Free Pattern: Tulip Stitch Hat - Newborn


Isn't this hat lovely?  This hat has such a sweet, girly texture.  I learned this stitch from The Crochet Stitch Bible. (It's called the Paris stitch in the book.)  Gorgeous bow by Bella Designs





Supplies:
Sport weight yarn (I used Bernat Snuggly)
4.25mm hook
Opt tapestry needle for weaving in

Abbreviations:
Ch - chain
Dc - double crochet
Sc - single crochet
Sl st - slip stitch


Four double crochet rounds are pictured, but the hat in the photo was a bit pointy on the top when I put it on the baby doll.  So I changed the instructions to reflect a 3-round increase (you may recognize it from the bobble hat).  I will include what I did for the pictured hat in the comments.

Instructions:
Round 1:  Magic Ring, ch 3, 15 dc. Pull ring tight, join to top ch of ch 3.
Round 2: Ch 3. 2 dc in each dc around, join to top ch of ch 3. (30)
Round 3: Ch 3. 2 dc first dc, dc next 2 dc, repeat around, join to top ch of ch 3. (40)
Round 4: Ch 3. In next dc, [dc, ch 2, sc].  *Skip 2 dc.  In next dc [2 dc, ch 2, sc].  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to the side rib of the middle chain in the ch-3 space.
Round 5: Ch 3.  Turn.  In next ch-2 sp, [dc, ch 2, sc].  In each ch-2 sp around [2 dc, ch 2, sc].  Join with a sl st to the side rib of the middle chain in the ch-3 space.
Rounds 6-15: Repeat round 5.  Finish off, weave in ends.

  1. The instructions for the pictured hat (which turned out pointier) differ from the written instructions as follows:
    Round 1: Magic Ring, ch 3, 15 dc. Pull ring tight to close, join with sl st to top ch of ch 3.
    Round 2: 2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc. Repeat around. (23 dc)
    Round 3: 2 dc in next dc, dc in next 2 dc. Repeat around. (29 dc)
    Round 4: 2 dc in next dc, dc in next 3 dc. Repeat around. (37 dc)
    (The first tulip stitch row had 2 left over, so instead of skipping 2 st, in the last tulip stitch I only skipped 1)

  3. I made the hat again and figured out a better way to join. I updated the pattern. The seam will still be visible, but it should be only about as visible as a seam in a double crochet hat.

  5. This is gorgeous! I am making as many newborn hats on your site as my amount of yarn will allow and will be donating them to my hospital. Six down, many more to go. I look forward to crocheting this one! Thanks!

    1. You can copy and paste the pattern into your word processor (eg microsoft word). If you don't have a word processor, download Open Office from the internet for free. It has a word processor you can use.

    1. The flower was on an alligator clip, so I just clipped it through a space.

  19. It is unclear to me the instruction to "join with a sl st to the side rib of the middle chain in the ch-3 space." Can you help me out?

  20. Hi. Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern. Does the chain 3 at the beginning of the round count as a dc?
