Crochet Baby Shell Beanie Pattern & extra large flower

I made this Shell beanie for my new baby niece. My sister is planning on taking monthly picture with this hat for the first year, so I’ll add a few rows over the year! Here is how it started!

Here is her one month pictures (and isn’t my sister GORGEOUS!) you can follow every month on my sisters photography blog!

I used Lion Brand Baby’s First yarn, this stuff is AMAZING! I LOVE it, it’s so so SO soft, and very thick. I want to get more and make a full blanket out of it, seriously the way it feels is ADDICTIVE. I’m all about texture when it comes to the yarn I work with.

Beanie

materials:
Hook: N15/10.00mm
Yarn: Lion Brand Baby’s First Yarn

abbreviation:
ch (chain)
sl st (slip stitch)
sc (single crochet)
dc (double crochet)

shell-crochet-baby-beanie-crown

Crown

Start with a magic ring
Row 1: 6 sc in magic ring, DO NOT JOIN (you may want to place a marker here to keep track of Rnd)
Row 2: 2 sc in each sc of previous round (12 sc)
Row 3: (2 sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next stitch) 6 times, (18 sc)

Row 4: (1 sc in next 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch) 6 times (24 sc)
Row 5: (1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next 2 stitches) 6 times (30 sc)
0-6 months stop here

Row 6: (2 sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next 4 stitches) 6 tmes (36 sc).
6-12 Months stop here (you’ll have to “cheat”  on the first row of shells and skip an extra stitch once)

Row 7: (2 sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next 5 stitches) 6 times (42 sc)
18 Months-3 years stop here (you’ll have to “cheat” on the first row of shells and skip an extra stitch twice)

shell-crochet-baby-beanie-shell

Shell Sides

Row 1: ch4 (this counts as first dc and and extra ch), 2dc in same stitch (see above), *skip 4 sc, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in next sc* repeat from * to beginning chain. dc in the first stitch (the one with the ch4, 2dc), sl st in 4th ch (see below).

shell-crochet-baby-beanie-shell

Row 2: *ch 4, 2dc* in first chain 1 space, *2dc, 1 ch, 2dc* in each ch 1 space around, dc in first stitch, sl st in 4th ch.

Rows 3-4: repeat Row 2
0-3 months stop here

shell-crochet-baby-beanie-finished

Add a row every few months as needed!  If you want to START with a larger size I’d MEASURE if you have your model close by, but for a guess (since my model is still little- if it’s different than this when you try it let me know!) I’d say:

3-6 months – 5 rows,
6 months to 1 year – 6 rows
1 -3 years – 7 rows

Attach the flower wherever you want!  It will be cute to see the flower looking smaller and smaller as she get’s bigger and bigger!  I am SO in love with my new little niece!  She makes Baby Boy look even bigger!  Where did my baby go?

    Where do you get your hooks? I can only find tapered hooks. And yours are different. And I know they always do a better job! 😀 Thanks. And I LOVE your patterns and blog!
