The sweet little baby that is growing in my tummy got me thinking of all the cute hats I need be making in preparation for his/her arrival. I loved the idea of making a lamb hat and I had to make a boy version and a girl version since we don’t know the gender yet. There are lots of different yarns you could use to create different effects and you can even add some felt accents to create a lamb face. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Be sure to post your finished hat on my Facebook page for all to see ð
Materials:
– Worsted Weight Yarn (weight category 4) – I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Silver Gray and Beige for the gray hat. You can buy this yarn HERE.
OR
– Bulky Weight Yarn (weight category 6 ) – I used Loops & Threads Country Loom Baby yarn in White for the white hat and accented it with Vanna’s Choice yarn in pink for the ears. I purchased the bulky white yarn at Michaels.
– Size J (6.00mm) crochet hook
– Tapestry needle
Abbreviations:
SC = Single Crochet
HDC = Half Double Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
Bobble = Bobble Stitch

Lamb Ears Pattern:
Outer Ear: (Make 2)
Chain 8, HDC in second chain from hook and in the next 6, make 2 HDC in last chain
now work your way up the other side of the chain with HDC’s (7 HDC), join to first HDC, Chain 2
Round 2: 2 DC in the first 3 stitches, 2 HDC in next stitch, 2 SC in the next 8, 2 HDC in next stitch, 2 DC in last 3, join, fasten off leaving long tail to sew ear onto hat.
Inner Ear: (Make 2)
Chain 6, SC in second chain from hook and in the next 4, make 2 SC in last chain
now work your way up the other side of the chain with SC’s (5 SC), join to first SC, chain 2
Round 2: 2 DC in the first 2 stitches, 2 HDC in next stitch, 2 SC in next 6, 2 HDC in next stitch, 2 DC in last two stitches, join, fasten off leaving long tail to sew inner ear inside the outer ear.
After you sew the inner ear into the outer ear, pinch the end together and sew some of it shut before you sew it onto the hat.
Here is what the back of the ears look like once they are sewn onto the hat:
Feel free to add your own embellishments. I went ahead and added a felt face to my hat! I cut out the face, eyes and nose from felt, added two black buttons for the eyes and stitched everything together and then onto the front of the hat with matching yarn and a tapestry needle.

My friend Stephanie over at All About Ami recently made the most adorable sheep amigurumi named Cotton! The best part is that her and I happened to use the exact same white yarn: Loops & Threads Country Loom Baby! I think the hat and the amigurumi together would be a wonderful gift for child and would also make the most adorable newborn photo prop. Click HERE to see how she made this adorable little lamb ð

MUST MAKE!! SO adorable! Thanks for making this available!
visiting from HoHD!
These are so cute!! Too funny, that just a few days ago, I was going to email you. And ask if you would make a pattern for lamb hats. I had twins, just a few weeks ago. And the theme of their nursery is, Little Lambs. I'm definitely going to be making these! Thanks for always sharing your patterns. ð
Very beautiful! I am amazed. As soon as I am done with other projects I will make one. ð Thanks for sharing ð
So darling! Thanks again for being so generous! I love your patterns!! ð
Absolutely adorable! Thanks for sharing your pattern – I stumbled across it from All About Ami's link on Facebook – I'm a fan too! I think I could make a unisex one in the same kind of colour scheme as the Cotton sheep by Stephanie. Great inspiration ð LOVE and I'm pinning this! <3
Wow, Sarah! This is absolutely precious! And your pattern is so through – it must've taken you a week to write it! You just keep getting better and better. It's an honor to have you on Hookin On Hump Day!!
Hi Sarah,
I must say that I absolutely love this pattern! As soon as I saw it I sat down and made one in the grey/beige combo! So cute! I just have one quick question for you, my bobble stitches are all dimpled into the hat. No matter how many times I push them out they pop right back in. I haven't made anything using this stitch before, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for such an awesome pattern!!!!
seven years too late, but I suspect you might have your hat inside out. I’m making this pattern right now and am also having a hard time determining which side is the OUTside. I was trying to push the bobbles out when I realized, if they keep going back IN then that’s probably the outside! (mind blown)
You are just so talented. Thanks so much for sharing that talent with others. I love love love your patterns.
So cute, I love your patterns.
This one is going to be featured on the At Play blog tomorrow (friday 4/26).

Love it!!!! I make hats to donate to charity and this will be a welcome addition to my pattern inventory!!!!
That is the cutest thing I have ever seen!
Do you ch 40 and sl st in the 2nd ch and across for the first earflap?
Thank you so much for this great pattern. I made one for my daughter for her first dress-up party.
I have some pictures here: http://www.lamblovesfox.com/2013/06/152365-we-went-to-our-first-dress-up.html
Thanks again!!!
My daughter is going to be in a Christmas play for school. She looks about the same size as your daughter in the pictures of her in the lamb hat. (beautiful work by the way!) Could you tell me if you made her the preschool or child size? Thank you!
I have a baby girl coming in Sept (2013) and my mom and I were perusing Pinterest and came across a link to your page. When we saw the pattern for this hat, we both knew that my mom just had to make it! To say the least, I LOVE how it turned out and I cannot wait to see it on my baby girl!! Thanks for all the great patterns! We are having so much fun going through them all! Here is a link to her finished hat! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201197084791358&set=a.1849219152382.2108816.1297806777&type=1&theater¬if_t=mentions_comment
I like how organized your instructions are. Thank you.
I too, like Emily Doyle, am having a baby girl that is due in October. My baby's initials are "LAM" so I am looking for anything lamb for her. I saw a hat at the store that was close to a lamb but not quite right but it gave me the idea. Your pattern is PERFECT, adorable, thorough, priceless, amazing, and more words that I can't think of right now. Thank you so much for posting it for everyone to use! I will post the picture of me and baby Lily wearing our lamb hats when she's born!
So adorable – thanks for sharing. Congratulations on becoming a mom!
how sweet.. thanks for sharing… ruby
Adorable! Thanks for sharing ð
Adorable! Thanks for sharing ð
I love this pattern! I'm just finishing one, I'll post a pic on ravelry as soon as I've put it on my toddler's head! Thank you, Sarah.
I made this in the 6-12 month size and it turned out darling but rather small for a 6 month old. Am I just crocheting too tight? Or does the little girl I made it for just have a huge head? (not my daughter so feel free to choose that option without me taking offense)
I used Bernat Satin and as it turns out that makes a much smaller hat than Vanna's Choice though they all claim the same weight. Just a warning to others! Really learning my lesson here. But the hat is really cute. I love it and the pattern is super easy to follow.
This creativity is so awesome in my opinion and this kid stuff looks really cool.
Yupoong 1501
Super – very cool!!!! âĨ
So much fun to make but i used the FPHDC and BPHDC's to finish off the hat for a 1 year old girl! ð thank you so much for the pattern and I look forward to your next pattern!
This hat is zoo cute but mu bobbles do not always puff out and stay there…is there a hint?
This hat is zoo cute but mu bobbles do not always puff out and stay there…is there a hint?
I've just finished making one of these. Had to adapt the pattern slightly as my tension tends to be a bit loose. I used sc instead of hdc and it kept the tension tighter and bobbles more puffed out.
My little girl is being a sheep in her nativity tomorrow. Shall try and get a decent picture to put up.
Great pattern. Thanks very much.
This hat is sooo cute! I made one for a little nephew and it looks so nice on him! Thanks for the pattern!!
Hello, Sarah! I'm not one who typically posts comments; however, I am compelled to say I am thoroughly IMPRESSED by your creative and generous offerings on this blog! (My son laughed out loud at the name of your site – "Repeat Craft-er Me…Ha! Funny, Mom!" I had my kids late in life, and when they were in their early teens I came down ill and had to quit work; I took up crocheting (after a 20-year hiatus) to feel productive. I don't have grandkids yet, but am (great-) Auntie Sue to many nieces and nephews, including little ones at church. It's hard to choose which projects to make; they're all so clever! Your instructions are clear, and I appreciate your taking the time to create separate instructions for different size hats. I've been trying to find uses for a large skein of white baby boucle I was given; this is the PERFECT project. Thanks again for generously sharing your creativity with those whose minds are waning…. <3><
Which came first, the problem or the soutlion? Luckily it doesn’t matter.
not to mention the number of loggers, fishermen, people who die in car accidents etc. is all down since 1977, due to the advancement of a thing called ‘technology’.100 years ago a canary in a coal mine was the way you detected methane. Now most miners have methane detectors.50 years ago no cars had airbags. Now most cars have 4 airbags as a minimum and ABS brakes.
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I’ve truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again soon!
Hairy torso destroys our energy! And I relocated poo-poo inside the eggs salad-nooooo Mary, ermahgarsh delay that’s not what I wished to assume. Disease.. . this might be certainly my new ringtone. forever
What an adorable hat! And thank you for offering it to your readers at no charge. I found it on pinterest.
Thanks again!

LOVE this pattern, but my bobbles just don't like to stick out ~ not sure if using a larger or smaller hook would make a difference ~ HELP!!!! I really want to create this for our granddaughter!
love this hat made one for a preemie… now my 39 year old daughter wants one to wear…lol can you help me make a larger one?
duh …sorry i see it now ty for sharing….love it…
thank you very much
Silly question but after making the hat are you supposed to flip inside or right side out? My bobbles aren't sticking out much when I do.
You posted a while ago and probably figured it out, but I thought mine was looking less cute when i finished and before adding the ears, then i flipped it inside out and voila!
PLEASE HELP! I am trying to do the inner ears. It says to Chain 6, SC in second chain from hook and in the next 4, make 2 SC in last chain…
Can someone please explain…If I chain 6, and sc in second chain, that leaves "4 free chains", then when I do the Sc in the next 4, that leaves "0" free chains. Explain where the chain comes from to do those "2SC" in the last chain…where is the last chain. Is there a typo in the instructions? Do I need to chain "7" instead of "6", or am I missing something. Thanks
I know this post is almost a year old, but I'm having the same issue… hoping for help ð
You are actually doing 4 sc and 4 sc in the last stitch then continue around the other side with 4 sc, sl st to first sc. Took me a bit to figure out too. Awkwardly written.
So we are doing a bobble stitch and THEN a HDC in the NEXT stitch. (In your video it sounds like you said HDC in the SAME stitch however your directions say NEXT and that is what I'm doing)
This is super super cute ð Love the idea of adding a face to the lamb hat! Great job!

I have torn out and redone several rounds about 3 times!! My numbers of stitches match up just right, but the hat won't curve down and feels like it has too many stitches? Help!!
Thank you EVER SO MUCH! A friend wanted one of these for her new baby and I just couldn't figure out how to start it! It was really easy to follow and soooo cute! Again, Thanks!
This is so adorable!! I just taught myself to crochet yesterday and got through this perfectly! My maiden name is Lamb, so it's awesome to keep myself busy with the baby coming in a week or so!
Quick question: if I was to make adult sizes for my siblings to have for some silly family photos over christmas, do I need to make the ears any larger? I feel like they might look a little small on a full-sized beanie. and if so, how do I do that?
Thanks so much!!
I made the preschooler size hat and thought the ear pattern was too small as written–what makes the original hat so adorable to me is the oversize floppy ears. To enlarge them a little, I did two of Round 1 before going on to Round 2 for both inner and outer ear patterns.
Thank you so much!
Your posting really stagrihtened me out. Thanks!
Sarah, you truly are a genius, I loved this lambmikin hat. I made it for newborn and made adjustments. Princess Lambmie had smooth curly hair, by using HDC instead of bobbles, only used for ear flaps. I paired with matching poncho, will send pic. Thanks again, Rosie;
Love it! Super tutorial. Can't wait to make it for my grand baby, who's due in April! I also love little Cotton – thanks for the link! Best!
Great way to make a cute and very useful little baby hat! I had this small skein of bumpy white yarn and this used most of it! Darling!
Wanted to thank you for such a great pattern. I just finished it today. I could not believe how quick it worked up.
I just wrote a post about it over on my blog http://sawitmadeit.blogspot.com/2014/12/this-week.html.
Help, I have too many stitches, don't know what I did wrong? New to pattern reading.
Is it weird that I noticed you used a wine glass? Lol super cute!

Hi, Sarah! Thank you for this fantastic pattern! You're a crochet genie!
I did it with a very fine yarn for a baby girl and a 3mm hook and the result: beyond than beautiful! I love everything you do! Thank you for helping us accomplish our dreams! I would like to send you the picture!
Hi, I'm also using a fine yarn (baby wool to be exact) and i'm using a 3,5mm hook. I was wondering: did you adjust the pattern? When I made it the first time, it was too small. Now I'm trying to increase by using the pattern for 3-6months, but it still looks very small… I guess I'll have to adjust again (so pull everything out until round 4 and start over), but I don't know how I can estimate which pattern (for which age) I should use… Is there a trick to do this? After yarning round 5, I just can't judge if it's big enough, so I yarn round 6-7-8-9 and thÃĐn I evaluate… but that's not very efficient off course… Thanks for the advice!
Hi, Karen! You'll have to adjust the pattern (with one of the optional instructions) and I've learnt a simple trick from Clare of Bobwilson123 which has helped me a lot and has saved me a lot of time.
You put your work on a flat surface and with the measuring tape, you measure from side to side and multiply that number by 3,14. The result will give you the size of the circumference you have at that moment.
For example, you measure your circle and it's 12 cm wide, if you do 12*3,14 = 37,68, in that case you get the size circumference of a 3mo to 6mo baby (look for charts on the internet for size of circumference and height in babies, that it's really helpful).
Please, let me know if this has helped you.
Hi Marina, thank you for the tip… I'll check it out! Meanwhile, I saw my grandmother yesterday and she gave me the advice to use double yarn (so 2 threads in stead of 1) and to use a bigger hook. I tried this and it magically worked! So I still used the pattern for 0-3 months. I'm eager to check out if it matches the size of an actual baby head :-). Thanks a lot!
Hi Marina Sibellino!!
I’m also working with a fine yarn and a 3.00 mm hook, so I’m following the 3-6 months pattern for a 2-3 months old baby…..do you think it will fit her?
Thanks a lot in advance, have a nice day, regards!
Hello Sarah! Thank You for the pattern. As this year is Lamb year and I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Also my 2 friends had babys this year, so we have 3 little lambs ð I used the pattern and made the hats to them ð
Hi Sarah, I love this hat of yours so much that I’ve been struggling to make it for so long and am determined to get it right…but keep getting my stitch count wrong. I have a question for you…do I count the chain two as a HDC in the beginning? Could I crochet in a spiral so that I don’t have to join at the end? I don’t know why I’m getting so messed up and landing up with funny holes in the join areas..
Thanks,
Malaika
I am trying to work up the hat. Does the chain 2 count as a half double crochet?
I am making the toddler/preschooler size and it seems that the hat just keeps getting wider…like a big circle…instead of taking shape and forming to the head. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
After chaining the 40 on the ears I had a long string coming off the ear, did I do it wrong?
Hi!
I absolutely LOVE your patterns! I just started crocheting a few weeks ago, and can’t wait to make this hat for my niece-to-be!
Quick question- How much yarn does this hat require? (please tell for both yarn options as I’m still undecided)
Thank you!
Hi! Just wondering if you ever got an answer to this post? I have a new baby arriving in just a couple weeks and thought this would be awesome for newborn photo props, but I haven’t seen anyone mention how much yarn to use and I’m still a very new crocheter! Thanks for your time!! ð
Thanks so much for the great tutorial! I made my toddler a hat for our church Christmas pageant, cutest (wandering!) lamb ever. The pattern was very easy to follow.
Curious if you have a gauge for this pattern? I know aviator hat, I need to use a 4.5 to get the gauge right…
Adorable scheme:) IÂīve used it to create my own raspberry crochet hat:)))
Not sure if I will get a reply, but curious to know how many stitches in the magic ring to start off the pattern. I am a beginner crocheter. Please help!
I am teaching myself how to read crochet patterns. One step of the pattern has me stuck. What does it mean & how to I complete this step when it says: chain 2 (8 HDC), etc?
“hello” you do a chain 2 in the stitch indicated and then you do the a one HDC in each stitch around when it is in (8) that is how many stitches you should have when you reach the end of the round.
Thank you so much for your way to follow patterns! Everything worked out so smoothly! I’m an experienced novice, lol, and it only took me like 2 hours!
Ok I’m lost on round 2….how do you have 8 of the HDC AND 8 bobbles? I have 4 and 4. Are you doing a HDC and a bobble in the same stitch?
Yes, the instructions say to HDC and bobble in the first stitch and in each one around. That way you will end up with 8 HDC and 8 bobbles ð
Hello.. I love you patterns.. my question is on the 0-3 months when doing the ears.. it say to chain 8 and then crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook… I did that and then it says to crochet in the next 6 and 2 in the last.. there are only 6 stitches left so where is the mistake.. do I HD in the second chain from hook and then the next 5… thanks for your help.
Hi..
I’m now making this hat for a new born.
But i wonder why the size is too small even if i make it in adult size pattern.
can you tell me why?
i use size 6 hook.
Need your help ASAP ð
thank you.
Frost bitten greetings from Finland!
My name is Sanna. I just finished the lamb hat and posted it on Facebook page created for eager crocheters over this side of the pond -https://www.facebook.com/groups/48325832465/. Unfortunately on top of being closed group it’s also in Finnish language.
That being said, quite a few of the page followers fell in love with your pattern, but the snag is that they are unable to follow English instructions. They asked me translate the pattern instructions to Finnish and then post it inside that group. In order to do that I would need your approval. What say you?
Ta muchly,
Sanna
I don’t have a comment,but I do have a question, I just found this site, & saw a lot af cute patterns. I am planning on making the lambs hat for a teenager. I am going to use Bernat Baby Blanket yarn ( bulky) . In your explanation you said it could be done with bulky yarn , but you didnt say anything about using a larger hook . Do you think that should be done.
If you could respond to my e-mail address that would be great! Thanks
Does anyone know the circumfrace for each size of the lamb hat. My granddaughter has a large head so I don’t know what size to make. Super cute I would love to make one.
Hi…lovely pattern. .I love that u share such wonderful patterns with us for free. U made me fall in love with crochet.love u ..love u .thank u & keep it up
I get confused when starting with the magic loop. If I start with 8 hdc into the magic loop and join w/ a slip stitch, I end up with 9 stitches around. Am I doing something wrong?
Hello, I love this pattern! This is my second time making it as well! This time I am making it for an adult and I was wondering if the ears are suppose to be the same size as a baby’s ears or is there a way to make them bigger?
Thanks!
I made this lamb hat for a 15 yr old. She wanted it made with Bernat Baby Blanket yarn ( which is thick & very soft). I had to make several adjustments using this yarn. I used an N hook. After pulling it out several times using the teen size, I ended up using the child’s size & only doing 9 rows & the ear flaps I used the direction for 6 mo – preschooler using 10 single crochet. It fits her good & she loves her.
wow So Cuteee!!!

I made it — but something weird happened that you might help me understand. All my bobble stitches went to the underside and NOTHING I could do would make them pop to the top. I completed the hat and turned it inside out to attach the ears. Why did my bobbles go the back and refuse to stay on top? Any help you can give me would be appreciated. LOVE THIS PATTERN!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

Hi, I would like to make the white hat but can only find cream. Is that what you used?
I love this, I am trying it soon. Do you have a pattern for the bottom? TIA

When you make the HDC after making a bobble. You have to push the bobble up l, kind of above the HDC.

Hey I just love this hat but when I stiched it up in bulky yarn it was gigantic….what hook do you suggest? It was super thick as well.

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I am using this one to make a hat for a little bit undergoing chemotherapy. Just wanted to let you know your hard work making this pattern will go to someone who truly loves it!
I am going to make my hat in white for a 5 month old baby. I noticed you used two different weights of yarn for each hat. Does this hat run smaller or larger in size? Should I make the 0-6 months or 6 to 12 months with a 6 weight yarn? Thanks!
Thank you for this great free pattern, Sarah! Is there (or does anyone know of) a crochet pattern for the lambâs body? I am making costumes for my schoolâs Nativity play and would love a childâs sized (free) crochet pattern!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern and have made this for gifts several times. I have found that Michaelâs no longer makes the Loops and Threads baby yarn. Do you have a recommendation for something similar?
This blog very nice and informative. Thanks for sharing this blog.I am waiting for your next articles.Keep it up quicklyâĶ

I just finished the child size. I ended up with the 14 rounds yet my hat doesn’t look “long” like yours, it is “flatter”. Any thoughts? Also, when I put it on my 2yr. old granddaughter, it barely fits. It seems to be a little on the small side. I am a tight crocheter but the length seemed short and I did go back and count rounds and had 14.

Great Content. Really Informative. Appreciate it.
Thank you so much for the Lamb pattern Sarah. I have recently started my own website and got my first order today. A lady that is pregnant sent me a picture of a lamb beanie and asked if I could make it for her. I started searching for a pattern and yours came up. I am a single mom with a young teenage boy and crochet is my passion. Thank you for having a part in making my first order possible. I am so excited to start crocheting – just first busy writing down the pattern for my file. (I am old-school, want to feel the pen in my hand and the paper next to me while I crochet) Wonderful blog! Thanks again. xxx
