Unicorn Hat (partial pattern)

The hat is crochet with a basic hat pattern with ear-flaps.


The horn is crochet with a needle 1 size smaller than recommended on the yarn instructions. Inside there are 2 additional filler cones to give a firmer support than batting or fill. I chose to use the hat color for the fills.


The ears are crochet with a varied pattern used in the horn and 1 smaller cone inside for moderate support. I added the pink inner after the outer cone was crocheted.


The mane is attached single row around the horn. From the rear of the horn the the back of the hat is 3 rows slowly tapered to a less full mane.


The ties are traditionally braided with one pink, purple, & glitter. I did crochet a cover on the inside of the hat to protect the wearer from the attached strings.


Cone Pattern(useful for dino spikes, animal ears, & unicorn horn)

Mark the first stitch in each round. You're crocheting in a spiral, so don't join your rounds.

Round 1: Make a magic loop/ring, and do 6 single crochets in the loop. Pull tight. (6 sc)

Round 2: Single crochet around (6 sc)

Round 3: 2 single crochet in first stitch, 1 sc in next stitch - repeat around (9 sc)

Round 4: Single crochet in each stitch (9 sc)

Round 5: 2 single crochet in first stitch, 1 sc in next stitch - repeat around (14 sc)

Round 6: Single crochet around (14 sc)

Round 7: Single crochet around (14 sc)

Round 8: Single crochet in 1st and 2nd stitches, 2 single crochet in third - repeat around  (18 sc)

Round 9: Single crochet around (18 sc)

Round 10: Single crochet around (18 sc)

Round 11: Single crochet around (18 sc)

Fasten off, leaving at least a foot or so of yarn to sew to the top of your hat.

The more single crochet rows you do the leaner it will become without getting too wide. I adjusted to fit the needs of the horn, ears, and fills.

Sock Monkey Hat

I saw this pattern for sale on Ravelry and quickly realized I could create the patterns myself. I used a basic crochet hat with earflap pattern adjusting the features to make up the hat.

Baby: $10
Child: $15

1st Rosette Ever Pattern (C&K)

I made an ear-warmer/headband and wanted to add a rosette to it. Lucky for me, my grandmother is an amazing woman and resource for all things crochet. She won winner's choice at the Evergreen State Fair for a crocheted flower & lace bed cover a few years back. She taught me how to crochet when I was young. Now I was to make a variety of flowers.
