Chicken Baby Hat And Diaper Cover Crochet Pattern

Yarn used:

Fuzzy Trims: Bulky (5) Bernat Pipsqueak; approx 100-150 yds.
Trim for the brim of hat & diaper cover, and for the fuzzy bottom and chicken comb. I used white but if you want to use red for the comb that would be really cute for a boy’s hat.

4″x4″ 13 sc across x 14 rows high

Beginning chains to do not count as a stitch.

Making a little face on the Chicken Hat is easy.

Squishy yellow and white is what’s needed for a girl. Brown or black with white trim for a boy. Do not add the increases to make the ruffles ons the boy’s diaper cover. Use red for the chickens comb for the boy set as well.

• 1. Place the crocheted beak just about the brim of the hat and sew it in place.
• 2. Position the buttons on the hat to represent eyes. Use Scotch tape to hold the buttons in place.
• 3. Use a sewing needle and thread to sew the eyes in place. You can sew right through the Scotch tape. This keeps the buttons from shifting during the sewing process.
• 4. Remove the Scotch tape after you are finished sewing the buttons in place.

The premium pattern that includes all infant sizes, along with photo tutorials can be purchased at RAVELRY and ETSY.

How to crochet the Chickens Comb on to the hat.

Use the specialty yarn in either white or red.

• 1. Attach the yarn at the crown with a slp st;
• 2. ch6; slp st beside 1st slp st made.
• 3. ch8; slp st beside the last slp st.
• 4. ch6, slp st beside the last slp st, end off and weave in the ends.
