How to crochet a cute baby girl's hat for beginners

This tutorial will show you how to crochet an easy shell stitch baby hat. This tutorial is suitable for beginners.
For size 0 - 3 months use a 4mm crochet hook
For size 3 - 6 months use a 4.5mm crochet hook
For size 6 - 12 months use a 5mm crochet hook
For my hat I used a 4mm crochet hook and Drops Lima yarn (DK weight).

Beautiful little hat! Thanks, and subscribed. For those who have trouble with the magic circle, you can instead make a chain of 5 and slip stitch into the first ch st to form a ring, and do the 12 DC into the center of the ring. You can tug on the tail to close the hole after the first round. Also, beginners may want to insert a stitch marker into the top of the first DC in each round as soon as it's made so they can tell which loop to slip stitch into when joining. Counting back works unless you accidentally skipped a stitch, LOL.

Have made this hat several times & its just lovely. The stitch is fairly easy & is very feminine. Thanks for your clear instructions.

OMGoodness, I wish I could count how many times I've tried to make a shell stitch hat - and now I have finally done it. You are an amazing teacher. And your accent is adorable (I'm from Atlantic Canada). Thank you so much!

[@conniemedina5816]

Your good thanks one of the best

[@heartspace8]

I had so much fun creating this hat:). Your tutorial/instructions are very clear and at a very workable pace. Your repetitions allowed me to crochet while listening to your instructions. You're a great teacher! Thank you! 💗

[@annettedonohue1295]

Hello there! I have to say I love your voice and the way you explain everything slowly and carefully. You can't repeat things too many times for me !!!!! I am on holiday and am challenging myself and having so much fun at the same time. A great big thank you for your time and excellent coaching! I am curious as to what you look like too!!! I have watched so many of these videos and feel like I know you lol!!!

I made these hat last week for my friend who just had a baby. It is a really beautiful pattern and I made it with 2 colors. It was easy to follow. Greetings from The Netherlands!

[@shaheentaj785]

Explanation is very good , easily we can understand the pattern . thank you so much ♥️

[@jollie06]

Wat een duidelijke uitleg. Zelfs ik kon het volgen in het Engels. Hartelijk dank !

[@Mandy270793]

Thank you for your tutorial! You're explanation is so clear. I've tried a lot of patterns that start with a ring/magic loop but I failed all of them. Thanks to you I finally succeeded!

[@woolywonderscrochet7586]

Thank you! The magic circle is always tricky at first! x

[@XcuddleXbearX11]

This was very easy to follow and I am impressed. Thank you SO MUCh love! Will keep doing more.

[@amyd1026]

I love this hat! I’m going to make it again And again. So easy and not a typical Beeny hat for a baby!

[@wings71-p77]

Thank you, I think I can make my first crochet piece following your instructions you are most helpful and I will be back for more.

[@debrarodriguezestrada2748]

Just made this in pink baby yarn for my great grand daughter! Thank you!

[@kimfridey7771]

❤just completed you beautiful easy to follow babies hat. Just adore it. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@andreaforman9624]

For the pancake hat people - happened to me too. Rewatch row 6 again as that is where it starts to reduce. Sc in 1st stitch and skip 2, *5dc (shell) in front of sc below, skip 2, sc at top of shell below*. I needed to watch it several times to understand but then all was good and it came out great! I was putting my sc in the wrong place at first.

[@Zehested]

Yes thank you🙏 I somehow missed making the sc between the shells. Thank you for leading me directly to the row with the errors 🙏

[@kintsugiplantcolors4224]

Thank you for the explanation clearly. I didn’t watch all so I had to watch all the way. It happened to me too. Now it turned out great. I have done with other beanie numerous times so I know the decrease and increase for those.

[@alexhunter-alyscapturedmoments]

[@inderjitkaur800]

its amazing. i am beginner but with helf of your vedio i have made for my little.thank you so much...superrrrrrrr

[@heatherwilliams90]

If you end up with a flat shape rather than something resembling a hat it is likely the yarn is too small - the first one I tried I was using a 4ply yarn and ended up with a flat shape, I have now made one using 10ply and it has worked well.

[@MissRachieH]

Thank you so much for your videos! I made my first crochet project (not including things I tried when I was

[@MissRachieH]

I appreciate that your videos are detailed and that you go at a slow, even pace with your voice and your stitching. I will derby keep crocheting due to the confidence your tutorial gave me. Thank you so much!

[@woolywonderscrochet7586]

Thank you for your lovely comment! I would love to see a photo of it - I have twitter and instagram if you would like to share on there x

This is the first thing I have ever crocheted! After a few hiccups and restarts, it's turned out beautifully! Your instructions were perfect, thank you so much. I'm now addicted to crochet, and have subscribed to your channel (the first you tube channel I've EVER subscribed to)! Lots of love from Kitty in Australia!

[@imagination914]

Thank you for this clear acurate tutorial. I have just subscribed. I have watched a few and i find your way of teaching very very good. Slow, clear and accurate. You dont take for granted that we all know what your talking about and explain everything very clearly. Thank you. My first granddaughter is due in November and i want to make something nice for her. Hope mine turns out okay. I can knitt but this is my first time crocheting.

[@nataliguzun2641]

Thankyou very much for your wonderful lessons, it's easy to learn. God bless you !

[@woolywonderscrochet7586]

Thank you x

[@ornalev12]

Thanks to u , it is very easy when u explain

[@myriamwesterman1408]

Love your patterns! When I first started crocheting I remember looking for you patterns specifically! Although I'd like to add, make sure anytime your doing a double crochet round to always chain 2, otherwise it makes a dimple in the circle. Otherwise your patterns are great!

[@pammonaghan6038]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for posting.

[@bintyaqub7920]

Mine came out lovely. Thank you so much!

[@kannikayotatip5052]

[@victoriavidal2007]

Thank you so much for your tutorial, I have made the bonnet and it is sooooo cute!!! I have mentioned in my Instagram! Love from Spain 🥰

[@rosiee.1372]

Watched again & what she's actually doing is a US double and a half crochet. Pull thru ONE loop, pull thru TWO loops, pull thru TWO loops again. 2 1/2 double crochet. It works even if its different.

[@rupalibhujbal433]

Just tried out its very cute👌👌love from India😘

[@markwilliams1824]

Super cute.. made 3 in fuzzy wuzzy wool.. thanks!

[@balasaranyaalagesanmeenaks8024]

Your Tutorials are lovely. I wish to do this same hat for a 5year old girl. Kindly tell me which number hook I should use and also is there any variations in magic circle or chain numbers?

[@ZarghunaMubarik]

[@michele8208]

You have a soothing voice

[@jenyurikouth4984]

Cute one. Thanks.

[@tammi67able]

I love this! Does anyone know the stitch count per row? If I don’t Count I get all mixed up

[@lillyc6527]

I was having trouble for the same reason so I think I got it.first row 12,2nd 24 round 3 36 stitches round 4 54 stitches round 5 67 stiches.then is a breeze from there on.

[@annt8327]

I've made at least 30 of these..many with pompoms..super cute. Have read the complaints about flat circles instead of hat shaped. Please FOLLOW HER DIRECTIONS in the shell section. I believe that's where your error lies..not with this woman's BRILLIANT tutorial.

[@heatherwilliams90]

Hi Anna, what type of yarn did you use? I am making my first one and am onto the first row of shell stitch but it's not appearing very hat like, I am using a 4ply yarn.

[@nehasahota3985]

Wo..........wooooooooo.......💕💕💕💕

[@michelle.m582]

You are the best hun!

[@rohayaarif5009]

So cute l love it

[@JVphotographyMelb]

I love your work. Just wondering if you could do videos for more advanced crocheters too? Your explanation is fantastic but I'm going quicker now :) plus would love to see fancy stitches explained by you.

[@jackiehumphery2445]

Thank you very pretty god bless 🙏

[@bikramjitsandhu2028]

Very well explained 💚🌹💚

[@roseterhune]

How many stitches are in each round? Very confusing. Thank you.

[@francesbarolet6787]

I am wondering the same thing. She doesn't mention how many stitches after the first round of fans.

[@nancytran6924]

It very good video thank you!!!

[@pragnasengupta5999]

Thank you.

[@lucyhwangsaner3904]

Thank you very much for useful video, ^^ im a beginner, I’ve been making a beanie for 2or 3years baby. How can i increase the size of the beanie ? ^^;

Thank you so much....

[@mooneybot]

Yes, thank you! I needed to see that a couple of times.

[@barbarayoung4677]

Thanks as always for an excellent tutorial! I tried a different pattern with written instructions and I couldn't get it. I found your KZbin video and was able to follow along to complete this beautiful hat. I appreciate you very much!

[@blessedtobehome_mobilehome]

Hello are you able to make this pattern for a child of the age of 3 and 4? Is it just a matter of hook size?

[@bearlakemotor649]

I love your patterns and instructions. Thank you. But I am having a difficult time at the end of each round making it look good and not getting a puckered look. Any advise for me? Thanks

[@danielledenton7972]

for those following the video without a pattern how many rows should i do for a 0-3 months?

[@crochet2742]

So cute 🥰

[@urajendran]

Where are the sizes for bigger hats?

[@rosemariedick1344]

Such a cute hat, do you gave a newborn dress or booties to match?

[@retaolphert2086]

Thank you for showing me how to making a girl hat x

[@rosiee.1372]

Heres something I just noticed - Wooly Wonders says to make 5 double crochets for a shell but if you look very closely she's actually crocheting a (US) TREBLE crochet stitch in the shell. I missed that before....wonder how this will affect my next hat in this pattern.

[@emilymalone2485]

Im about to move onto row 9 and my had looks like a doilies.... its not curving into a hat shape. What Have I done wrong??

[@WaqasAhmed-cx5re]

love u dear.. i love ur all video.. u made crochet work easy for me.. Tnkyew so mch.. lovely👍😍😘

[@woolywonderscrochet7586]

Thank you :) x

[@brendasteele1060]

[@jenyurikouth4984]

I will surely try

[@preciousmoments1247]

I made one hat following your tutorial so thank you..I was wondering how old of a baby girl can wear it?

[@mwallace8703]

I'm making these for the newborns at our hospital. The hospital says that they always get preemie & regular sizes, but not for the big babies.
