double loop bearded santa’s hat

December 21, 2012 by Ashlee · 10 Comments

So last year I did the reindeer beanie for Baby Boy, THIS year I was having so much fun with my bearded beanies that I decided to make a bearded Santa’s hat!

I went through a few designs, for my first version used Fun Fur for the brim and beard. I think think looks great, BUT annoyed Baby Boy to no end, all that fur in his mouth and tickling his nose, I hadn’t even though of that!

Then I switched the fun fur beard to a bobble beanie, but didn’t love the way the fun fur hat and the bobble beard worked together…

SO I decided to bring back a stitch I tried before, but didn’t love, the loop. In fact I went with the DOUBLE loop. I love love LOVE the way it looks, and how it turned out, BUT I will say the loops are easy to pull out of place, which is why I don’t usually use this stitch, but for a season look? perfect!

My sweet niece is rocking the reindeer, making them the perfect pair this holiday season!

Materials:
lion brand medium weight yarn (I used cotton ease) in red
Lion Brand bulky yarn (I used Baby’s first) in white
Hook I- 5.50mm
Hook N- 9.00mm

Stitch abbreviation:
slip stitch (sl st)
single crochet (sc)
half double crochet (hdc)
double loop stitch (insert your hook into the stitch. take yarn and wrap it clockwise around your left index finger twice (opposite of the way you’d normally hold it over your finger.). stick the hook under the loops on your finger catching all three strands with the hook. pull all three strands through the stitch, YO and pull through all 4 loops on hook.)
left handed double loop stitch (if you have a hard time with a left handed double loop substitute with a sc row instead)

The loops shows up on the opposite side of what your working on, so working in the round you need to make sure your working from the INSIDE of the hat so that the loops show up on the OUTSIDE.

Working in a round it’s easy to get the loops on the front of your piece, by working from the back. But when working in rows it’s harder. Usually you simply do a sc row between every loop row, but with this thick yarn there are only a few rows, if every other one was an SC there would be less loops. SO I decided to create a loop row every row, meaning I did a right handed loop row, then a left handed loop row. IF you have a hard time with the left handed loop rows simply do an SC row instead.

Crochet Bobble Beard pattern – multiple sizes

December 19, 2012 by Ashlee · 103 Comments

Yesterday I shared my new striped beanie pattern in 7 sizes from newborn to extra large adult, and today I’m sharing 4 sizes of bobble beards, mix and match to create the fit your looking for.

I love the thinner yarn for more details, but if you’d rather use a thicker yarn try it out first, if it makes the beard too large try either going down a hook size or down a beard size.

Here is an example of all 4 beards, Large, Medium, Small and Extra Small (on an Adult, adult, toddler and baby beanies). You can see the difference in length as well as width (or is that height?) Which is why I’d suggest a hook change over beard size change if trying a different yarn.

And Baby Boy looked so cute I decided I had to add an even smaller version, here is Miss K showing off the Extra small!!! Seriously, could this BE any cuter?

Bobble Beard

Material:
vanna glamour (you can use any yarn of similar size, if you go up a yarn weight you might want to go up a beard size or down a hook size)
Hook I- 5.50mm
Stripped beanie

Stitches used:
chain (ch)
single crochet (sc)
half double crochet (hdc)
half double crochet decrease (hdc2tog)
bobble- Yarn over, insert your hook in the stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over once more and draw it through the first 2 loops on your hook.Repeat that process (yarn over, insert your hook in the stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over once more and draw it through the first 2 loops on your hook) 3 more times in the same stitch. There are now 5 loops on your hook. Yarn over and draw the loop through all 5 stitches. You’ve made one bobble stitch. Notice that the bobble puffs to the back side of the swatch you’re working, which will be the right side of the work.

Lego boy in a child’s beanie and medium beard, Computer boy in child’s beanie and Medium beard, Baby Boy in a toddler beanie and small beard (he was pulling on it, I swear it fits good) and Princess in a child’s beanie and small beard.

My mom is modeling the Large beard with Miss K… Love the zoolander look (seriously though, it’s a bit creepy on adult women without some fun face of some kind)

(Here you can see the difference between a large beard and medium beard, both on adult beanies)

Another example of the beard size changes, (these pictures were taken before I decided to create the extra small as well). notice it’s a little lopsided or tilted. that’s okay, it’s the the tilt from bobble, sew it onto the beanie, and it will be just fine.

Sew row ends of beard to the inside edge of your favorite beanie, or my striped beanie, making sure it is spaced evenly between the two sides. I sewed mine about 1/2 inch up inside. I like the way it pulls and looks better than attaching RIGHT to the edge, gives you a bit of a lip. You can place the beards as far front or back as you want.

Crochet Striped Beanie Pattern- multiple sizes

December 18, 2012 by Ashlee · 54 Comments

So last year I wrote a pattern for a bearded beanie, and the number one request I get is for a child’s size. But what size, there are SO many sizes for children. And do you know how LONG that pattern would be? to incorporate each and every bearded beanie size options? Insane. So I decided to break it into two posts, a beanie post, and a beard post, today is the Beanie, and tomorrow are the bobble beards, mix and match to get the right fit for you child/teen/baby/adult!

(Princess is wearing a Child’s size, The Reader is wearing an Adult)

I actually wanted more pictures to share, but didn’t want to wait any longer now that the patterns were done and tested… I’ll be adding more pictures as I take some!

Striped Beanie
Material:
lion brand medium weight yarn (I used weight 4, weight 3 or 5 will change the hat size a bit – see notes below each picture)
vanna glamour (you could actually use any weight yarn you want, I just used the same weight as my beards)
Hook I- 5.50mm
Bobble Beard

Stitches used:
slip stitch (sl st)
single crochet (sc)
half double crochet (hdc)
front post half double crochet (FPhdc)

Baby and child crochet faux-hawk mohawk

September 28, 2012 by Ashlee · 34 Comments

I’ve been wanting to make a faux-hawk beanie for Baby Boy since last year. He would have looked pretty cute as a baby wearing one, BUT I got a little sidetracked with all the other hats I made him. It’s Fall now and starting to cool off so it’s perfect timing!

He’s not the biggest fan of hats, sadly… He keeps pulling it off, but I’m hoping when it gets colder he’ll leave it on (yeah right). But that’s okay, cause I’ve written a few other sizes for you, baby, child and adult (teen’s too).

I used two different yarns for this one, The Jiffy is great and has lots of texture/color variation and I used it for the beanie, the wool-ease in orange was a great contrast to the blue! I made my mohawk a bit differnt from others I’ve seen, mine is SUPER full, and FLUFFY… I adore it!

Ear flap beanie

materials:
Hook: I/5.50mm
Yarn: Lion Brand Jiffy mine is Blue
Yarn: Lion Brand wool ease mine is Orange

abbreviation:
ch (chain)
sl st (slip stitch)
hdc (half double crochet)
hdc2tog (half double crochet 2 stitches together)

Row 6 – Ch 2 and turn, hdc2tog, hdc 2 times, hdc2tog. (4)
Row 7 – Ch 2 and turn, hdc2tog twice. (2)
Fasten off and weave in ends

The space across forehead should be around 27 (24, 20) st’s wide, make that choice after trying the beanie on your model!

Edging
Change yarn color
sl st in the back, ch 1, sc around, sl st to the first sc

Cut 6 long strips for each ear flap, slip it in between the 2 hdc2tog in row 7 of the ear flaps, and braid the long strips!

Faux-Hawk Strip
Small (Medium, Large)

materials:
Hook: I/5.50mm
Yarn: Lion Brand wool ease

abbreviation:
ch (chain)
sc (single crochet)

Strip
ch 41 (47, 51).
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each remaining ch across, turn—40 (46, 50) sc.
Rows 2 and 3: Ch 1, sc in each sc across, turn.
Fasten off.

Honestly you could easily make this any length, just chain until your happy with the length front to back of the beanie.

Fringe
Cut approximately 600 (690, 750) 6-7 inches long. Holding 5 pieces together, fold the strands in half. Insert crochet hook, from RS to WS to RS again, around a stitch of the center row of Mohawk strip and into the folded strands. Draw the fold back around the stitch to the RS, forming a loop on the RS. Insert ends of strands into the loop and pull to tighten. Repeat this process to attach fringe to all of the sc in each row of Faux-hawk strip. Trim fringe to about 2-2 1/2 inches long.

Once you’ve tied all the fringe on take a long piece of yarn and a needle and sew your faux-hawk strip onto the beanie!! I sewed down the center first then down each side to get it nice and snug!
