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.

Love this!! Thank you for the pattern. Do you know how to make one for a boy?
I’ve had a couple requests for a boy version so I will add one soon.
Thank you!!
do you join at the end of your rounds?
No, I stated in the notes that rnds are not joined unless specified. 🙂
have a question ,in the pictures of other cabbage patch hats I see that they have on some a hat then the hair coming out from under the hat ,are you going to or have you made one like this. as a patter to put on your site. Will you try to make one,like that/I can’t thank you enough for shareing your patterns,God BNless you because for us on SS money isn’t easy to come by,LOve you Peggy8650
I don’t have one.. maybe you could find what you’re looking for HERE
Dearest Debi, you are so very kind to share your pattern with us. I create my own patters also, I should write them down because when I try to make them again well no two are alike.Thank you again.
And Thank You! 🙂 If you can write out what you do you totally should.. Stat blogging.. You could earn some $$. If you’re interested sometime I might be able to help you get started.
Debi.I would be interested in knowing how to earn money blogging…l would love any help u can give.. thanks, Christina
I 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.
Could u help me get started !! Lol I’d like to make a blog and earn money just from crocheting !!
I can! It’s easiest to talk on Facebook you can find me as Debi Dearest
First 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?
No 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.
How would you make this bigger? Say for a 4 yr old
find a 4 year old basic hdc beanie and then add a 3 rnds of loop/sc sts to the end.
I 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?
You 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.
Thanks so much Debi. I would love to have the boy pattern. . How can I be sure not to miss it?
I have 4 options for the Cabbage Patch Kid hats HERE. There are 3 patterns, the boys one can also be turned into a girls.
Dear 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
How do you make the bangs?
Some people cut the loop in the center
Hi Debi!
I love this pattern, I’m about to attempt to make it adult size…wish me luck! 🙂
Good luck! 🙂
Says it is free pattern but I cannot see any way to get the pattern. Won’t copy and paste. No pdf link. How do you get this cute pattern?
thanks

Miss 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
You just continue working around unless it says join with sl st.
Do you have this pattern in a larger size?
Nope, just work up a reg hdc beanie in the size you want then work the loop stitch in the last inch of work.
Can u tell me how much yarn is needed to make this???
Any worsted weight yarn would be fine. I used Red Heart Soft Touch.
I am curious on how much yarn too? I understand what kind just not how much.
3 oz of Red Heart Soft Touch Yarn Grape (approximately 174 yards/160 meters)
Do 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?
Round 15 explains how to do the loop stitches so you don’t have to turn your hat inside out.
I 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.
In order to make the additional lp st rounds, do you work in additional hdc rounds then lp st into them?
How absolutely adorable! sadly I am a knitter and not a crocheter; any way I cam buy a finished hat?
I don’t sell finished items but you can contact Christeen on her fan page, she makes finished items from my patterns. https://www.facebook.com/christeenscrafts?ref=ts&fref=ts
I am just making one now! So Visit me on Etsy.com The Krafty Chic….to order them.
I make these :}
You can email me at [email protected] if u r interested? :}
YOU CAN EASILY MAKE ONE WITH A KNITTING PATTERN.
It would take me a life time to figure out knit lol 😛
I’m about to work on one of these too!!! 🙂 I’ve made one before from a different pattern so I thought I’d give this one a try and see which I like better 🙂
I made this hat for my great granddaughter, it came out adorable. Thank you!
Are the return loop stich rows (16) and (18) single crochet or half double crochet?
Thank you
Rnd 15 to 18 are all loop stitch worked in continuous rounds.
Do you have this pattern in larger sizes?
No, only newborn sizing.
I’ve made 3 of these following your directions!!! Everyone that I give them too loves them!!! Great directions!!! Easy to follow! Thank you!!
This is hilarious, I can’t wait to make one! I kind of want to make an adult one too! LOL
I love your hats. I saw one person selling them on Amazon for close to $30.00
For adult size that is a reasonable price.
how many chains do at beging part to make circle?
If you cannot work the magic ring, ch 2, work 8 hdc in beg ch.
I’m worried about the loops coming out is there a way to prevent this?
I’ve never had them come out, you could lightly tug the loops once they are finished to tighten them.
I have made 6 since last week, and have made from newborn to adult, very easy pattern, Thank You
How do you do other sizes for this?
Thank you! I made one for the little girl that I watch! she loved it! the look on her face when she saw it was priceless! i added your link on my page , thanks again!

On the larger sizes when you say to do the three rows of LS, do you also still sl st around after the final round?
Yes the last round would be a round of sl st.
Please tell me what is a magic ring?
