I have had several requests on how to size down my pussy hat patterns to a child or smaller size.This pattern is a variation on my version from last year. This hat can be worked up quickly, but the stitch pattern can be easily modified to hit any size.

You will need:
Size N Hook
Approximately 80 yards of Super Bulky Yarn (6). I used Lion Brand Hometown USA Yarn in Baton Rouge Fuchsia.
This pattern is written in standard US crochet terms.
The approximate size of this hat is 16″ in circumference and 7″ in length.

Abbreviations:
SC – Single Crochet
CH – Chain stitch
BLO – Back loops only (make the stitch in the back loops only of the row below)

Chain 5
Row 1: Turn and sc in 2nd chain and sc across (4 sc) turn
Row 2: Sc in BLO across. Turn (4 sc)
Row 3 to 24: Repeat row 2
Without twisting join end of strip together and join using single crochet.
Round 1: Working on the side of the rib strip, work 38 sc stiches around. Don’t join or turn
Round 2: Sc in each sc in round. (38 sc)
Round 3 to 12: Repeat round 2
Fold the top of the hat in half and sew across. You can use either slip stitches, single crochet or mattress stitch.
Weave in ends.
