Pistachio and Seafoam Baby Hat

After finishing up the baby booties I thought, "why not make a hat to match?" There is a picture of the set below, but this post only has the pattern for the hat since I posted the booties pattern in the previous post.

Pistachio and Seafoam Baby Hat pictured with matching booties

This is a little hat to fit a newborn baby

I used a small amount of Caron Simply Soft (pistachio green color for the body), Red Heart Soft (seafoam color for the trim), and an aluminum size H (US) 5mm hook

*I use the magic ring for all my hats and round projects, but if you don't know how to do that, you can chain 4 and slip stitch to form a ring, or chain 2 and put all the stitches in 2nd from hook.

Round 1: With pistachio green or color A, make a magic ring, ch1 (doesn't count as a stitch), put 12 hdc in the ring and pull tight. Sl st to top of first hdc.

Round 2: ch1 (doesn't count as stitch), put 2 hdc in each stitch around. Sl st to top of first hdc.

Round 3: ch1 (doesn't count as stitch), work (hdc in stitch, 2 hdc in next stitch) around. Sl st to top of first hdc.

Rounds 4-12: ch1 (doesn't count as stitch), put 1 hdc in each stitch around. Sl st to top of first hdc.

Change to seafoam or color B.

Round 13: ch1 (doesn't count as stitch), put 1 hdc in each stitch around. Sl st to top of first hdc.

Round 14: ch1 (doesn't count as a stitch), put 1 sc in each stitch around. Sl st to top of first sc.

Fasten off yarn, weave in ends.

Pistachio and Seafoam Baby Booties

Hi :) it's been a while!
But I haven't been up to nothing. Lately I've been making baby things using patterns. Once I felt comfortable making booties I decided to just wing a pair on my own, and these things happened.

Pistachio and Seafoam Baby Booties

I folded down the tops because it helps give them a more sturdy feel.

I used small amounts of Red Heart Soft (seafoam sole and top trim) and Caron Simply Soft (pistachio body of foot), and an aluminum size H (US) 5mm hook

Make 2:

Sole of foot: with seafoam or color A
Chain 11 (make sure they are firm stitches since you will be working on both sides of the chain and the weight of the stitches can pull the chain and make gaps)

Double crochet in 3rd chain from hook, twice. Double crochet in each chain across, to the last chain. 5 double crochet in last chain (which will create a dome or a curve, to facilitate working on the other side of the chain). Now working on the underside of the chain, double crochet across til you get to the first stitch on the other side. Put one double crochet in the same stitch as the first double crochet, so you will have 3 double crochet on one corner (heel) and 5 double crochet on the other corner (toe). Slip stitch to 1st double crochet.

Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch, I just use these as a place holder and skip over them when it's time to slip stitch together). Double crochet in same stitch as chain 2, twice. 2 double crochet in next stitch,  double crochet in each of next 7 stitches. 2 double crochet in each of next 5 stitches, double crochet in each of last 7 stitches, join with slip stitch to top of first dc.

Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch). Working in back loops only, single crochet in each stitch around, join with slip stitch to top of first single crochet. Fasten off color A.

Body of foot: with pistachio or color B
Count 4 stitches to the left from the place you fastened off color A, and attach color B there (this will put you approximately in center of heel).

Chain 1, sc in each stitch around. Join with slip stitch to top of first single crochet.

Toe decrease begins this round:
Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch), Half-double crochet in same stitch as beginning chain 1 and in each of next 10 stitches. Work 2-hdc-tog, 4 times. Half-double crochet in each of next 11 stitches. Join with slip stitch to top of first half-double crochet.

Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch). Half-double crochet in same stitch as beginning chain 1 and in each of next 8 stitches. Work 2-hdc-tog, 5 times. Half-double crochet in each of next 8 stitches. Join with slip stitch to top of first half-double crochet.

Chain 1 (does not count as stitch). Half-double crochet in same stitch as beginning chain 1 and in each of next 7 stitches. Work 2-hdc-tog. 5 times. Half-double crochet in each of next 4 stitches. Join with slip stitch to top of first half-double crochet.

Work 2 rounds of half-double crochet evenly around. Join with slip stitch.

Chain 1, single crochet evenly around, join with slip stitch. Fasten off color B.

Attach color A and work 1 round of single crochet evenly. Fasten off and weave in ends.
