Mickey Mouse Inspired Hat & Diaper Cover Crochet Pattern

A couple of weeks ago I was busy sorting through a lot of my old projects when to my surprise I realised I hadn’t created a Disney inspired pattern in quite a while.
This quickly led me to the cupboard my yarn stash likes to call home, which is exactly where I spotted some beautiful red, yellow and black yarn sitting neatly next to one another. Instantly I knew I had to create a Mickey Mouse hat and diaper cover, which led to this project you see below!

  2. Hello Molly!
    Probably, but I haven't altered the pattern to use just those stitches though, sorry!
    This stitch is a very easy one to learn though, maybe give it a go?

  12. I am going to try this. Wish me luck. But most of all I thank you ever so much for the free pattern. I have a lot of arthritis in my hands so I do this and knitting to help keep my fingers and hands and wrist working. I don’t have a lot of money so I thank you for the free patterns. I am looking for a pattern to make my nephews a Batman hat and cape so the can play pretend. If you know where I might find one I would really appreciate any help. Thank you once again. Ada

  18. Hi Olivia, I enjoyed doing this mickey mouse outfit but I loved the way the hat turned out and I was wondering if there is a pattern for this but for adult size?

  19. Hi Olivia!
    I have really loved using this pattern. It’s super easy to follow! I have also changed out the colors and done (in addition to mickey) a Winnie the pooh and I’m working on Mike Wazoski.
