Cute Cluster Stitch Baby Hat Crochet Pattern with Crochet Flower

This is such a pretty crochet baby hat pattern. 0-3 months, newborn sizes)  written to Help those who have maybe just started crocheting but feel you are ready to take the next steps and try something a little bit more advanced crochet stitches

I have tried to include more steps and instructions than in a plain crochet hat pattern, to help those who are attempting to work in the cluster stitch for the first time.

Newborn size and 3 months size are shown in the picture

 

This cute little number was inspired by a crochet baby hat I saw online, When I saw this cute little crochet baby beanie I knew I just had to make it, it will be a really great pattern for any size, just keep increasing the clusters row by row until desired size/circumference of the head is achieved.

I am an extremely loose crocheter If you feel the hat will be too small you may find you need to add in another round of Increases.

Newborn Size – Hat height 5-5.5 inches Crown Width – 4-4.5 inches Approx

Ch – chain

Dc – double crochet

YO – yarn over

Sl st – slip stitch

dc-double crochet

*cluster – Easy way to remember this stitch is simply work you are working 3dc together IN the same space.  cluster stitch

*Make a dc within one step of finishing* (2 loops left on hook)

*Make a dc within one step of finishing * (3 loops left on hook)

*Make a dc within one step of finishing * (4 loops left on hook)

Yarn Over, pull through all 4 loops on hook.=1 cluster made

 

 

for preemie/doll/ (12 inches around) USE A 4.00mm hook  and follow instructions for the Newborn Hat Pattern

 

I crochet extremely loosely so you MAY find you need to go up a hook size to achieve the finished sizing.

Round 1: 
Chain 3 and work the FIRST Dc cluster into the first chain from hook, and continue around OR

Magic Ring and work all stitches Inside the ring,

ch 3  (counts as first dc of the cluster in each rnd following , Make a dc within one step of finishing (2 loops left on hook) Repeat until 4 loops left on the hook. YO, pull through  loops on hook * ch 2, Slip into next ch2 space, *Cluster st *, ch 2. Repeat from  * to *  a further 4 times. Pull the ring tight to close.
To join slip st to first ch-2 sp. (5 clusters in total)

Round 2:
