I am dying over how incredibly cute this hat turned out!
I saw a picture (link below) on pinterest last night and I told my husband that I HAD to make it for Baby Sis! It was such a quick project, so I wanted to share it with all of you! When you click on the original link to the photo linked below in pinterest, it just brings you to google. So if you know who created this darling project and idea please let me know so that I can give them credit!
Here’s a link to the original on pinterest. Due to legal things I’m a little squeamish to put the actual picture up on my post…So please head over there to see the original. It is super cute!
Would you like to make one too?
For the base of my hat, I used my basic beanie pattern .
You can find one similar to the one that I used here.
It is a very well written tutorial and super easy to follow!
It is a very well written tutorial and super easy to follow!
Once your base is done you will need a pair of scissors and a crochet needle.
We are going to do the bangs first. You’ll note in the original picture that her bangs are cut, which is totally ok, but all of my dolls had loops for bangs so I went in that direction!
I determined what would be the front of my hat. Then went to work.
1. Flatten it out in half.
2. Cut a very long string of yarn and thread your needle.
3. Starting TWO ROWS from the BOTTOM you will poke your needle through the first hole that is on one side of the front half of your beanie.
4. Pull your string through until you reach the end and tie a knot creating a loop. Hide your knot on the inside.
5. In the SAME hole you will make 2 more loops which wrap around the bottom of your hat and back to the hole you poked through.
6. Once you’ve made three loops in one hole you will move onto the next hole in your row and make another three loops. You will repeat this step across the front half of your hat.
7. Once you reach the other edge, tie off your final loop with the knot hidden on the inside again.
You’re ready for your pigtails!
8. Set aside about an 8 inch string of yarn.
9. Grab your nearest thin DVD case and wrap your yarn around it 50 times.
10. Cut on ONE edge of your wrapped yarn. Find the middle of your yarn bundle and wrap it with your piece of yarn you set aside. Tie it tight! It will look almost like a tassel.
11. TWO rows from the TOP of your hat (keeping it folded in half) thread one of the ends of your 8 inch strings through a hole that is on the edge of the second row. With your second end of your 8 inch string thread it through the hole right next to the one your put the other string in.
12. Tie a knot on the inside of your beanie. Make sure it’s a good one!
13. Repeat steps 8-12 on the other side.
14. Put it on a super cute baby and take lots of pictures!

Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your stay.
That is adorable! I'm so glad I finally made it over to your blog to check it out! I can't wait to read more.

Amy, I'm so glad that you made it over too!
Thank you so much!
I think I found the designer of the original pattern on Ravelry if you haven’t already found her.
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cabbage-patch-hat
I think I like your version a little better. My sisters and I had to share a Cabbage Patch doll named Fern Lizzie. We changed it to Jean Marie. I could see this hat in her red orange hair with braids!
That’s awesome that you found the original designer and her pattern! That way people can choose which style they like. Thank you so much for sharing the link with me.
I loved my cabbage patch doll. Her name was Deedee Mae. I lost her when we moved for my first time. I’m still sad about it to this day! This hat would be darling in red orange hair!
Umm, that hat is amazing! I have this weird obsession with cabbage patch dolls, they smell so good and remind me of being a kid. I will definitely make this hat for little Ada! Ack, I'm really excited about this one!
I LOVE them too! Especially their smell! You should totally make it for you! You'll have to send me a picture and let me know how it turns out!
What a cutie! This hat is so awesome! Now I want another daughter.
It was so quick to make! I bet you can still make it for your daughter!
Such a cute hat! My daughter would tug at those tassels! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you! Thank goodness my little girlie hasn't discovered them yet…otherwise I think she might consider it!
The hat is so adorable and so is the cute little baby. It was great talking with you last week.
Thank you!
I'm partial to both 
But I 'm definitely more partial to the cute baby! It was wonderful talking to you last week too. I'm so glad that you came to visit!
So, so, so, so, so, so cute!!! & the hat is ahhh-dorable, too!!!
Thanks so much for sharing – so glad I found your page!!
((Hugs))

Thank you!! I'm so glad that you found my page too!
I love that you came to visit!
Oh that's just too cute. And I love that those little fat cheeks too. I have a fat faced baby and I can't keep my hands off those cheeks. But he's a boy, so I'll have to save this hat for a girl one day.
I hope you'll stop by for our Friday link up. http://five4fivemeals.squarespace.com/main/2012/8/9/friday-five-link-up.html
Thank you! It's because of her cheeks that I thought she looked like a cabbage patch doll and I knew she needed the hat!
I bet he appreciates you saving the hat for when you have a girl!
I'll definitely be by to link up!
Oh my goodness this made me giggle and giggle. As a little girl, my cabbage patch doll had hair exactly like this but in blonde!- this turned out so cute I may have to make one for my 6 month-old.
Isn't it so fun! My little girlie is 6 months old too! You should totally make one and send me a picture
I bet it would look SO cute! 
So I finally got this off my to-fun list last night and your tutorial was crazy easy to follow!! thx! here's how mine turned out
http://glimpsesofthemoon.blogspot.com/
I'm so glad it was easy to follow! I LOVE how this turned out! I especially love how you personalized it!
That IS the cutest hat ever!! Nice job. I'm glad you linked up to Romance on a dime's TIOT party!
Thanks girl! I'm glad that you host the party!
My best friend had a cabbage patch kid costume when we were little girls. I was always so jealous of it and she never let me put it on. This reminds me so much of it. So cute!
Kristin, if you would like, I will make one just for you!
This cabbage patch crochet hat is great! We'd love to feature this on CraftFoxes.com as a how-to. Interested? Feel free to email me at bethany@craftfoxes.com for more info.
I totally just shot you an email!
Very cute! Your model is even cuter!
Thank you! She is cute isn't she?!
Love, Love, Love it!!! What a cute idea and such a sweet model
Thank you for both of your sweet compliments! I'm definitely pretty partial to my model!
Oh my goodness! My mom collected CPK when we were younger. She had like 220 at once. This brings back memories, haha! ♥
That's awesome! Hopefully it's all good memories!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
This cracks me up. I found this pin http://pinterest.com/pin/242842604878056635/ when my little one was a baldy and not looking like she was EVER going to get hair. I don't have mad yarn skills so I never tackled it! Your version would have more of a chance of staying on their head
I'm glad! My little girlie lost her hair…i'm hoping it comes in soon…Thank you so much for your comment and for stopping by!
This is so stinking cute! Thanks for the great tutorial! I would love for you to share it on my weekly linky party Blog Stalking Thursday. http://www.thecraftyblogstalker.com/2012/08/blog-stalking-thursday-54.html
I totally already linked up!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your compliments!
Too adorable! Your little one has the perfect cheeks for a Cabbage Patch kid, too
I host a link party with two other blogs. When you add your link, your project will show up on all three blogs. I'd love to have you drop in and link up! http://www.hideousdreadfulstinky.com/2012/08/eat-make-grow-thursday-3.html
Thank you! I think she does too! She reminded me of one a lot, and when I saw the originally pinned picture I had to give it a shot! Thank you so much for inviting me to your party!
Now if this isn't just the cutest thing, I don't know what is!?!?!?!?
JoAnn
Aww thanks JoAnn! I so love having you as a blog friend!
Can't get over how cute this is!!! My Cabbage patch doll is pretty much the only toy I kept over the years and my lil girl plays with it today! This made my heart swell!!!
http://www.Papercutsnbandaids.blogspot.com
Thank you so much! I' so glad that it made you happy! Hearing that makes me happy!
The crazy thing is someone recently asked me for a pattern for this! It's on my “to create” list! Love it!
That's too funny! It really is a quick project!
This takes me back to being a little girl! She looks just like a cute little Cabbage Patch doll!
I want to squeeze her and give her a kiss on the cheek {in a totally non-creepy way…lol}. Thanks for sharing at Shine on Fridays!
It took me back too! I loved my first cabbage patch doll so it warmed my momma heart to see her in it. I totally would let you love on her and squeeze her anyday! Thanks for hosting the party, and for being so kind.
Such a cute idea! And even cuter baby
Thanks Kara! I'm so happy that you stopped by!

Thank you so very much! It was seriously so easy to do! Once you learn the double crochet stitch this will be in the bag!
I think that your hat is very cute and so is your little girl!
That is so kind of you. Thank you so very much! I appreciate you coming by!
Super Super Cute! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Christina, I'm so glad you stopped by!
So cute! Looks just like my first cabbage patch doll! I’m so glad you linked this up at One Creative Weekend! I love it! Hope your weekend is fantastic.
Thank you Heidi! I appreciate you stopping by! I hope you have a fantastic weekend as well!
Great job on a very creative hat! Your daughter is adorable, I love cabbage patch dolls… always have!
Thank you so much! I love them too! I think they are adorable and so much fun. I appreciate you stopping by!
I think this is adorable! I seen it the other day and promptly sent it to my cousin to make for me =) And no matter what anyone says, men included especially, it's cute and was made with love =)
Thank you! I'm so glad that you like it! You'll have to let me know how it turns out!
I think this is not only adorable but hard to make (I can't knot or crochet to save my life) and I applaud you for posting it. I was horrified to read that someone had mocked your creation and I hope and pray you didn't take a word of it to heart! You do beautiful work and should be proud of what you have made! Keep on on keeping on and I will be following and cheering you on!
Hugs,
Maureen
That is so kind of you Maureen, I really appreciate you stopping by and sharing your sweet words and support! I am honored to have you as a new follower and friend!
Such a cute little hat!!! Wish I could crochet…
Thanks Pam! I definitely have to admit I consider myself a beginner. I only know that basic steps…and I learned how to with a beginner crochet book, I can look for the title for you if you'd like. If you know how to do a double crochet stitch you can totally make this hat!
Hi Jess, I ADORE your hat!! It is so cute!! I'm visiting from Happy Hour Projects and I cannot believe that anyone would mock this. Like Maureen I cannot knit or crochet to save my life, so to create that and share it with the world AND post the tutorial, my hats off to you!!
Keep creating and PLEASE keep sharing. Hugs, Rebecca
Thank you so much for coming by and sharing your support! I'll definitely keep creating and sharing, I can't help it! It's what I love!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
This is an adorable hat!! I love it!! I'm visiting from Happy Hour Projects and I cannot believe that anyone would mock this project. I wish I could knit or crochet. I have tried several times and just cannot get the hang of it. Love the hat, love the photos and have a great weekend!! Hugs, Rebecca
Thank you so much for coming by and sharing your support! I'll definitely keep creating and sharing, I can't help it! It's what I love!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Too cute! Both baby and cap:)
Thank you! On both accounts!
SUPER cute! Wish that I had a little chubba bubba baby that could wear it! My daughter is 14…. SUPER CUTE!
Thank you! She definitely makes it easy to pull off! Your daughter might be a little old for it…but who knows she might be willing to wear one!
This is cutest thing ever, and your daughter is precious! Just joined you on FB and GFC. Can't wait to see what you create next.
Thank you! I'm pretty partial to her myself
I'm honored that you will be joining me and so glad that you came by!
Stopping by from Happy Hour Projects. This is really cute!!! That baby is adorable!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet compliments! I appreciate it!
I don't know which is cuter…the hat or the adorable baby! Great!

Warmly, Michelle
Thank you so much for your sweet comment and for hosting the weekly party! I will DEFINITELY be back!
OH MY GOODNESS! This hat is beyond cute!!! Of course, you already know that, but still!
This is so cute and she’s a doll baby. Thank you for sharing at the party at Snips and Spice.
Thank you! I have a blast dressing her up!
Thanks so much for this tutorial. Here’s a link to my Cabbage Patch beanie that I made using your instructions http://seamsoflife.typepad.com/seams_of_life/2012/10/cabbage-patch-beanie.html.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad that you were able to use it! I LOVED how it turned out! I am going to have to feature it! So cute!
Thanks for this. My 10yr old son was wanting to dress as something funny for school Halloween & I couldn’t find a pattern for this hat. Thanks again!
No problem…I’m glad I could help.
So glad I found your blog!! I love this pattern & would love to make one for my baby (who we all hope is a girl!)
Thank you! I’m glad you found my blog too! You’ll have to make one and let me know how it goes! Baby girls are so fun! But so are baby boys.
I found this recently and loved it! I can’t crochet so I asked a friend to make my daughter a hat then I added the bangs and pig tails. We wore it on her with a cute outfit for a fall festival as her costume and she was the talk of the night! I am still getting comments about how adorable it was! I plan to change out the bows to match her winter coat and use it all winter! I wish I could add a picture of her. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thank you! I’m so glad that you were able to make it work for you! If you’d like me to feature her you can always shoot me an email!
I have never crocheted before. and I really want to make this for my little girls. It is too expensive to buy and I think it would be fun to make. I am stuck on part 4 -6.
Let me figure out how to better describe it and take some more pictures of that step. And, I’ll let you know!
Thank You! That is so nice.
How much would you say the materials for this particular hat cost? I saw this on pinterest also and thought it might be a great project for the children at St. Judes. (I live in Nashville and have family in Memphis, TN where the hospital is located.) I am learning to crochet and would also like to know the project difficulty. Your photos make it seem so easy.
Thank you!
I’d say that you’re looking at just the cost of yarn you’d like to use for the hat. So if you buy a pound of yarn with a coupon it could cut the cost down dramatically. I prefer to use a softer yarn so that it’s softer on the little ones head. A skeen of that style yarn runs between 5-10$ but you shouldn’t need the entire skeen for just one hat. I think you could get 2 possibly 3 hats out of it. I think the difficulty of the hat part alone is easy and I think the bangs part is medium to figure out at the beginning but then super easy as well. It really was an easy project. Just time consuming to do because I crochet VERRRRRYYYY SLLLLLOOOOWWW. I hope that helps answer your questions!
This is awesome and adorable. If I wanted to make the bangs shaggy how would o do it? THANKS
I’m not sure how you would make the bangs shaggy. You could find a link for the original pattern with the shaggy bangs in the comments section of this post! I hope that helps.
I would love to have an adult size one of these. I have Leukemia and am bald headed and it would be so much fun to wear this around and to the hospital during my many chemo visits. The nurses would love it. Is it possible to be made in an adult reg sized head size? Can it be made without the fringe on front as bangs and just only have the pig tails?
Christine, I would love to make you an adult sized one! I can definitely make it without the fringe and just the pigtails, I’ll shoot you an email for more details!
