My Little Pony hat – free written pattern

Hello,
Today I prepared pattern for “My Little Pony” hat. The pattern is very easy to follow and suitable for beginners as well. It’s not very time consuming, so you can still manage to make the hat before Christmas. There are instructions for all sizes from babies to adult.
You can use any material you desire (even leftovers), although I suggest to use soft acrylic for the hair/curls.

My Little Pony hat

Materials: 

I used 150g(50g white) of soft acrylic yarn. (Any yarn would be just fine, as long as it suites your purposes) H/5mm hook, /2mm hook, E/4mm hook, tapestry needle.

Terms/Abbreviations: I used US terminology 

MR               Magic ring                 

st.               stitch                           

slst.             slip stitch                   

ch               chain                           

sc                single crochet            

hdc              half double crochet  

dc               double crochet          

*()*             repeat what’s in the brackets                       

tog.             together   

prev.            previous

rd.               round

rw.               row                   

rep.              repeat

Size:

The hat can have any size you desire. The important thing is to measure your child’s head around and than divide it by number 3,14. (Example: My little girl’s head is measuring cca 50cm/20” around. 50cm/20” divided by number 3,14 is cca 16cm/6,4”. That is the point when you should stop adding sc st. For the hat on the picture it was round 11.) See picture below.

!!!!! That is where I ended the ears for my hat.  If you like to make bigger ones, continue in the same way. 

Hair/Curl: (I made 15 longer and 4 fringe ones)

Use E/4mm hook or any other size of the hook suitable for you.

---Leaving a long beginning tail ch31, sc in 2nd ch from the hook, sc-hdc-dc in next ch, 3dc in each of next ch to the end. Leave longer tail as well.---

This first curl will give you guideline for the next ones. If you would like longer curls ch 40-60, for shorter curls 30-40, for fringe 15-20 and follow the instructions for 1st curl.

 

Assembly:

Now you have to arrange and sew everything together as you can see on the pictures. It does take a little bit of time and patience, but it’s worth it.

And last of all I went around all of the hat and the ear flaps with round of sc.

All finished. 

If you came up with any problems or difficulties, write to me, I’ll be more than happy to help.

Have a nice week
