Crochet Toddler Beanie Hat w/Flower

As promised in my previous post, here is the modified crochet pattern I used for E.'s toddler beanie hat:

I've been asked to make this hat for a friend, but the pattern doesn't say how much approx yardage is used. I need to check my stash to see if I have enough since I don't tend to knit with sport weight yarn often.

I made this twice so far. My daughter must have too big of a head! My first attempt looks like it would fit a newborn, but I'm a tight crocheter and didn't adjust the pattern, so I'm not surprised. My second try, I followed your suggestions for making it larger AND used the 2nd largest needle I could find. I added an extra round of "dc in ea", yet it is still insanely short on her. I am going to try again and add a few more rounds, then I think it should fit. I am beginning to think I use adult patterns for her! ;-) LOVE the pattern though! It is easy to make, quick (even for a slowby like me), and absolutely beautiful! I had some trouble with Round 14, so I altered it for my first hat and left it out completely with my second. Both still look great! And, the flower pattern is absolutely adorable!! I made a contrasting color flower so that it stands out more, and I used a wool yarn which seemed to work well too.

My mother made hats like this when i was little in the 70's. Now I'm trying for my girls!

what weight yarn did you use for the beanie and are there instructions for the "Distracted" beanie?
thank you

[Kristin Sellars]

So adorable!! I was wondering though...how did you attach the flower to the beanie? Thanks!

[Gift of Green]

This is going to be my next crochet project! Thank you for the directions.

What an adorable hat! I wish I could crochet! My DD saw that and said 'does she sell those? I want one in black!' ha She is 14, what can I say...

The pattern for the adult version is the link I posted for: "Soft Scallop Chemo Cap"

What is the pattern for the adult version? The beanie is precious.
