-6 month size is slightly larger and longer than the 6-12 month size. I can't see that a hook size change is mentioned. I don't understand why the smaller size is larger. Can you help?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great pattern!
Would anyone be able to explain Rnd 9 to me (from the 0-3 month pattern)? I'm a beginner!
ReplyDeleteAnd Jackie - maybe the 3-6 and 6-12 month patterns are accidentally reversed?
ReplyDeleteJackie, so sorry I hadn't gotten back to you on this! I was in Vegas when you wrote and then forgot! There is a differencein the two patterns. In rnd 9 of the 3-6 month size you skip 3 sc. In rnd 8 of 6-12 you skip 2 sc therefore the 6-12 month size ends up having more shell clusters. This is what makes the 6-12 month size larger. Does the help?
ReplyDeleteYes, don't listen to me. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this pattern! My friend fell in love with it and asked me to use it to make a beanie for her baby. Read all about it here: http://ow.ly/2aXjm
ReplyDeleteI finished my hat and it's adorable! But my bottom edge isn't straight, it's a bit scalloped. Should it be straight?
ReplyDeleteWonder if the size would come out right if I used Mohair yarn?
ReplyDeleteA big thanks for this wonderful pattern :)
ReplyDeleteI just finished the hat, I will enjoy to try it during a photo's shoot with a little baby girl :)
Thanks
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI just made this pattern in both sizes 3-6 months and 6-12 months, saw the difference between the two, but if I put them together, the 6-12 months is smaller than the 3-6 months!? I'm a bit confused as to whether the two patterns were switched or what?! I have a 5.5 month old, on which I tried both, and the 3-6 month fits better than the 6-12 month! Help!!
Thanks, you can email me at

ReplyDeleteThank you for your beautiful pattern. It was great to use. I used worsted weight for 0-3 months with J hook and had to leave out several of the shell rows so it wouldn't be too long. Doest that sound right?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern. I made one, then another, then another.......I can't stop!
ReplyDeleteI've made them all with 100% merino wool on a size G (6mm) hook. The sizing is so far, so good. I've tried the 12-24 month and 3-10 year.
You can see a pic here:

I absolutely LOVE this pattern! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm trying to make one for my friend's daughter, but I'm stuck. Can you please explain row #9 (6-12 months)? I don't get what it means after you join on row #8, to then do a slip stitch. It sounds like the same thing to me. Also when it says "1 space," are you meaning to skip 1 space then do the (2dc, 1 ch, 2dc) in the next?? Any help would be much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteashleybotello@gmail.com
I am excited about trying this pattern! Where is the pattern for the flower? It's so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being so generous and sharing this pattern! This hat is so beautiful, works up so quickly and makes such a wonderful gift! Thank you so much again! Such talent! God Bless
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing your pattern! Not only was it beautiful, but your instructions were very easy to read!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just finished the shell stitch beanie. I did it in Caron Simply Soft, a turquoise color. I used Lesley Stanfield's book 100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet for the flower. It came out beautiful. Thanks for the pattern, and for all the size changes. I made this for my granddaughter. She is 9 months, and I'll be able to make more as she gets bigger!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this pattern!! It is gorgeous! My only frustration is that I made it twice and both time it looked nothing like the picture and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! :( I swear I'm following the directions to the "T" and yet it doesn't look the same...I am making the 12-3 years size..Row 9 is where I think things go wrong??
ReplyDelete"Slip Stich to ch 1 space,(Does this mean slip stitch in each stitch up to the ch 1 space? OR does it mean slip stitch directly into the ch 1 space?)
(ch 3, dc, ch 1, 2dc) in first chain 1 space, (2dc, 1 ch, 2dc) in each ch 1 space around. Join."
If you could help clear this up I would be very grateful!
Thanks again for posting this!
And even though my hats don't look like your they are still beautiful and they work up very quickly! :)
Thanks and Blessings!
Brianne
In rnd 2 of each size it says DO NOT JOIN. When I do this, it makes a gaping hole that just doesn't look right. By do not join you mean don't connect the end of the ring to the beginning stitch of that round with a slip stitch? Why wouldn't you do that...am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteI just absolutely love this hat, it's so cute! I have been trying round 8 on the 0-3 month hat over and over again and just have not been successful, I just don't fully understand it! Has anyone had success that would be willing to help me out?
ReplyDeletethank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern. I just made the 0-3 month size and it turned out great. I was surprised at how fast it went! I haven't fit it on a baby yet, but the size looks about right. For a newborn, I would probably take out a row or two of shells. I'll post a pic soon!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little hat.. I was making the 3+ yr old hat, but dont know if I missed something or if it is written incorrectly.. but it didnt seem to have any type of decrease to turn it in to a hat shape, it just got wider and wider to look like a nice pot holder!.. The 3+ patter looks a bit different than the baby beanie.. I'm sure b/c of the extra shells.. still very cute.. just wish I knew what I did wrong! ~Erika
ReplyDelete...following up.. I decided to keep going... ahhh.. the shells make it decrease itself.. so if you're worried you're going to have a big ol pot holder like I thought.. just keep going!, it all works out in the end..! ~Erika
ReplyDeleteI'm having problems with Rnd 9 in 0-3 months.. Love this pattern though it is so beautiful. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis hat is great. I'm not good at following directions but this one was so easy. And quick too! The only problem i encountered was the size. I worked the newborn pattern with the same size hook and everything and the hat fits me. Just as well, because i really love it! Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteAre you against people selling what they have made from your patterns if they give your info, that is, as the pattern creator? I know that some people are not fond of that... Just wondering!
ReplyDeleteLove your hat... i think you crochet really tight though.. i think I want to try again using a smaller hook. The 0-3size is so big already.. and this just looks like the traditional shell pattern that I am use to seeing.. and I liked the looks of you hat better.. it seems so much cuter.. Also I am on the 12 row and it seems so big! haha.. i still have more to go! Haha, I think it might almost fit my 10month old.. But I think it a little girly for a boy!
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Where is stays 6 times what does that mean? to go around 6 times?
ReplyDeletewww.myliferightnoww.blogspot.com
I have a question about the end (join) of round 8 and the first shell of round 9. When you join the last shell of round 8, you slip stitch into the top of the ch3, correct? and the First shell of round 9, do you skip to the chain space in the shell below, or start in the joining stitch?
ReplyDeletethank you for this beautiful freebie! can not wait to get started ;o)
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for this pattern! I 'featured' you on my blog today.
ReplyDeletehttp://thisiswhatilove-carmen.blogspot.com/2011/02/today-was-crochet-kind-of-day.html
I love it! I have 4 month old twins, and I have been looking for a cute pattern for a while. This is one of the easiest patterns I've seen. I whipped two of these out in just 2 nights! And I was only working after the girls went to bed. They are adorable. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this pattern! I love it. Here's what I made for my daugther: http://ravel.me/davidswife06/ssb
ReplyDeleteI am having a the same problem other are having with round 9 from the 6-12 mo. pattern. I read all the comments and could not find an explaination. My hat does not seem to have the gap between the shells. I am slip knoting into the chain 1 space. Your picture shows the shells all lined up and mine are not. They actually look to be going at an angle. Please post an explaination, i really love this hat and am stuck.
ReplyDeleteI am having the same problem as Sarah, and sooo wish I could figure out how to do round 9. I love this hat so much. I am trying to teach myself and can't really find help on how to read row 9. My shells are not lined up.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can help, and thanks for the pattern.
kaswart@mac.com
if anyone understands row 9 for the 6-12 mo. version please explain on here. thanks
ReplyDeleteBesty posted the answer to my confusion. Click on the link below to see what she has to say. Thank you so much for clearing things up. I was slip stitching into the middle of each shell where the chain 1 was.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Such a cute little hat. I can't wait for my daughter to be born so I can put it on her.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern! The hat turned out great and I can't wait to give it to the new mommy at her baby shower tomorrow! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the pattern it is adorable. I made one for both my nieces and it turned out wonderful :)))
ReplyDeletewhen you sc into each stitch on rd 15 of the 6-12 size are you sc in ch 1 spaces because it seems to be too hard to do so.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering why for the 3-6 month size you go to 42 sc in round 8, but for the 6-12 month size you only go to 36 sc? I understand that you end up with one more shell cluster in the 6-12 month size, but why the extra increase round in the smaller size?
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon,
ReplyDeleteI really like your Beanie-Pattern. And i've been asked to translate it in German. Would you be so kind to give me that permission. Of course it will be mentioned, that it was your work to develope it.
Thank you
Thank you so much for this pattern, the hat turned out so cute! Thank you again so much.
ReplyDeleteI just finished the newborn beanie and the flower in Bernat's Bamboo Natural Blends in the color Lotus (a soft pink) and it's positively yummy! I do have some questions on everyone's preferences, so here goes...how is everyone attaching the flower? Are you stitching it permanently to the hat through a decorative button OR are you putting the flower on a hair clip and clipping it on the hat for easy removal? Also, what are your preferences for placement location of the flower on your hat? Directly on the side, or more toward the front, sort of partially over where one eye would fall? High up on the hat, in the middle or low near the border? I'm always interested in who's doing what and the most popular preferences! I have to finish this project in two days for a baby shower on Saturday and I'm wondering which way to go with the flower. This is a great pattern that I will be using again and again! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your pattern! I just finished my FIRST hat! Thanks for your help!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this pattern. I'm new to crochet and haven't been able to make a baby hat that actually fits a baby until this pattern. I just made a matching baby/big sister set for a friend and she fell in love. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI am an avid knitter, but wanted to broaden my horizons and pick up crochet. This was a bit confusing at first, as I had to turn off my knitting brain and rethink, but my wonderful neighbor came to the rescue and showed me how easy this was. Thanks so much for sharing your fabulous pattern I plan on making at least one in each size for baby girl on the way:)
ReplyDeleteI just finished this pattern, and it's very pretty, but it doesn't look anything like the picture. it looks like staggered shells. they aren't in line like the picture, what did i do wrong?
ReplyDeleteSo adorable!
ReplyDeleteHi There, I am going to attempt to make this and was wondering if this was American Stitches and do I need to convert to Australian stitches. I am just starting out in Crochet so I need all the help I can get. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI just finished the 0-3 month hat...it looks cute but nothing like the picture of yours does! I think round 10 is where I made my own variation as it was hard to understand!
ReplyDeleteHello from Australia.I absolutely love your little beanie and desperately want to make one but I cannot even seem to join the chains to make a circle.I am just beginning.Also What size wool and hook do you recommend and how much wool does it take?I love your blog.You sound like such a lovely mummy.I am a mummy of 7 and 4 grandbabies so knitting and now crochet are going to become my friends I'm sure if I can just get the hang of it.Thanks so much for sharing your talent freely with us.
ReplyDeleteThis hat is so adorable in the pictures, but I can't get it right. I have made this pattern several times, and each time I am done I reread the pattern about 40 times to see if I did something wrong. I made the 0-3 month size and it looked like it would fit a 6-12 mo old. I also made the 6-12 mo size and it fit my 2 year old niece. I'm just curious of anyone else has experienced this problem or if it's just me. I'm going crazy over here! Please help!
ReplyDelete~Sarah

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this pattern! I can't wait to make one for my niece, future niece & of course my daughter!
ReplyDeleteCould you give me some advice on row 10? I am not quite sure how to continue the round after the ch 3 dc ch1 2 dc. Could you explain to me how to continue? I know you say in each ch1 to do the 2dc ch1 2dc but what does it mean? Do that in each chain around or in each ch1 of the vee's? Could you please help me out?
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Brittany
Hey there!! I absolutely love this pattern and have adapted it as my Interchangeable Flower Hat Collection. Check out my blog @ www.stitchinsally.blogspot.com or my Etsy shop @ www.stitchinsally.etsy.com to see what I've made from this amazing pattern!!
ReplyDeleteThank you again!
Sally Stitches (Amy)
Dear Brittany,
ReplyDeleteDon't do it in every chain around! Do the "ch r dc chi 2dc" in the middle of the "v" like you said. Each "v" (or shell") kind of comes out of the center of one in the previous row.
I hope that helps...
oh, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this pattern! The hat comes out so cute- but the baby in the picture is adorable!! I think she sells the hat. :) I made one and linked you in my blog. Thanks! http://sweetkeeps.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-do-believe-its-friday.html
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could help me with the flower -- I get to the part where it says to single crochet in the "spokes" of the previous row? I'm not sure what that means, or what it means to work in the back of the flower? Help please! I love that flower and want it on my hat!
ReplyDeleteI love this hat it's so cute, I made the 3-10 size using the J hook like you mentioned but it fits my head and I don't think it'll fit my 3 yr old. I'm wondering if the yarn was too thick. I believe it's worsted weight and acrylic but i'm not sure since I got it from someone without the label. Have a suggestion on what made it too big?
ReplyDeleteLook how gorgeous mine looks:

I love this pattern and I've made it in all sizes! I use I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby and an "H" hook.
Thanks for an adorable pattern!
thank u...I am sending this to my grandma!
ReplyDeleteI love your leaf...can I find that somewhere?
ReplyDeleteHi there :) First off, I wanted to thank you for sharing your amazing pattern. So much so, that I plan to sell the finished item in my Etsy store, Coconut Frosting! I will of course give you full credit for the pattern. Just wanted to let you know. Thank you again and I look forward to more of your fabulous patterns! Best, J.
ReplyDeleteOmg! I made ths!! I'm so happy. ;) can't wait to see my little ones ace in the morning!
ReplyDeleteHi I made this and it's so beautiful. My only problem is I made it in size 0-3 months and it's about only 11 inches in circumference and I'm worried it won't fit. I want to give it as a gift to my SIL for her baby shower on November 12 , 2011. Do you think you can give me the the actual sizes ? Do you think I should just make it in the bigger size? It's so beautiful but it's also really tiny!! My e-mail is lindsay_crys@hotmail.com. Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteWhile this hat is very cute, the sizes are not accurate at all!!!! Sorry, but you shouldn't post things like they're the right size and they're not even close. Luckily a friend that tried to make this has people that know what they're talking about to help her out and I could tell her how many stitches need to be on there, etc.
ReplyDeleteI just made this hat. Super cute! And easy directions. Pattern worked up to right sizes for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I personally made plenty of this pattern and have had MANY orders for it. That being said, I find the pattern to be very good with sizing and haven't had a problem when it comes to the pattern and the finished product. I am very gratefull for patterns, some I make up, but htis one is a favorite of mine and my customers. So a BIG thank you to you. Keep up the beautiful work:)
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern! Just noticed that the 6-12 month only goes up to 36 sc in the top part of the hat. Shouldn't is be 42?
ReplyDeleteLOVE the site!!!
I love using this pattern!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing it :)
LOVE this hat. It's breathtakingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just featured you over at youseriouslymadethat.blogspot.com

ReplyDeletehello. I am new to crochet and i started crocheting this hat. I am stuck on round 9 and 10..i read the additional information you provided but i still don't think i am doing this correctly. The edges of the hat are very wavy. My email is vienna_lucia@hotmail.com. I am wondering if you could email me some additional information to help me with this. Thanks. Vienna.
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome!

Thank you for sharing this adorable pattern, and especially for including larger sizes! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this cute little pattern. It works up so quickly. I'm addicted. Babygirl wore it to her 6 month check up, and she barely got in the door before the nurses were oohing and aahing over it. Gotta love that!
ReplyDeleteWorking on the 0-3 month hat RIGHT NOW! It is turning out beautifully and I'm sooo happy with it :) Thanks for sharing your pattern!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling pattern - it looks like it is hard but it is so easy. I plan to make it in multiple sizes and yarns! Thank you for providing it.

When doing the last few rounds for the 0 - 3 months size hat, do you put a single crochet in the chain one space of the shell? Or only the stitches that are there already?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern! This hat is so cute!

Well, I'm coming late to the party, but thanks so much for the free pattern!! I'm a very new crocheter and I am LOVING this hat. I'm about halfway thru and am so enjoying seeing it come together. Thanks so much for your generosity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful pattern! I am selling a hat that I made from your pattern. Check it out...

Thanks again!

Not sure what I am doing wrong but I seem to be increasing shells on each row and one side of the hat is lopsided??? How many shells per row is there suppose to be?
ReplyDeleteI've just made This beanie, it's sooo cute! Your daughter is absolutely adorable too. I have been browsing your blog all morning, and I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteThis blog is Excellent with a Capital E!!!

Love this pattern! I am new to pinterest and posted my finished hat but with a different flower. Put your website in my comment. Hope that is the correct place to give you credit.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely cannot wait to try making this!!! And thank you SO much for the permission to sell them. I am starting to make boutique-style baby items to sell, and this definitely fits the bill!!
ReplyDeleteThis is anonymous above - I posted yesterday that I couldn't wait to make this hat, and I didn't...I just now finished it up. I must admit that after reading the comments that people had been getting confused and their hats weren't looking at all like yours, I was a bit hesitant and figured I'd have trouble. I didn't at all - it only took me a couple of hours to whip it up, and I am a terribly slow crocheter!! The only thing I can say is that I made the 6-12 month size and it came out really small, but I used really thin yarn so I believe that was the problem. It still came out very cute and can definitely be worn by a smaller baby. I'm starting another one with regular worsted weight yarn and am really happy you posted this pattern!! Thank you so much!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I made your amazing hat last night and it is gorgeous. I made it to your 12 months to 3 years and it has come out very small. It's for a friend, but I tried it on my 2 year old son for size and it is very snug! He doesn't have a big head at all! I am from Uk and we don't have 'wprsted weight' so I used double knit - should I be using something heavier?
ReplyDeleteWow, I have looked for free patterns online and you are the only one whom I have found who has been generous enough to actually share them. Thanks so much for those of us with limited income it is a huge blessing. May this come back to you full circle. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so much for this pattern. I just started crocheting a couple months ago and never thought I woud be able to attempt something like this! I did have trouble the first time I made it and it looked nothing like yours, after unravelling the whole thing and re-reading your instructions and all the comments I figured it out. I have now made one in 3 different sizes and the sizing seems accurate to me!
ReplyDeleteI posted it to my blog if you want to check it out:

Thanks! This pattern is so cute and easy! I've made 3 so far. http://ninnyscraftycraziness.blogspot.com/2012/02/shell-stitch-beanie-baby-hats.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for the free pattern, think I will make this one, I have 3 grand-daughters
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this pattern. I'm gonna make one today!
ReplyDeleteWork your stitches in BETWEEN the 2 V's.
ReplyDelete\\// x \\//
The x represents where you are suppose to work the stitches in row 10 (at least this is the row for the 3-10 hat). This is the space where you chain 1 before starting the next V.
If your hat is really ruffled or it looks like a bunch of shells then it's wrong. I've ripped out this hat several times trying to figure it out. It now looks exactly like the picture!
Hope this helps someone!

Hello!! Love this pattern! So easy and adorable! Thank you for posting!! Quick question though.. In your pattern for 3-6mo, you have the sc around the bottom repeated 5 times.. is that correct??? All the other patterns I believe have it repeated only twice.. Just wanted to clarify! Thank you again!!
ReplyDelete=)
I just want to say how refreshing it is to see a pattern designer allow people to make hats and sell them (not sell the pattern, just the product). Thank you for being so generous!
