Floppy Bunny Hat

 

Here is an updated picture of my little Easter bunny :) Used the ear pattern but made it with a toddler beanie. You can use any highly rated beanie pattern on Ravelry for this pattern!

 

It was rather hard to take this picture as I was laughing so hard my whole body was shaking!  Is this not the cutest little hat ever?!

The pattern is as follows and you should have plenty of time to make this before Easter as it does not take long...

This hat is not suitable for sleep and should not be used as a toy.

 

People have been letting me know that the math on this hat doesn't add up. I don't have the time to fix it now, but hopefully soon. I haven't had a complaint on the ears and I just remade them so they are fine and dandy to use. I suggest browsing Pinterest or Ravelry for a great basic beanie pattern that you can put these ears on. Don't forget to check out my other free crochet patterns HERE.

 

Hook Size: H

Yarn: Worsted weight cream color and optional pink for the inside of the ears.

Size: 6-12 mos.  This is really up to the size of your baby's head. 

Start with a magic ring.
R1- Ch 2, 7 Hdc into ring
R2- Ch 2, hdc in same space, *1 hdc in next ch sp, 2 hdc in next ch space* repeat around, join to top of ch 2.
R3- Ch 2, hdc in same space, (1 hdc in next 2 ch sp, 2 hdc in next space) repeat from ( to ) around, join to top of ch 2.
R4- Ch 2, hdc in same space, (1 hdc in next 3 ch sp, 2 hdc in next space) repeat from ( to ) around, join to top of ch 2.
R5- Ch 2, hdc in same space, (1 hdc in next 4 ch sp, 2 hdc in next space) repeat from ( to ) around, join to top of ch 2.
R6- Ch 2, hdc in same space, (1 hdc in next 5 ch sp, 2 hdc in next space) repeat from ( to ) around, join to top of ch 2.
R7- Ch 2, hdc in same space, (1 hdc in next 6 ch sp, 2 hdc in next space) repeat from ( to ) around, join to top of ch 2.
R8-17 Ch 2, hdc around, join to top of ch 2.

FO and weave in ends.

Back of ear:


R1- Ch 25
R2- Sc in 2nd ch from hook, (sc in next ch, hdc in next 2 ch, dc in next 2 ch, tr ch in next 12 ch, dc in next 2 ch, hdc in next 2 ch, sc in next 2 ch)
R3- (I am not sure how clear this will be so the picture below is showing you how to do this)  Ch 1 and connect to other side of ch 25 with a sc.  Repeat from ( to ) from R2.

This is the ch 1....

These are the sc in next 2 ch completed on the opposite side...

R4- Ch 1 and sc around the ear.  FO (you may leave the tail as it can be tucked in when you are finishing the ear)

Inside of ear:  Repeat rows 1-3. FO and leave a tail as it will also be tuck in in the next step.  This will be the inside of the ear.  Lay it inside the back of the ear so they are concave towards the back...as an ear would be.  Match up the stitches,  put your needle through both sides, YO and ch 1.  Sc around the ear until you come all the way back around.  FO.  You will have two tails right by each other.  Position the ears on the hat and use these tails to secure very well.  These steps are pictured below.

Two pieces laid on top of each other with the smaller inside the bigger.  Tuck inthe tails in between the two sides.

This is where you put the needle through both sides.  Then you YO, ch 1 and sc around . As you can see it is important to have the sides lined up correctly so you can make the ear properly.
