Baymax Crochet Hat

Big Hero 6 is now out on DVD and Blu-ray! And a Big Hero 6 movie night is not complete without a Baymax crochet hat! I have a feeling there will be a lot of little Baymax’s trick-or-treating this coming Halloween so if your little one is a Big Hero 6 fan, you might want to get a head start on this hat! Since it is all one color it actually works up pretty quickly!

Materials:
– White Worsted Weight Yarn and one strand of black yarn
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Two small black buttons
– Poly-fil stuffing

Baymax Head:
Magic ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 3-11: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 12: SC Decrease, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 13: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1

Round 14: SC Decrease until closed.

Be sure to sew on buttons and line of black yarn between the button eyes after round 13. Then stuff with polyfil and continue to round 14.

Fasten off leaving long tail.

To make bigger head and arms use a larger hook and/or thicker yarn. For the head pattern, you can also increase one more time after Round 2… So Round 3 would look like this: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1 (30 SC).

Sew head onto top of hat. I stitched it on twice for extra support.

Baymax Arms: make 2

Round 19: SC Decrease, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 20-24: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1

Fasten off leaving long tail.

Stuff lightly with polyfil and sew top of the arms closed.

To make arms longer, feel free to add on rounds during the repeat rows (3-4, 6-8, 10-11, 13-18, or at the end). To make arms shorter, take off rows during the repeating rows or at the end.

The arms should hang over the bottom of the hat.

Sew arms onto the hat about 3 rows down from the top on each side (the side is where the hat creases when laid flat). Then carry the tapestry needle down through the middle back of the arm, sewing it down to the had in a couple places. When you get to the bottom, stitch the edge of hat onto the bottom of the arms.
