Ponytail Girls Hat

CindyLeave a comment

You probably have seen these ponytail hats or messy bun hats that people are sporting these days. I crocheted this ponytail girl’s hat for my granddaughter. I looked at a few patterns but didn’t see the size and style that I was exactly looking for. So I set out and created this hat and will share the pattern details below.

I will first say that my GD has very thick hair and so this opening is fairly wide at 3.75 inches. I did use the vertical stripe hat pattern for the basis of my ponytail hat.

I crocheted a chain of 25 to begin for hole for the ponytail and joined it to make a ring. Then I worked 33 double crochet (DC) around the chain ring and then followed the pattern of DCs for 6 rows. I then started working the front and back post DCs. Check your length before you finish off to make sure your hat is long enough.

Below is a closeup photo of the top opening for the ponytail.

More Cabled Hats

I have been working on crocheting more cabled hats for charity. These hats use my free cabled hat pattern. They work up very fast and is an easy pattern if you are just beginning to crochet. Very simple cables that make into a crocheted adult hat in just a few hours.

You can add a few stripes like I did in this hat project. I crocheted the stripes at rows 6-7 and again at row 10. Just carry the yarn behind your work for the color changes.

Of course you can always just use one color of yarn as shown in this grey cabled hat.

And one more striped hat project to share. This striped hat was done in Washington State University colors.

More Crocheted Hats

I have been busy crocheting more hats for Warmth for Warriors. I just finished up a shipment of 6 hats and 12 mini Christmas stockings to the organization. Here are a few of my latest finish-offs.

This hat was a new pattern I tried called Dream Weaver. It uses a bulky yarn and I used Premier Puzzle yarn in the Backgammon colorway. This was my first time crocheting a hat with bulky yarn and I was very pleased with the outcome and the pattern was great.

Next is a Lakeside hat that I crocheted using several different bits of scrap yarns to complete. I wasn’t sure about using the blue but I think it came out looking nice with the blue stripe. Some Veteran will enjoy it I’m hopeful. I love the Lakeside hat pattern and you can find the free pattern here.

Below is a striped ribbed band hat I crocheted using my own ribbed hat pattern. This is an old standby pattern I have used for many years. You can find the free crochet hat pattern here.

Just to share the rest of my crocheted hats, here they are.

Cabled Hat Pattern

A few weeks ago I introduced the cable scarf pattern and just love this stitch pattern. I decided that it would make a great hat pattern also. I have crocheted this hat pattern using several different hook sizes. The I hook makes a ladies sized hat and smaller men’s sized hat. The J hook creates a large men’s hat. I crochet fairly tight so use the hook you feel is appropriate for your gauge. My gauge with an I hook is 2 inches = 7 stitches and 5 rows. Gauge with a J hook is 2 inches = 6 stitches and 4.5 rows.

This blue hat was crocheted using an I (5.25 mm) crochet hook.

Here is the same hat crocheted using a J (6 mm) crochet hook.

My Cabled Hat Pattern
I (5.25-5.5 mm) crochet hook = Adult 21” cir by 9″ long
J (6 mm) crochet hook = Adult 22” cir by 9.5” long

Yarn – 3.5 ounces worsted weight (medium) 4-ply
Note: Ch 2 at beg of each round counts as DC.

Ch 71. Join to make a ring and making sure your chain is not twisted.
(You will be working in the round and not turning your work as you crochet this hat.)

Rnd 1
Ch 1, Sc into the 2nd bump loop in the back of the chain to create a smooth edge.

Crocheted Baby Hats

Time to crochet some baby hats for the local hospital nursery. These little hats are just so fun and cute. They take just a small amount of yarn and crochet up so quickly. Here are two crocheted newborn baby hats with a scalloped edging added. Here is the link for the free Scalloped Baby Hat Pattern.

You might be seeing more pom pom hats from me this year. I received a Clover pom pom maker for Christmas and have been using it a lot lately. The smallest pom pom maker in the kit is 1-3/8 inches and makes just the best little pom pom for baby hats. Here is my first one to share.
