A lot of people asked about a child size version of the Half Looped hat and I just told them to use smaller hooks and they'd be good to go. Well... I was wrong! (WHO, ME? WRONG? IMPOSSIBLE!) It didn't work, so I wrote a pattern for the children, and here it is. I'll add a picture to the pattern as soon as I finish the hat I'm making.
HALF PINT
a child sized version of Half Looped
copyright © Dot Matthews 06/17/2004
I used ww yarn, H hook for hat and F hook for loops.
HAT
With larger hook (H), Ch 4, join
Row 1: Ch 1, 8 sc in ring. Do not join, use marker to show beginning of rows.
Work in back loop only on rows 2 through 20, leaving the front loop free to use later in the pattern. Numbers in ( ) at end of rows, indicates total number of stitches you should have at the end of the row.
Row 2: 2 sc in each st around. (16)
Row 3: (1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around (24)
Row 4: (1 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (32)
Row 5: (1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (40)
Row 6: 1 sc in each st around (40)
Row 7: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 4 sts) around (48)
Row 8: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 5 sts) around (56
Row 9: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 6 sts) around (64)
Row 10 - 20: 1 sc in each st around (64)
AT END OF ROW 20, SL ST IN BOTH LOOPS OF NEXT ST.
SWITCH TO F HOOK
CHAIN LOOPS (the chain loops are placed in the unworked loops of the sc stitches)
With smaller hook, Ch 1, turn, sl st in free loop of last sc made, ch 10, sl st in same loop.
Sl st in free loop of next st, ch 10, sl st in same st. continue for 6 rounds or until it is as "fluffy" as you want it. fasten off and weave in ends.

Hi! I just love the look of this hat! I'd really like to make one for my daughter, but I'm curious if it would fit her. Could you list the final measurement or size/age of child the hat will fit? Thanks so much for your time and beautiful patterns! | |

You are most welcome. Sharing them was the least I could do since you shared your fabulous patterns that I based them on. Thanks again.
The kids are great - belong to my friend. | |

Hi Dot - just wanted to say thank you for your half pint pattern. I have made it a few times and wanted to share two hats I made based on your.
1. White hat - 4 rows of loops using Bernat Boa in Parrot together with the white.
2. Pony tail hat - started with a ring around a pony tail elastic. At the loop part I used LB Fur Out (too bad it's been recalled - it's very cute) in orange - 6 rows, and three rows at the top around the opening.
I can't thank you enough

Hi MaryAnn, cancer patients are who I was thinking about when I designed this hat. Cudos to you for your donating. You will be blessed. | |

I think this pattern would make a good hat for a cancer patient; made in cotton for the summer of course.
Still donating! | |
