You love seeing “free” in the title right? I know I love free things!!
Well, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
In my craft room that is ; )
I have decided to pull a crochet pattern from my etsy shop and
offer it up for free!! YAY!
Stocking Hat Crochet Pattern
First off, I have to thank Traci Ryant for her beautiful photography,
seriously one of my favorite newborn photographers EVER!
Definitely stop by and check out her work!!
Now, I don’t really share a whole lot of my crochet projects.
One, I usually try and put them in my etsy shop, and two…..
I haven’t been crocheting much since we have moved 3 times in the last year,
I guess that just got pushed aside in all the business.
However, all the cold gets me in the mood for crocheting so I have been working on some hats for the kids!
Sizes included:
Newborn – 3 Months
3-6 Months
6-12 Months
12-36 Months
3T+
I haven’t made one of these since last year, I made one for Aubrey, it is so cute….
They have so much fun in them! Great thing about this pattern….
You can make it in any color combination and it gives you a great newborn prop
or even just a fun hat for the kids!

I’m sharing this post at Today’s Creative blog and {HERE}

















I love to crochet! So adorable…..
Thanks so much! Now I just need another baby so I can make some little ones : )
How much would you make one of these for? Our daughter Lakyn Olivia will be here any day now and we don’t have anyone to crochet for us…and we both LOVE this!!
Thanks,
Corey
Corey,
For this hat I would charge $40 which would include shipping. I’m not positive that they still make this exact yarn though, I would have to check, but I can do it in any color. you can email me directly at ashley.cherishedbliss {at} gmail.com if you would like to discuss purchasing one. : )
I haven’t crochet in 20 years. How hard is this and about how long to make? Guess if I can’t do it I will hand it all over to my mother. So cute! Thanks
It’s not hard at all. I’m not super advanced at crochet, so it just uses your basic double crochet, half double crochet, and then a front post and back post stitch (there are great tutorials on youtube for those – and they aren’t hard at all!) Honestly, I’m not sure how long it takes… I’m not super and I never get to sit and crochet for long amounts of time with my kids…I’m always up and down : ) I would imagine if I sat non stop it would take me a few hours of good work, mainly because it’s so long. It’s easy to shorten the length though. I’m sure if you are fast you could knock it out pretty quick since it’s such an easy pattern. Let me know if you have any other questions! Have a great weekend!
This is a seriously adorable hat!
Oh how I wish I could crochet.

My Gran showed me how to crochet YEARS ago!! I could probably wing it w/ a chain stitch but wouldnt remember how to turn round & come back!! I downloaded a tutorial on “How to Crochet” so this would be a GREAT project once I learn the basics!! THANKS so much for sharing this w/ us!!!!!
Thanks Chelle! It is a pretty easy pattern to follow! You should be good to go! Let me know if you have any questions!
Oh my goodness, too cute! Look at that little bundle of joy. He shows your hat off well :)

Super sweet! Thanks for the idea and the pattern! Love the photos!
My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by : )
I don’t think I’ve seen a cuter picture ever. The hat is adorable but of course it’s the model who makes it just too stinkin’ cute. I featured this as part of my link party wrap up today.
Thanks again Carol!
So adorable! I love baby hat patterns, thank you for sharing yours!
Thank you so much! SO glad you like it! : )
The woolen hats are perfect to worn by the baby during winter, the design is too excellent, which really adds to the charm of the baby, it is really easy to prepare and a fun loving experience.

That is truly adorable! I don’t know a lot about crocheting – I had no idea it could be so tight, like knitting. What a nice surprise this free pattern will be, for crocheters!

Thanks Laura! I’m hoping to learn to knit soon… I love the look of knitted hats! Thanks for stopping by! : )
I need some help with the gauge on this. I have mad three different sizes and keep coming out super small. I am using Worsted and an I hook. Please help!
Megan,
So sorry you are having problems with the pattern. I’m not sure what the problem would be. I have made this hat several times with different types of yarn, and it always comes out right for me as well as having testers. I’m not super experienced in crocheting, but maybe try a larger hook? What yarn are you using? I have used some thinner worsted weight yarns (not for this particular hat) but maybe that’s the problem? What size are you wanting to make and how small is it coming out compared to what it should be? If you could give me the measurements of the hats that you are making and the sizes they are supposed to be maybe I could try and figure it out.
Thanks,
Ashley
Thanks so much for posting this. It’s just what I was looking for! We have been praying at church for a baby born @ 22 weeks a few months ago, who despite multiple crises and surgeries is now almost 6 pounds, developing well, and it looks like she will be able to go home for Christmas! I will love making one of these for this little miracle!
My only new years resolution is to start my own blog/site by my birthday January 15th when I turn 45yrs.
This is THE EXACT thing I was looking for to make for one of my daughter’s friend’s new baby. He is Absolutely Adorable and I actually get to babysit him a few times per week.
I’ve been on permanent disability since 2003-April I think, maybe June…don’t remember, not important.
I have had more than 12 spinal cord and brain specialists, some from Europe, who have all told me that I should be 6′ under, that there is no earthly way I can still be walking(even with my bad limp-lol) and I certainly shouldn’t be able to do anything complicated.
I love crochet!
Your design is a masterpiece as is the picture attached to it!
Thank you so much for letting other use this design!
I’m going to, hopefully, be able to post some of the hundreds of original designs of my own when I finally start my blog.
When I do, I will definitely come back and share with you!
You are Truly Gifted as a designer! I was just tripping along through your site when I came upon this pattern!
I’ve been crocheting since I was 9 years old, been teaching since I was in my early 20′s and I’m very impressed by your wonderful talent!
Thanks for the pattern! I’m having a hard time starting it though. When it says to chain 2, then dc in the second chain from the hook, I’m not getting that part at all. Do I make a magic circle or…? Sorry, I’m not that great at this yet :(
Hi, I have looked all over for a pattern like this and have been unable to find one. For some reason I am having trouble printing this off dont, have a printer at home, so I am using the one at work, is there any way you can email me this pattern so I can print it off. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
Thanks for sharing this pattern. I am going to make this for a friend who is having a baby boy in April. She is decorating his room in Dr. Suess and this hat along with a blanket will be perfect. Thank you!
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for posting this gorgeous pattern but I’m having a few problems with it. Do you know what size a number 1 crochet
hook is in mm. I used a 2.50mm hook but my finish hat is about 40mm (16 inches) and only about 9inches diameter. Could you tell me the finished length of your beautiful because I really want to make one for my brothers 1st grandchild.
Thanks
Mary
