Crochet Cabbage Patch Kid Newborn Beanie
Crochet Cabbage Patch Kid Newborn Beanie was a request from a friend. She asked me if I could make one and I accepted the challenge.
For this pattern you will need to know how to work up the loop stitch (lp st). You can find a great video tutorial for this stitch from Planet June on YouTube HERE. My loops were made by wrapping the yarn around my index finger just as shown in the video tutorial.
If you're looking for a boy's version of the Crochet Cabbage Patch Kid Beanie there's one HERE.
This Crochet Cabbage Patch Kid Newborn Beanie pattern works up pretty quick and is sure to be a great gift for any little one expecting a little baby girl.

Adding Pigtails..
You will need 6 scrap strips about 8" long, these strips will be used to tie the pig tails together. (You will only need 4 if you are braiding your ties.
Cut strips 18" long. I cut 40 strips for each side. Take your 40 strips and find the center, using one of your scrap strips, tie it around the center of your strips in a double knot making sure your scrap strip has long enough tails to use to attach the pig tails to the hat. To attach the pig tails to the hat, lay your hat flat and mark on each side of the fold where you would like your braids. Use the scrap ties you tied around the center of your pig tails to attach them by tying them around the post of a hdc stitch on the hat.
Tie one of your scrap strips around the center of the pig tail and one at the bottom on both sides making sure that both sides are done even or you can braid the ties and use a strip to tie the braids off at the end.
Add ribbon bows around the top of pig tails.

December 4, 2014 at 5:39 AMDebi.I would be interested in knowing how to earn money blogging…l would love any help u can give.. thanks, Christina
DearestDebi says
December 4, 2014 at 1:15 PMI went to school for web design and graphics over 15 years ago but I never went anywhere with it until I started blogging just over 2 years ago. There’s lots of blogging 101 help and tutorials online.
Debbie says
July 16, 2013 at 8:25 AMFirst of all let me say, I’m extremely new to the crochet world so if my question is silly, I apologize in advance! I’m confused on how to attach the pigtails. How do you keep it from being “frayed” at the hat where you attach the pigtails? could you attach a picture of that part?
DearestDebi says
July 16, 2013 at 10:26 AMNo worries. I had the same troubles when I first started out. I usually add the pigtails to a string tie which is used to attach them, there is an image HERE of some braided ties before they are added. Because you won’t be braiding the ties you will want to put your string tie in the center of your strips and tie it into a knot to hold them together.
linda says
August 16, 2013 at 4:56 PMHow would you make this bigger? Say for a 4 yr old
DearestDebi says
August 16, 2013 at 5:06 PMfind a 4 year old basic hdc beanie and then add a 3 rnds of loop/sc sts to the end.
Erin says
February 24, 2015 at 11:19 AMI want my sister to make this hat for my daughter but she would be a 3-6 month size. I found a basic pattern for a hdc beanie but do we add an extra 3 rounds of loops stitches to the end or make the last 3 rows loop stitch? If adding 3 extra rounds wouldn’t it be too long?
DearestDebi says
February 24, 2015 at 5:45 PMYou would work the hat so it’s about an inch to an inch and a half shorter than you would want it so that way you have room to add the loop stitches.
Diana says
August 16, 2013 at 6:47 PMThanks so much Debi. I would love to have the boy pattern. . How can I be sure not to miss it?
DearestDebi says
August 16, 2013 at 10:27 PMI have 4 options for the Cabbage Patch Kid hats HERE. There are 3 patterns, the boys one can also be turned into a girls.
Diana says
August 16, 2013 at 11:18 PMDear Debi, , and you really are. Besides the boy’s, I love the ponytail one. Hope to make both of these for shower gifts. You are so talented and generous to share with us
Jaime says
August 16, 2013 at 10:25 PMHow do you make the bangs?
DearestDebi says
August 16, 2013 at 11:14 PMSome people cut the loop in the center
heather says

thanks

Krickit says
October 7, 2013 at 2:43 PMMiss Debbi… This is only my second time trying to follow a pattern, and I know I’m not using the proper terminology… But after each round, are you supposed to “move up a level” so as the finished work looks like rings of crocheted rows? Or do you just sort of keep going after each round, so that out looks more like a spiral. Sorry for asking a stupid question, but it said at the beginning to not join rounds unless specified, and I guess I don’t know how it would be specified. Thank you in advance, Krickit
DearestDebi says
October 7, 2013 at 3:39 PMYou just continue working around unless it says join with sl st.
Danielle says
October 9, 2013 at 1:28 PMDo you have this pattern in a larger size?
DearestDebi says
October 9, 2013 at 2:14 PMNope, just work up a reg hdc beanie in the size you want then work the loop stitch in the last inch of work.
Brenda says
October 30, 2013 at 10:15 AMCan u tell me how much yarn is needed to make this???
DearestDebi says
October 30, 2013 at 1:12 PMAny worsted weight yarn would be fine. I used Red Heart Soft Touch.
Jennifer says
January 4, 2014 at 10:58 AMI am curious on how much yarn too? I understand what kind just not how much.
DearestDebi says
January 4, 2014 at 11:19 AM3 oz of Red Heart Soft Touch Yarn Grape (approximately 174 yards/160 meters)
Tamara says
January 3, 2014 at 8:28 PMDo the loops end up on the wrong side? meaning will I have to turn the hat inside out after so the loops are on the outside?
DearestDebi says
January 4, 2014 at 12:14 AMRound 15 explains how to do the loop stitches so you don’t have to turn your hat inside out.
Holly says
January 5, 2014 at 12:05 PMI just made this hat yesterday. You don’t have to turn the hat inside out, but I found it was easier to work with and find the stitches having it inside out.
Elizabeth says
January 4, 2014 at 12:09 PMIn order to make the additional lp st rounds, do you work in additional hdc rounds then lp st into them?
Marlene says
January 4, 2014 at 2:07 PMHow absolutely adorable! sadly I am a knitter and not a crocheter; any way I cam buy a finished hat?
DearestDebi says

Denise McCaskill says

DearestDebi says
January 13, 2014 at 7:13 PMFor adult size that is a reasonable price.
shannon keats says
January 15, 2014 at 12:23 PMhow many chains do at beging part to make circle?
DearestDebi says
January 15, 2014 at 4:19 PMIf you cannot work the magic ring, ch 2, work 8 hdc in beg ch.
laura says
January 17, 2014 at 2:31 AMI’m worried about the loops coming out is there a way to prevent this?
DearestDebi says
January 17, 2014 at 11:31 AMI’ve never had them come out, you could lightly tug the loops once they are finished to tighten them.
Bev says
January 18, 2014 at 6:58 AMI have made 6 since last week, and have made from newborn to adult, very easy pattern, Thank You
Pam says

jeanette says
October 25, 2015 at 12:40 AMOn the larger sizes when you say to do the three rows of LS, do you also still sl st around after the final round?
DearestDebi says
October 26, 2015 at 10:57 AMYes the last round would be a round of sl st.
