I'm switching to a WordPress blog instead of using this Blogger platform for various reasons, so this pattern has been relocated.
Very sweet!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to find you blog. I just started crocheting last week. I cant wait to make this hat
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted this pattern! My daughter is a Hello Kitty girl and I know she will LOVE this when I finish it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI made this for my 4 yr old and now all her friends want one. I know what I will be doing for Christmas presents. Thanks so much
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing! This will be perfect for my two granddaughters!

ReplyDeleteHi, i'm a fairly new crocheter and i was wondering how I could adjust this for a 9 year old? I would appreciate your help.
ReplyDelete3-10 years head range from 19- 20 1/2 inches, my 4 year old head is 20 inches, I made this for her, so I'm sure if you keep this pattern the same, it would work, yarn has a decent stretch. Or you can measure the 9 year old head, if it's bigger then 20 1/2 inches then use a j hook for this pattern, hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute! I am crocheting this for my grand daughter. It will be part of her Christmas.
ReplyDeleteDaughters are pretty special. Enjoy every minute.
Thank you for this pattern just what I was looking for and will be doing this for my 4 year old grand daughter.
ReplyDeleteElse
Thank you so much! This is adorable and I know some little granddaughters who would love one!
ReplyDeleteI made the Hello Kitty hat and it turned out so cute. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIs there a knit version? Have no desire/nor time to learn to crochet, but love the hat and love my niece who would also love the hat.
ReplyDeletesorry I only do crochet.
ReplyDeleteHi:
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to make this in an adult size for a hello kitty grown up fan. I'm not sure how to go about doing it though. Do you have suggestions?
Thanks,

Use a j hook for an adult size
ReplyDeleteJust started making this hat with a different pattern that I was going to make into a Hello Kitty Hat!!! Just saw this pattern, thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeleteSue
Thanks Amy I will try the adult hook! You are awesome! My daughter stays home with her little one's and home schools too. It is no easy task! to be a 24/7 stay at home mommy. I'm proud of you!
ReplyDeleteTake Care,
Candis
Candis, thanks!! For an adult size I would make the length 7 inches long before the earflaps too.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, thanks for taking the time to answer my question about making this for my 9 year old niece. I didn't know the sizes were si close, but I think i'll measure her head just to make sure. :) Thanks
ReplyDeleteFor your 9 yr old niece, I'd use a. J hook
ReplyDeleteOr increase a round
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting such a fabulous pattern for free! I'm serving in AmeriCorps and organizing a knit & crochet marathon service project for hats/scarves! All of the donations are going to elementary schools and head start programs. I know a lot of little girls who need a warm winter hat who will go crazy for this! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteyou all are welcome, glad to help!
ReplyDeleteWhat size hook would you use to make this for a 1 year old
ReplyDeleteI would use a H hook for a 1 year old
ReplyDeletethank you..it is for my 1 year old niece...she will love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute ;) In the hdc version does the first chain 2 count as a hdc? so there are 10 sts in the ring? Thanks
ReplyDeleteYes Wendy
ReplyDeleteThank you. And thanks for posting the pattern, you are so talented ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this pattern my friend wants me to make 1 for her grandaughter :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it-just adorable! My dtr-in-law is wonderfully quirky & will just love this hat...if I can only print it. I sit at the computer all day so when I want to crochet & need to be able to print it & take it to bed with me. When I tried to print this the background came out so dark that I couldn't read it. Is there another way or an icon I missed??
ReplyDeleteI'll send to you via email, Lisa, give your address
ReplyDeleteGlad to find your blog! I am currently living in Japan and hello kitty is HUGE here! So I'm excited to make this one! I just recently started though and I bought hooks here. They are numbered instead of lettered. Do you have any idea what hooks I would use for a 2 & 4 year old?
ReplyDeleteH hook=5 for the 2 year old. I=5.5, for the 4 year old
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a great pattern! My daughter is due with our new granddaughter next week and I would love to make one for the new born. What size hook should I use? How many rounds do you think I would need to get the diameter I need? I'm anxious to get started!
ReplyDeleteAloha from Hawaii!
Mona
Newborn, e hook, 5.5-6" long, keep pattern same with this hook
ReplyDeleteThank you! Will get started right away. There are many other patterns you have shared that are just so adorable! Thank you for blessing us with these patterns.
ReplyDeleteMahalo nui loa!
(Thank you very much)
Thank you so much for this pattern! I made it in just a few hours as a Christmas present for my granddaughter, when my daughter saw it, she wanted one.
ReplyDeleteI keep getting pointy ears, what am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeletepointy ears, I replaced the ear part back to the original pattern so try that one, thanks
ReplyDeleteOk quick question.. I know you went over what hooks to use for what ages/sizes, even though we use different hooks do we keep the pattern the same or do we still need to increase a row when making a bigger hat? Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteNo increase just change the hook, but look at the length for each size, older kid hats need to be longer.
ReplyDeleteDo you think this could be done with a chenille-type yarn?
ReplyDeleteDo you think this could be done with a chenille-type yarn?
ReplyDeleteYea, should be fine
ReplyDeleteYea, should be fine
ReplyDeleteTo increase, just use a bigger hook, but wouldn't it still be the same size? And which round would i do again?
ReplyDeleteYes usi g a larger hook, makes it bigger. From the beginning use the same hook for which size you like, I've used different hooks and know it makes it larger after I measure it.
ReplyDeletei just made your hat pattern for my niece. thank you for sharing your pattern. its very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteLove your patterns! Im making the eyes for Hello Kitty but the directions are resulting in a ring which doesnt look like the picture that is shown. Am i doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteI pinched the eyes to make them look more long
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern! Thank you very much!! :)

Crochet...Gotta Love It!
I just finished this hat and it is perfect. I`ve made the ears a little bit different, and i crocheted 2 extra rows to the back of the hat.I`ve post it on raverly.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this pattern.
I've made this hat twice! I absolutely love it darling! I had to adjust the rounds (by repeating round 4 and 5) to make an adult hat b/c I didn't have a K hook (I used a J hook)and am now making a baby one :D
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! I made it twice! I had to repeat rounds 4 and 5 to make an adult hat (that fits perfectly) b/c I had a J hook instead of K. Now I am making a baby one for a friend! Thanks for the great pattern!

ReplyDeleteSo you said cotton yarn, but then not cotton yarn. Would Simply Soft work? I just try to use what's cheap and available. :-) Plus I already have some in hot pink, and then I have baby yarn in yellow, but that would probably work since it's for such a small thing. Can you let me know my options for the white? I'm pretty good at crochet, just not the yarn-choosing part.
ReplyDeleteAny yarn works, I was jus telling o what I used.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this hat and so does my daughter but I'm horrible at sewing on the ears, eyes, nose, and bow..I have everything made but did a half circle for the ears instead and can't hide the sewing very well or make it look nice at least..Do you have any suggestions for this?
ReplyDeleteFor sewing, I just use a sew needle, weaving in and out and I try to hide it.
ReplyDeleteFabric glue works wonders for the whiskers
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this hat, made one for my sister and tweeked a few things to make a teddy bear hat for a girl at school and a tiger hat for one of my BFFs! P.S. I'm giving you the credit for everything! Love it!
ReplyDeletethank you so much did 2 for granddaughters but i but yarn on the back like hair for the 7yr old everyone at school wants to know where she brought it and she said grandma made it so now i am going to make them for cancer kids i am in a group on face book that makes caps for Caring Caps for Cancer please come check us out we would love to have you
ReplyDeleteI am working on this pattern for my niece and I love it!! Thank you for sharing it :D the only thing I've changed is on the ears to make them come to a point. To do that after I made the circle for an ear and it was time to sc the sides together when I reached the center I dc2tog and ch one in the next st sc and continue. This way they look more like kitty ears. I also plan to make the penguin hat, owl hat and the brim hat the patterns are really cute and I can't wait to start them. :] Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletewow thanx so much. iv just done the hello kitty ear flap hat. its very cute lovely 7 i found it very easy 2do many thanx. iv also done the other hello kitty hat twice 2. im very happy wiv them both thanx from debbie xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I need to make one for my daughter, and her friend!
ReplyDeletehey there I am in the process of making the crochet children's hat with flower and I am making the flower to go on it but I am stuck at the "bpsc" stich!! What am I suppose to do here and how do I do it??? thanks
ReplyDeleteLook up Bpsc on YouTube, that will help.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! Made two hats in hdc. One was a birthday gift along with the purse and the other for my granddaughter. Both 4 yr. olds love them! Thanks very much for sharing all your patterns!!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I love this hat. I want to make it for two little girls, both age 5, how much yarns do I need?
ReplyDeleteBall of yarn per hat
ReplyDeleteI just made this for my 3 year old granddaughter who requested it. She loved it and even wore it to bed!
ReplyDeleteThank you for providing this great pattern which was easy to follow even though I am a newish crocheter!
The photo of it is available on Ravelry under username Shoshyr
I tried using cotton yarn (peaches and cream) and it didn't curve the way the hat needs to. Red Heart worked great. Thanks so much for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI keep coming up with only 35 sts for rnd 3. I have started over many times. Am i supposed to DC in the same space as joining? Please help any comments will be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Great pattern by the way!
No, u are not supposed dec in the same space as joining, not sure why unare getting 35, I'm sure if u continue on, the hat will still turn out.
ReplyDeleteSorry i didn't mean decrease, I meant double crochet. I have been working on this and the only way I can seem to make it come out to 36 stitches correctly is if I do 2 double crochet in the first stitch and then I follow the pattern. Thanks for your quick response! I hope I am doing this right, I would like to make one for both my 6 and 3 yr old girls.
ReplyDeleteI think if u do it your way, it will be fine.
ReplyDeleteOk make sure, you slip stitch on top of the chain 2, then next to it, will be a stitch, double crochet once in that stitch, then 2 dc in the next stitch, continue, then at the end when you have 36 stitches, them slip stitch on top of chain 2, that should work, I just tried it. I like a snug fit but if u find this hat too tight u can add an increase round or use a bigger hook.
ReplyDeletecan i stop at 30 stitches instead of 40 for the ears? then sew?
ReplyDeleteYes but the ears will be smaller
ReplyDeleteI used my pattern for ear flap hats and made Hello Kitty and the penguin for my daughters using your embellishments and colors. They love them! Thank you so much for the patterns and inspiration!
ReplyDeletehi im debbie and id just like 2share with u how lovely this hello kitty hat is. i must have crochet about 10 of them in all. for freinds of corse as once one had one they all wanted one. there soo quick & easy 2do. sooo cute. iv just made another 2 in ceresse pink with white bow. lovely many thanx xx
ReplyDeleteI've got the ears made but can't seem to understand how to attach them. Can you please help with that? THANKS
ReplyDeleteI did change the ear pattern, so it looks different from the picture, but I would sew it closed at the bottom of the ear, and then sew it to the top of the hat, both about 2 inches apart.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if anyone has tried to make this in an adult size?
ReplyDeletehere is an adult size version too, http://amray1976.blogspot.com/2011/10/crochet-hello-kitty-adult-hat.html
ReplyDeletejust use an I hook, for the earflaps too
Thank u I can understand this 1 hehe
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a pattern for a hello kitty scarf to match?
ReplyDeleteAmy, I saw this worked up and it inspired me to find your pattern. THANK YOU! Unfortunately, I'm past row 6, 60 stitches, and it looks more like a saucer than a hat Unsure what I'm doing wrong. Red Heart. I've made hats before, but this is the only one so far that's done this to me. Ideas? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteok, now just work a dc in each stitch around to form the hat. what size are you making this for? make sure you have hook size right for the size you need.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your frees pattern, love it. I am making animal hats for children with cancer .
ReplyDeleteHi. This hat looks really cute...but the white color is scaring me off...do you think it will be alright to make it in pink or muave
ReplyDeletesure
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to make this to send to my nephew for his little girl. She loves Hello Kitty. :)
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS ADORABLE.THANKS FOR SHARING. HOW MANY STITCHES BETWEEN THE EAR FLAPS?
ReplyDeleteIm not sure, I just fold it in half, and then match the first ear flap to the other side.
