My
daughter has been pretty into watching Lalaloopsy cartoons on Netflix
recently. To be honest, so has my son! Haha! One day recently I
watched a little bit with them and decided that I absolutely needed
to make a hat inspired by Lalaloopsy. The characters are just begging
to be recreated in yarn, don't ya think???
Supplies:
1
skein of worsted weight yarn in your hair color. I went with blue at
my daughter's request but you can pretty much do any color you want.
1
skein of worsted weight yarn in your skin color. Pretty much any of
the neutral shades will do
2
buttons, at least 1” in diameter but larger if you'd like
Small
amounts of black and pink yarn
Size
I crochet hook
Yarn
needle
Scissors
White
ribbon (or any ribbon that coordinates well with your hair color)
Stitches
used in this pattern:
HDC
(Half Double Crochet)
SC
(Single Crochet)
Magic
Circle
Slip
Stitch (sl st)
Chain
(ch)
3HDC
in one stitch
- These
stitch counts are based on medium/worsted weight yarn
- ALWAYS
begin in same stitch as your chain 1.
- Your
Chain 1 never counts as a half double crochet
- The number in parentheses at the end of each round is the total stitch count for that round. Example: (44 HDC)

(90HDC). For adult size hats you could make your starting chain longer and for newborn hats, a bit shorter. It's all up to you!
Make
10.
Sew
onto top of hat with five on each side.
Cut
white ribbon long enough to tie bows. It helps to run the edges of
the ribbon through a flame to prevent fraying but be careful not to
burn yourself!
Eyes
Use
two black buttons, preferably with four holes. I used one inch
buttons because that was the largest I could get at the store that
day, but I think slightly larger buttons would look better.
After
sewing onto face, use black yarn to stitch eyelashes if desired.
Mouth
Chain
10 or so stitches. I started with 15 and pulled one out at a time as
I adjusted the smile until it was the length I wanted. I ended up
with 10 on a child size hat so you may need more or less depending on
your hat size and how loose or tight you stitch. Fasten off and leave
a long tail. Use the tail to sew the mouth onto the hat.

Weave in all loose ends and make everything neat. Enjoy!
As always, you may use this pattern for personal use or create hats to sell but please, please give credit to this blog by linking back to this post. I put a lot of hours and effort into these patterns and pictures. Thanks!
