Rustic Love Slouch Crochet Pattern

I had planned to make myself a new hat, but about halfway through, I couldn't decide if this should be MY hat or for my daughter. She is 7 now, and we can share hats! It seems that most children's hat sizes fit me and most small adult hat sizes fit her. She is growing up so fast, it's not even fair!!! After taking the photo, she told me she wants to keep that hat for wearing to school… maybe next winter I will be able to take over and start wearing it myself. 😉

Need help with any of your crochet skills to make this pattern? Perhaps it’s changing colors, the magic ring, making pom poms or something else? I’ve put together a class designed to help you. My Crochet & Knit Essential Skills class has 72 videos classes to help with any and every crochet (or knit) technique. What’s even better, I am giving you FREE access to watch these videos for 2 days! Register here now to gain instant access.

My goal was to use only one skein of Super Saver Stripes – Latte Stripes, but to make this hat have the perfect slight slouch to it and a large full pom pom, I had to bust out a second skein. I didn't even use half of the second, leaving you enough yarn to make fingerless gloves or an ear warmer set if you're looking to stay extra cozy!

With your starting end, weave back and forth between each stitch from round 1. Close the hole as much as possible. You will still have an opening about the size of a dime.

Make your Secure Pom Pom. Attach it over the opening. Secure it well with your yarn needle and it will cover the hole.

Fasten off.

Weave in all ends.

Minnie Mouse in Preschool

This Minnie Mouse Hat Crochet Pattern is perfect for little ones who are big fans of Miss Minnie Mouse. Fits kids aged 3-5. #crochet #crochetlove #crochethat #crochetaddict #crochetpattern #crochetinspiration #ilovecrochet #crochetgifts #crochet365 #addictedtocrochet #yarnaddict #yarnlove

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.
