A couple months ago I came across THIScrochetcabbage patch dollhat
pattern. And about the same time my mom found my old cabbage patch doll that she gave me when I was 4 years old! I knew I was going to have to pass the doll down to my newborn daughter AND make her a matching cabbage doll hat. It is perfect for a Halloween costume!
First I need to introduce you to the Loop Stitch. The entire hat will be made with this stitch so if you aren't familiar with it, here is a little tutorial on how to make this stitch:
Step 1: Insert hook in stitch. Step 2: Hook yarn around the backside of both strands of the loop around your finger. Step 3: Pull both strands through stitch. You now have 3 loops on your hook and one large loop sticking out the back of the stitch. Step 4: Adjust your loop by pulling it to be a little smaller (if you want) Step 5: Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook. Step 6: You have completed one Loop Stitch
And here is a little video. I apologize for the poor quality :|
When the hat is complete you will want to flip it inside out so the loops are on the outside.

Hat Pattern Size: 0-3 Months Magic ring, chain 1, make 11 SC in ring, continue to crochet in rounds Round 2: Make one loop stitch in each stitch around (11 loop stitches) Round 3: 2 Lp St in each stitch around (22 Lp St) Round 4: Lp St in each stitch around (22 Lp St) Round 5: 2 Lp St in first stitch, Lp St in next stitch, repeat around (33 Lp St) Round 6: Lp St in each stitch around (33 Lp St) Round 7: 2 Lp St in first stitch, Lp St in next 2 stitches, repeat around (44 Lp St) Round 8-16: Lp St in each stitch around (44 Lp St) Add more rows if you feel it is needed. I kept mine short so it would sit up higher on her forehead. Fasten off and weave in ends.
I haven't tested larger sizes but this is how I
would increase:
Note: if hat
starts to look skinny/pointy add a row of loop stitches between each increase as
you did in the beginning of the pattern

Braided
Pigtails:
Cut 35 strands of 20 inch long yarn. Fold in half and tie another piece of yarn tightly to the middle point of your yarn strands. Use tapestry needle to sew onto sides of hat. Braid and tie ends with a white ribbon.

Start your rounds in the same stitch as your chain. Join your rounds to the first HDC, NOT the chain. Your last stitch should be in the stitch before your chain.
Here is part 1 of the video
tutorial. It shows how to crochet rounds 1-5 of the
0-3mo size hat. I am still an amateur videographer but hopefully this will help
answer any questions or confusion that you may have. Be sure to check out part 2
of the video tutorial (posted below) which shows how to stitch on the
embellishments.

Here is part 2 of the video tutorial that explains how to make
the "icing," cheeks, and mouth embellishments on the hat.
Gingerbread Cheeks:
With red yarn...
Magic
Ring, chain 1, make 10 HDC inside of ring, join to first HDC, fasten off leaving tail to sew onto hat.
Gingerbread Icing:
You will want make a long series of chain and stitch them on in a wave around the hat.
For the 0-3 month size hat I chained 70 and stitched the
chain on between rounds 4 and 5. You will want to make longer chains for the larger hats.
Gingerbread Leggings:
I haven't figured out a good way to calculate size for these. You will want to measure the child's leg before beginning so you know how many chains to make.
The ones pictured are too small for my 19 month old. I think they would fit a 6-12 month old. You can increase/decrease the beginning chain to make larger/smaller leggings.
Here is the pattern I used:
Chain 20, join to beginning of chain with a slip stitch, chain 1
Round 1-11: HDC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 12: SC in each stitch around, join, fasten off and weave in ends.
With white yarn, chain 14 and stitch on to create "icing."
Gingerbread Woman Bow:
Chain 10, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, chain 1, turn
Row 2-4, SC across, chain 1, turn
at the end of row 4, continue to SC around the edges, join to first SC, fasten off and weave in ends.
Wrap yarn around the middle of the bow, tie off tightly and attach to hat.

I decided I wanted to make a mobile for my
baby girls room. I thought some sweet little lambs would be nice and crochet was
the way to go about making them. Unfortunately these little lambs took a little
longer to crochet and put together than I thought they would. But if you are up for a project than this is
the one for you! Of course you could always just make the lambs and leave them
as little stuffed animals. They
are about 5 inches long.
First lets start with the crochet pattern:
Materials: - Worsted weight yarn in cream, brown, gray or any color of your choice. I also think a pink or blue lamb would be nice for a baby room. - Furry Yarn. I used Bernat Pipsqueak in
Whitey White - Size H crochet hook. - Tapestry needle - Small safety eyes - Stitch marker - Poly-fil stuffing
Abbreviations: Magic Ring Tutorial SC = Single Crochet SC Decrease = Single Crochet Decrease
Head: With worsted weight
yarn.. Magic Ring, chain 1, SC 8 inside ring, do not join, continue to SC in rounds (use stitch
marker to mark your rounds) Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around (16 SC) Round 3: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around (24 SC) Round 4-8: SC in each stitch around (24 SC) Round 9: SC decrease, SC in next, repeat around (you should now have 16 SC) Change to furry yarn... Round 10: SC in each stitch around (16 SC) Round 11: SC decrease until closed. Be sure to stuff and add safety eyes before fully closing!!
Ears: Chain 4, SC in second chain from hook, SC in next 2. Now working on other side of chain, SC in next 3, do not join, continue to SC in rounds Round 2-4: SC in each stitch around (6 SC) Round 5: SC decrease or stitch closed. Sew onto head where furry yarn meets worsted yarn.
Body: NOTE: Body is worked with furry yarn. It is pretty much
impossible to keep track of your stitches with this yarn. Do the best you can.
If you are off by one or more stitches, that is ok.
You won't be able to see the flaws! With furry yarn... Magic ring, chain 1, 8 SC in ring, do not join, continue to SC in rounds. Use stitch marker to mark your rounds. Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around (16 SC) Round 3-6: SC in each stitch around (16 SC) Round 7: SC decrease in first, SC in next Stuff with poly-fil Round 8: SC decrease until closed Leave tail to sew onto head.
Feet: Magic Ring, chain 1 in ring, make 10 SC in ring, continue to SC in rounds. Round 2: In back loops only, SC in each stitch around (10 SC) Round 3-4: Working in both loops, SC in each stitch around (10 SC) Round 5: SC decrease, SC in next 3 stitches, repeat around Round 6: SC decrease, SC in next 2, repeat around Stuff and sew onto body.
Now lets put together the mobile!
- I used the inside of an 8" wooden embroidery hoop and painted it white. - Darice
White Picket Fence (which I found at Jo-Ann Fabrics but if you google it you can purchase it online from multiple places). I had to buy two since one is too short to fit around the entire hoop. - White worsted
weight yarn to string everything together - 3 white clouds which I cut out from felt (you will need to cut 6 clouds, lightly stuffed with poly-fil and stitched around the edge with 2-ply yarn and a tapestry
needle). I used THIS as my template for the clouds. - And my crochet lambs.
First thing you will want to do is cut a long piece of worsted weight yarn and string it through the cloud and crochet lamb. Use a tapestry
needle to send the yarn up the middle of the cloud and then through the body of the lamb (near the neck). Now loop your yarn back up the bottom of the lamb and make a knot. You can weave it through again to make sure it is tightly secured to the crochet lamb.
Tie the yarn onto your painted embroidery hoop. Hopefully you still have a long end left that will tie together with your other two strings and attach to a hook from the ceiling. If your yarn isn't long enough, just tie on a second string so that you will be able to hang it. You will want to repeat this entire process with all three of your lambs/clouds and place them evenly around your hoop.
Now hot glue your white picket fence over the outer edge of the embroidery hoop and over the yarn that you have tied on.
Tie the strings together and hang from a cup hook in your ceiling.
Disclaimer: Please use extreme caution if placing this over a
crib. Make sure all your pieces are secure. In fact, I decided to place mine in
the corner of the room near the changing table. I don't trust this craft to be a
safe object to place over the baby's crib.
