Minnie Mouse Inspired Baby Hat Crochet Pattern

January 7, 2014 Category: Baby / Crochet / Hats + Headbands / Patterns

Since I was little, I would instantly be glued to the tv, grinning from ear to ear whenever Minnie Mouse appeared on screen…
She was literally, the definition of adorable!
I’ve been so infatuated with her recently, that I even bought a vintage cappuccino cup, featuring the original Minnie on the front for a lovely friend as a Christmas gift!
So it’s no wonder I’ve finally decided to create a cute Minnie Mouse Baby Hat!

What You’ll Need

6.00mm Crochet Hook
5.00mm Crochet Hook

Newborn, 0 – 3 Months Old – HERE

Round 15~ Chain 2. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet only into the next 35 stitches. {Note: This is starting to create the back of the hat as well as the ear-flaps.}
Round 16~ Chain 2. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 35 stitches. Do NOT fasten off, as you will be crocheting the left ear-flap in the same place.

~ Ear Flaps ~

Left Ear-Flap
Round 1~ Chain 1. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet Decrease. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 6 stitches. Then crochet 1 Half Double Crochet Decrease.

Round 3~ Chain 1. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet Decrease. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 2 stitches. Then crochet 1 Half Double Crochet Decrease.
Round 4~ Chain 1. Crochet 2 Half Double Crochet Decreases.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.

Right Ear-Flap
Start of by attaching your pink yarn to the last stitch of Row 16.
Right across from where the left ear-flap is.
Round 1~ Chain 1. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet Decrease. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 6 stitches. Then crochet 1 Half Double Crochet Decrease.

Round 4~ Chain 1. Crochet 2 Half Double Crochet Decreases.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.

~ Ears ~

Round 1~ Taking your 5.00mm crochet hook and black yarn, start of by making a Slip Knot, then crochet 2 Chains. Crochet 7 Half Double Crochets into the first chain you made. Slip Stitch into the top of chain 2. You should have 8 half double crochets now.
Round 2~ Chain 2, then crochet a Half Double Crochet into the same stitch. Crochet 2 Half Double Crochets into every stitch all around. Slip Stitch into the top of chain 2. You should have 16 half double crochets now. 
Round 3~ Chain 2, then crochet a Half Double Crochet into the same stitch. *Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet. Then crochet 2 Half Double Crochets in the next stitch. Repeat from the * all around. Slip Stitch into the top of chain 2. You should have 24 half double crochets now.
Round 4~ Chain 2, then crochet a Half Double Crochet into the same stitch. *Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 2 stitches. Then crochet 2 Half Double Crochets in the next stitch. Repeat from the * all around. Slip Stitch into the top of chain 2. You should have 32 half double crochets now.
Repeat ear pattern once more to make a pair.
Then, taking your tapestry needle, sew both ears to the top of your hat, making sure they’re evenly spaced out.
Fasten off, and weave in ends. 

~ Bow ~

Taking your 5.00mm crochet hook and pink yarn, start of by making a Slip Knot, then crochet 40 Chains.

Row 1~ Chain 2, skip 2 chains from your hook, then crochet Half Double Crochets all across into every chain.
Row 2 – 8 ~ Chain 2, half double crochet into every stitch across.
When you’ve completed all the rows, connect the two ends of the bow band together to create a circle and Slip Stitch them together.
Once you’ve slip stitched the ends together, flip the slip stitched part
to the inside and fasten your yarn off. You don’t want to trim your
yarn less than 55″/140cm because you need a long enough tail to wrap
around your bow.
Start of by slowly yet tightly wrapping the yarn around the center of
the bow. You need to wrap it around the bow at least 15 times. When
you’ve finished wrapping, knot it to the back of the bow.
Then taking your wool/tapestry needle, work the bow onto the top of your hat, right in the middle.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.
Taking your six white buttons, sew them onto your bow with your snow white yarn and tapestry needle, making sure to space them out evenly. This creates the white polka dots.

~ Braided Tassels ~

Taking your black, white and pink yarn, cut 9 strands of yarn (3 of every colour), each 30 inches
long. Then make a simple knot into the bottom of the left ear-flap. Make
a loose braid as short or long as you like, (Mine was 8 inches) then
tie a knot at the end, and cut of any excess yarn.

Repeat for the right ear-flap.

Hope you all enjoyed this Disney inspired pattern!

I’d love to see it!
Have a lovely day crocheting!

      I did this hat for a two year old but i used #4 worsted weight yarn and a 5.5mm crochet hook…i did the ears and bow with a 4.5 mm hook so they would be stiffer….i modified the bow a bit….it came out perfect for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter

      or you used the wrong weight of yarn. try using a smaller hook. I have the same problem when I knit or crochet and I have found using a smaller hook or lighter weight of yarn works for me. good luck

    I'm a little confused with this pattern. When starting off, it all makes sense; however, when you say "Chain 2, then crochet a Half Double Crochet into the same stitch," do you mean the same stitch that you made before you chained 2, or the stitch that you begun on the last round?

    Also, when I finished round 3, I made 24 half double crochets and didn't make it all the way around the circle. If I did, I would have 32. Is it not supposed to make it all the way around? Maybe I am just confusing myself!

    Could you explain this for me?

      You do the half double crochet in the same stitch as the slip stitch. I'm guessing maybe the counting is off on round 3. Your chain 2 counts as 1. Then you half double crochet in the same, that makes 2. You do 1 hdc in the next, then 2 hdc in the next. Keep this pattern going around & it should give you 24 hdc at the end. Hope this helps! πŸ™‚

    Round 16~ Chain 2. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 35 stitches. Do NOT fasten off, as you will be crocheting the left ear-flap in the same place. Am I going into the same 35 stitches for both rows?? It says next 35 but seems it should be same. Either way it seems I will end up where right ear flap will be yet pattern says left one will go there. Maybe I'm just confused. Hope you can help me. I'm almost done! πŸ™‚

      Hello Sharol!

      Another name for 8ply yarn is DK (Double Knitting) yarn. It tends to have other names around the world, but in Australia (where I'm from) it's commonly known as 8ply yarn. Sorry for any confusion!

      Also, 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. You can also attach them to the bow for a bit of extra support.

    Hi, I am attempting to create this hat for a 1-1/2 yr old with head circumference of 19". I saw the link you posted for the other user looking to create a larger size. I used that pattern to begin and then switched back to yours because of the design differences. It has gone really well until I hit the back/earflap area beginning at row 15. I am wondering if you could help me determine the number of stitches I should use in rows 15/16 and the flaps to make them proportional given the increased number of stitches to accommodate the larger size? At the end of row 14 I have 67 stitches. I really appreciate the help, I am trying to create this for my niece to wear with her Minnie Mouse Halloween costume. Thanks!

    The American patterns are so much more exciting than those here in England I would add so well done to everyone who designs these wonderful patterns.

    I picked my own placement, and then I put a tuck in the bottom of each to ensure they keep standing, and put a 12 inch yarn through the last quarter of the outside, threading through the top of the hat and tying off on the inside, see my ravelry library for the finished product turned out cute.

Maybe rework it so it doesn't have the side flaps or the string ties so that is more a beanie type hat? Thanks for all your wonderful patterns.

    May I ask what brand of yarn you used? I found the name in Vanna's Choice but it looks rather dark. Thank you I'm advance!

    I'm definitely having issues with your pattern. I followed it and double checked my work and it doesn't come out to what you have. The hat part for the skull is a lot shorter than what you have pictured and the earflaps are way too far back and too small.

    Any suggestions or even a revised version?

      I made this following the 3 – 6 month pattern, using two strands of #4 yarn and a J hook, thinking it would be a little bit bigger, but as I was crocheting, I realized it was bigger than I meant for to be. I just kept going to see what I would come out with. It ended up fitting my big-for-his-age 3 years grandson with room. Came out super cute. When you get to rows 15-16, it seems confusing but if you just keep following the instructions, it will make sense. The pattern adds an extra couple rows to the back, which is a really nice ending result.

    As a side note I made this for my two year old. The only thing I changed was in row 6 I continued the increase patterns of the previous rows, 2 hdc in first st then hdc in next 4 stitches, then increased the number of black rows to 13, but kept the pink rows and the ear flaps the same. Turned out great!

    Hi Angie I was reading your message and I was curious if you could help me. I know you said you were making it for your two-year-old as well who has a 19.5 to 20 inch size head I'm not quite sure if yours is that large or not but I was wondering if you could help me with the increased since I've never been good with addition or reduction of a crochet pattern. I'm sort of a novice to intermediate if you can email me your added instructions I'd be grateful. Or if anyone has figured it out or could help me I would be awesome or even just write it on here meaning reply to my message. Because it seems that others are having the same problem or asking the same question. My email address is bulwarksmasher25@gmail.com I also want to say Olivia, thank you so much for putting this on your website my daughter loves mini mouse and I am so excited to make it for her your patterns are fantastic and I've done several of them so far so thanks and keep crochet πŸ™‚

    Could I get a stitch count for rows 7-16? I appear to be increasing with that first stitch and it just doesn't look right. I have a seam on the left ear flap and it curves forward. Is that how it's supposed to be?

    Hi , I’m having trouble with rounds 15 and 16. Round 15 says to crochet 1 hdc in only the next 35 sets. Then round 16 says to crochet 1hdc into the next35 sets but there is only 18 sets there.

    Do you have a second blog site? If not, it looks like another blogger has fully copied the pattern as their own, as well as used your original photographs πŸ™

    Good afternoon, I love this pattern, but I am wondering if you have a pattern for an adult and a child size. We want to do a family picture with the hats.
