Broom Broom Boy's Beanie

Girls beanies are easy to accessorise with bows and flowers and all sorts but I know just how hard it is to make a boys beanie that is both cute and fun. I have 2 boys and a girl and I don't want my boys to miss out on my crafty goodness just because of gender.This idea popped into my head over the weekend and I'd like to share it with all they crafty people who have a cute little boy in there lives.

So What do you think? All in U.S crochet terminology. his Pattern is for personal use only, Please T don't sell the pattern or the finished product. Thank you. -

This hat is crocheted to fit a head approx 20 inches in size. Roughly 4 years old! Made with a 4.00mm crochet hook and 8 ply yarn.

To make the sun I Created a ring by either the magic circle method or by chaining 2 and slip stitch into 2nd chain from hook. Round 1 (in Yellow):12 Double crochet (DC) in circle, slip stitch (SS) in the top of 1st DC- 12DC's. Just like how we started the beanie. Fasten off leaving a long tail and attach where you like it on the hat and stitch on some sun rays. I made some simple black birds too, all just stitching where you like the look ofthem. Here are the cars:

So now you can have 5 different cars that can be put on the beanie as your child wishes. It also makes for easy removal for washing -and we all like that ;)

JuneLuve said... Oh how wondeful! I have four nephews and they see me crochet all the time and all four have recently asked for cool hats like their sisters get. I've tried to find a pattern that they will like and for each picture I showed them they didn't like. I have showned them this one just yesterday and they are begging for me to make it for them. They already found the cars they want to put on their hats. Thank you so much! January 11, 2011 5:31 PM

Lisa said... so great! I have boy/girl twins that are 2 1/2 years old & it's so hard finding brightly colored things for my darling boy. I just bought some yarn & cars just to make this beanie. Since my guy is so small I am nervous about the pin & considering sewing a piece of velcro to thehat & hot glue to the car. Still thinking about it. Thank you for the pattern! March 13, 2011 11:10 AM

Lisa said... I just noticed you said you used 8 ply yarn & I have worsted weight-what kind of yarn did you use specifically? March 16, 2011 4:51 AM
