Looking for a floppy baby hat

[ManyTimesBlessed]

I'd like a pattern for a floppy sun hat for a baby (6-12 mo). The easier & quicker the better, I'd like to have this in time for a bday coming up soon. Thanks :)

You know, I created a floppy hat for my little one last September - I didnt write down what I was doing when I made it.

We were taking a few days in Sea World and Lego Land and her poor little head was bare so instead of buying a hat for her, I crocheted her one. She was about 7-8 months old at the time. What I did was I measured it over her head as I worked. I started with the crochet in the round, increasing it when I needed to and doing sc all around when it didnt need to get bigger around her head...then at the forehead point I just started increasing a lot every other round or so and did sc in the other rounds to make the floppy brim all the way around the hat.

I still have the hat, I could get it and write down what I can see of it if you're interested. I also added a tie on it to put under her chin to keep it on her head. I dont know if this helps any? Maybe someone can whip you up a link with a floppy hat lol. BTW, this hat STILL fits her at 18 months old lol, but she doesnt like things on her head.

Here is a pattern I have used a couple of times.

You will have to sign up to be a member to get to the pattern I think...but that is not a bad thing. She has lots of free nice patterns.

These are the 2 floppy hats I made.

Does anyone find that cat pitcher -picture obscene? Or is it just me?:thinking1

I love the hats!

I see nothing wrong with the cat picture.

Sorry you did not like the model I used for the floppy hat. Just the best model I could find...no babies in the house. :)

Strange, bizzare, weird perhaps, but obscene? Not at all. :))

I find the cat pitcher to be unique. :)

I am sorry, I didn't mean to be offensive at all! I do apologise. I think the cat pitcher -picture is just fine! I was trying for humorous, but I may have fell just a bit short of that. I think the cat is a truly wonderful model. Again, I do apologise!

[rebeccav]

hey stormy, if it makes you feel any better, love, i saw the humor :lol 8) ..... but then again, i see humor in just about everything :rollin

I had already made that floopy baby hat for my new neice, it was perfect. The thing I liked the most about the picture was the cat!! How totally cute! It is sure funny how two people can look at something and see opposites. :)))
