All your hats are so cute! I wish I had a baby to make them for, but sadly, no kids!
You could always make them for other people's babies
So adorable! You are too talented, I'm jealous! Danielle xo || Lilyofthevalley
Hey Olivia,
I'm looking for you pattern for your purple puff stitch purse. I think it was called an "out and about tote" or something? Anyway I can't seem to find it and I thought maybe you hadn't transferred it from your old blog. Would you possibly post it again or post the link as a reply? I'd love to make it! Thanks!
Here you go! ~ http://www.hopefulhoney.com/2012/03/out-and-about.html
Thanks a bunch! This is what I was looking for! 😉
Hi Olivia, I love the Mickey Mouse hat, I made one for my grandson. Would you give me instructions on how to make the same hat for a 2 year old?
Hello,
I haven't created a 2 year old ear flap hat before, but here is a link to a free crochet pattern on how to make one, ~ http://allicrafts.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/free-pattern-earflap-hat-toddler.html
You should be able to easily adjust it to look like mickey.

What does DIY stand for?
Do.It.Yourself
Thanks for sharing these patterns. I am waiting on my 1st granddaughter/grandbaby to arrive, these will be so much fun to make for her.
Hi Olivia! I'm in love with the Mickey and Minnie hats. I just wanted to ask, how are you getting the ears to stand up? I made the Minnie hat and I sewed the ears onto the back of the bow, so they appeared to be standing up. But if I hadn't, they were just flopping over. Any suggestions? 🙂
Thanks so much! Andrea
Hi Andrea,
I didn't JUST sew the tips of the ears to the hat. I Sewed the bottom cm (0.4 inch) part of the ear to the hat. Otherwise the ears kept easily flopping over.
Hope this helps!
Olivia
Perfect. I'll try that. Thanks so much!
I had that problem with the first few I made (I have 5 kids, and had to made one for each of them). I crocheted the last round around a black pipe cleaner and they stand up perfectly.
Olivia: I love your hats but I am having some trouble sizing the Mickey Mouse hat for my 5 yr old Great Grandson. First I couldn't find any 8 ply yarn. What is that? bulky here in Victorville, Ca. is Bulky yarn and with a 6 mm hook and bulky yarn the hat is big enough for me. I also am not sure about round 15 and 16.Do you just quit after 35 stitches and turn and crochet theother way? I'm not sure how to proceed and I wanted to have this to go to Oregon with his Grandmother in two days.I would so appreciate your help. Should I use my bulky yarn which is a 6 ply and go down to Size e & f needles? Your patterns are just beautiful and I hope to do more of them. I made the pieces to keep the hair out of the girls eyes when they exercize and they loved them. My name is Judi
Another name for 8ply yarn is DK (Double Knitting) yarn 🙂
I'm not sure how to adjust this hat for a 5 yr old though, sorry!
Olivia
Do you know who makes double knitting yarn in the United States? I also am not sure about round 15 and 16.Do you just quit after 35 stitches and turn and crochet the other way? I'm not sure how to proceed.
I'm not sure where you would buy it as I live in Australia. However, I've heard it's quite a common yarn, so it shouldn't be to hard to find!
Yes, after 35 stitches you turn and crochet the other way.
I made the hat!!! It is for our trip to Disneyland in few weeks. But I am facing a big problem…. The ears don't stay up. Any trick you can share with me? BTW, I made 2 ears and sew them together to make it thicker/stronger but still not staying up… 🙁
Hello,
I didn't JUST sew the tips of the ears to the hat. I Sewed the bottom cm (0.4 inch) part of the ear to the hat. Otherwise the ears kept easily flopping over.
Hope this helps!… And have fun in Disneyland!

Our school is having a fundraiser, and each class is making a themed basket for an auction. Our basket has a DIsney theme, so I am making these hats! So excited. I wanted to check with you to see: If I have your permission to do this; and what you want on the "This pattern was made by…" tag. Thank you in advance! This is the cutest mouse ears pattern I've come across 🙂
That's wonderful, I'm so glad you like my patterns!.. And thank you for giving me credit!
You can say, "This pattern was made by Olivia from Hopeful Honey".
Have a lovely day,
Olivia
my youngest son is wanting the mickey hat…and I love it also. the only problem is he is 4. can you tell me how I can adjust the hat to fit him instead of a 0-3 month old???? Thank you.
what size do these fit?
hi how can I make this hat or any other Disney character hat to fit a teens head (13-15)?
Hello,
You can use this earflap hat pattern, but just crochet the embellishments from my pattern. –> http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2013/01/crochet-puppy-hat-pattern.html
Hope this helps!
Olivia
Do you think this pattern will fit a 9 month old? My grandson LOVES Mickey and I want to make one for him. Thanks. Beth
Hi..thanks for this pattern..can u pl show us how to do a mickey mouse…if time permits
Do you ever plan on trying to get a pattern for bigger kids?
im confused on rounds 15 and 16. do you crochet 15 and turn the work to make round 16? please help =]
Hi do you have a pattern for the differnt size
what is the gauge for this pattern? You listed it for the booties and it was very helpful since I am using a worsted weight yarn. Love your patterns Olivia, thanks for sharing! I can't wait to send the mickey booties and hopefully this hat has a gift for a new little baby in our family!
Hi,
I've already made this hat twice because your pattern is so cute and easy to understand. I haven't been entirely with my ear placement. Do you have any tips on how to make the ears stand as they do in your pics?
Thanks
Hi. Im confused!!! Ugghhh. After row 16, left ear flap? Is this separate from the row 16?????
Hi, I’m having trouble with round 16. Round 15 says to crochet hdc in the next 35 sets. I have that done but I don’t understand what to do in round 16. It says to chain two and 1 hdc into the next 35 sets but there’s only 18 left there. Could somebody explain what it is I’m spouse to do here please!
I am confused about the same thing .
its really nice i like it
its great really i like it
Do u have this pattern for a 6 to 9 month old baby. I tried the 3 to 6 months one but it’s to small for my baby’s head
Very beautiful projects
This is so adorable. I’d love to make this. We are having a July 1 parade (a Canadian holiday) where I work and our supervisor’s wife is having a baby any day. Our parade theme is Mickey Mouse and my direct supervisor has asked me to make the hat and the booties in time for the parade.
I did not finish my comment. Long work day. I am looking for the stitch gauge or the yarn weight. In Canada they are rated 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 etc. starting from finest weight. A stitch gauge from your yarn wrapper would greatly help me find a suitable yarn.
Based on the hook sizes and the pictures and the sizes, I would think 4 bulk yarn. JMHO
I NEED (LOL) to make this hat for my stepdad. Can I just multiply the pattern stitch counts? Head circumference in the 20’s.
What’s the gauge for this pattern?
