PIXIE BABE... SIMPLY PERFECT

crochet patterns, how to crochet, pixie, elf, baby hats, newborn,


Best Ever Crochet Baby Hat



In 2004, I designed a simple and easy pixie baby hat, and it made a big hit at my market stalls in Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia and Spitalfields, London, UK. To date, PIXIE BABE has been the most admired and best seller baby hat for newborns and toddlers. It has given me, family, friends and customers much pleasure over the years. And TODAY, I have decided it is time to share this delightful crochet pattern with the world, and I hope you enjoy making, gifting and using this simple pixie hat.

PATTERN DETAILS:

Description:
A simply perfect crochet pattern for a pixie hat. Make this hat for newborn, toddler or young ones – this pattern is so easy it can be adapted to varying head sizes and different yarns and hook sizes. Have some fun and play with the colours and create your own style of pixie hat!

Yarn:
PIXIE BABE HAT PATTERN is EASY and YOU can make it using any yarn. My favourite yarns for this hat are: Bendigo Cotton 4ply or 8ply (my preference for newborns), 3ply or 4ply baby wool OR my other favourite yarn for winter babies Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK OR Rowan Belle Organic DK.

YOU CAN ALSO make the pixie hat using bamboo yarn, cotton/silk blend and cotton/cashmere blend.

Over the last eight (8) years, I have made hundreds of pixie hats from this pattern; it is so simple and so easy to adjust to different yarns and different hook sizes.  May you enjoy playing with it as much as I have.

I absolutely loved this pattern. I made both hats and they were very easy. And turned out fantastic. Very easy to follow.  Kelsey Jan 2015

Very easy to follow pattern! Love the 2-in-1 with options for a cotton lining. Worked up the "Sweet" in one evening for my brother and it was just what he was hoping for in a beanie.  Elizabeth G. Feb 2014

Both patterns are easy to read. Received patterns instantly. Nice deviation from the standard men's beanie, can't wait to give for Christmas gifts. Would purchase from this seller again.  2b3c Oct 2014
