This Minnie Mouse Hat Crochet Pattern is perfect for little ones who are big fans of Miss Minnie Mouse.
When I was first learning how to crochet, a local mom came to me while shopping in the baby food aisle at Walmart. She told me she LOVED my daughter's hat (first and the only thing I had made at the time) She offered me 20 dollars to make her daughter a hat too! I was so shocked and excited!
Now 2.5 years later, she has come back! She wanted to know if I could make her daughter a Minnie Mouse hat. How exciting is this? We will both get to see how far I have come since that first sale. And… not to mention the fact that she came back in the first place 😉 I told her I felt sorry for all the people who paid me for hats when I was first learning to crochet. She was quick to tell me they still love and admire the hat, but that her beautiful daughter has simply outgrown it. So here we go!
This pattern is designed for 3-5 year olds.

Finish off and repeat for a total of 4 ears.
Layer 2 ears together and join from one side to the other with the slip stitch. No need to join the bottom, you will do that when attaching it. This will make it a thicker and stronger ear. Attach the ear to the hat and repeat for the other ear. I attached my ears across rounds 2-9.
Now all you need to do is make your Minnie Mouse Bow and attach it in front of your ears.
When I attached my bow, I used black yarn and not only attached the bottom center to the hat, but I also attached it to the ears a little bit.
