Crochet Cabbage Patch Doll Inspired Hat

A couple months ago I came across THIS crochet cabbage patch doll hat pattern. And about the same time my mom found my old cabbage patch doll that she gave me when I was 4 years old! I knew I was going to have to pass the doll down to my newborn daughter AND make her a matching cabbage doll hat. It is perfect for a Halloween costume!

First I need to introduce you to the Loop Stitch. The entire hat will be made with this stitch so if you aren’t familiar with it, here is a little tutorial on how to make this stitch:

Step 1: Insert hook in stitch.
Step 2: Hook yarn around the backside of both strands of the loop around your finger.
Step 3: Pull both strands through stitch. You now have 3 loops on your hook and one large loop sticking out the back of the stitch.
Step 4: Adjust your loop by pulling it to be a little smaller (if you want)
Step 5: Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook.
Step 6: You have completed one Loop Stitch

And here is a little video. I apologize for the poor quality 😐

When the hat is complete you will want to flip it inside out so the loops are on the outside.

Materials:
– Worsted Weight Yarn. I used Loops & Threads Impeccable in Soft Taupe.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– White Ribbon
– Stitch Marker

Abbreviations:
Magic Ring Tutorial
SC = Single Crochet
Lp St = Loop Stitch

Cabbage Patch Doll Hat Pattern
Size: 0-3 Months
Magic ring, chain 1, make 11 SC in ring, continue to crochet in rounds
Round 2: Make one loop stitch in each stitch around (11 loop stitches)
Round 3: 2 Lp St in each stitch around (22 Lp St)
Round 4: Lp St in each stitch around (22 Lp St)
Round 5: 2 Lp St in first stitch, Lp St in next stitch, repeat around (33 Lp St)
Round 6: Lp St in each stitch around (33 Lp St)
Round 7: 2 Lp St in first stitch, Lp St in next 2 stitches, repeat around (44 Lp St)
Round 8-16: Lp St in each stitch around (44 Lp St)
Add more rows if you feel it is needed. I kept mine short so it would sit up higher on her forehead.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

I haven’t tested larger sizes but this is how I would increase:

Note: if hat starts to look skinny/pointy add a row of loop stitches between each increase as you did in the beginning of the pattern

Feel free to make hat as long or as short as you like. I like to keep mine short so it sits higher up on the forehead.

Braided Pigtails:

Cut 35 strands of 20 inch long yarn. Fold in half and tie another piece of yarn tightly to the middle point of your yarn strands. Use tapestry needle to sew onto sides of hat. Braid and tie ends with a white ribbon.

  18. I found you on Pinterest! So Awesome because I am a beginner and you appear to explain everything so well. I am still working on basics like slippers I found on Youtube (Lol) Hopefully I will be able to make something like this! Maybe I can accomplish this before Abagail is too old, lol – Thank you, MaryWithrow

  22. I am a tester for Ira Rott Fashion Designer and I used your before that. She taught us the Loop stitch in her Boston Terrier hat. It is very easy once you get the hang of it. I may have to make this hat. I made over 50 of your owl hats last year for my customers, although I had to use my own adjustments to make them bigger than the newborn size it came in.

  23. I'm following the pattern for the 9-12 month hat and it seems to be really BIG. Is it supposed to fit a little loose? Or should I try and do one less increase?

  31. Hi there! Thank u so much for this pattern, its amazing!! I actually want to make a bunch of these and take them up to the cancer institute and hand them out to the children who have lost their hair. I think it would bring much needed fun and smiles to them! But I have a question. Im done with the hat part, and have my 35 strands cut, but after i tie them in the middle, how did you attach it to the hat and made it look like the braids were coming out the sides? After i tie, do i cut that in half and sew in one set to each side? Because when i just lay it across the top of my hat, you can see it on top. Just a little confused! lol..any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you! If you need my email, it's [email protected] . Thank you so much and have a wonderful new year!!! 🙂

  32. Sarah, I would like to commend you on being a home maker and Mom to your 3 little ones. No one can replace you, though many would like to, so just keep it up. Mother of 4 aged 23 to 25. (it's true, they do grow up very quickly)

  41. Wow, I just finished this….a bigger version than you made, but I think it turned out pretty good for my very first time doing a loop stitch! Thanks so much for the great pattern and tutorial!

  42. I finally figured out how to follow you, but wanted to say, I LOVE your patterns! I started crocheting hats this year and didn't really know how to.read patterns but yours have helped me sooo much…I've made a bunch of different hats and can't wait to try this one! I tend to not follow one certain pattern but combine different ones with my own thoughts to see how they turn out 🙂 thank you so much for being so generous with your patterns and creativity….LOVE your blog!

  44. I'm so impressed with this. Have you come up with the larger sizing yet. A girlfriend's daughter wants one made for her daughter…12months old.. I am going to do this cause it is just so darn cute! I have been making hats too. Cupcake hats, elmo, angry bird, apples, candy corn, pumpkin, Frankenstein, piggy, reindeer, Mohawk, berets, ladybug, bananas, doggies, owls, sharks, monkeys, Police cap, USMC cap, and miscellaneous "normal" hats. They are all crocheted and I follow a simple base and just add on elements. I do NOT sell my hats…they end up as family gifts that sure give Me much joy! This cabbage patch doll inspired hat is just plain stunning from "one hat lady to another…I salute you". Thanks for the inspiration and pattern and if you do have the new larger sizing…much gratitude. Jeanne

  45. I just want to say that you taught me how to crochet, and showed me how to make adorable hats for my new son. I have shared this website with all the other moms in my mommy groups and they all love it. So…thank you very much for this wonderful website! I'm just trying this loop stitch now for my girlfriend's new baby – it'll be a great gift!

  47. I just finished making this hat for a friend who has a little girl. It came out great but I made my loops just a bit larger than yours. I'm hoping she'll like it. Thanks for the great pattern.

  51. Love this pattern, thank you for sharing! My loop stitches are too loose I guess, Somehow lots of them go flat! I guess I'd better give up but I really want to make this!

  53. I just unpacked my daughter's Cabbage dolls to give to her daughter, when this post showed up on FB. I have to make her one, can't wait to get started. Hope I can do those loops.

  59. Has anyone experienced the loops working out using I love this yarn? I have made this hat nine ways to Sunday. With G, H, I hooks. I have made it with all kind of twists to the yarn, both loops on the front of the hook, pulled through to the back, and many other ways imaginable, but the loops always work their way through to the other side. Not all loops, but you can see the inside raising as the loops begin working their way through the back with each stretch of the hat. Just wondering if using I love this yarn is a problem with this pattern?

    Reply

    • I figured out how to make this stitch, but it is not this simple. This way, the loops work themselves through to the back sometimes sooner, sometimes later. Depends on how much stretch and movement the hat sees. I’m glad I figured it out though because I made this hat about 20 different times trying to get the loops seated so that they do not come out. Love the pattern, adorable hat and so many fun patterns on this site! <3

  60. I would have had this damned thing done if it weren’t for those damned loops. I can get one row done fine, the second one is okay until I get to row three when I have to do two in one stitch and it pulls the freaking thing out. I’ve had to restart it at least 6 times. It’s nearly 6 am and I don’t have a thing to show for my work. Seriously, I want to just scream!!!!

  65. Do you remember how many yards of yarn you used? I’m trying to figure out if I have enough of a stashed yarn to make a 9 month-old size. Thanks!

  67. I have a friend who is starting chemo next week. I plan on making one for her (She turns 70 in a couple of weeks) She said she would wear it instead of a regular cap or a wig! If the first one comes out (if I follow the instructions properly.. LOL!) I plan on making her a couple more (I’m thinking rainbow yarn.. and /or bright blue and making “troll” hair).. Thank you for the pattern.. very easy to read!

  75. همه چيز درباره بدليجات همه ما نام بدليجات به گوشمان خورده و کم و بيش با آن آشنايي ضمني داريم اما اطلاعات دقيقي درباره جنس بدليجات، نحوه استفاده از آن‌ها و موارد ديگر نداريم. در گذشته‌هاي دور زماني که صحبت از بدليجات مي‌شد، کسي علاقه چنداني نشان نمي‌داد زيرا قيمت طلا و نقره انقدر بالا نبود و معمولا همه به سمت فلزات قيمتي مي‌رفتند، اما در سال‌هاي اخير که قيمت طلا و ديگر فلزات قيمتي افزايش چشمگيري داشته، بازار بدليجات رونق بسيار زيادي پيدا نموده و مردم براي زيباتر شدن به سمت بدليجات سوق داده شده‌اند. بدليجات انواع و اقسام مختلفي دارد که جنس متفاوتي دارند و بسته به کيفيت و جنس آن‌ها قيمتشان متفاوت است. بدليجات استيل قطعا با اين موضوع برخورد داشته‌ايد که هنگام خريد بدليجات، فروشنده در پاسخ به سوالي که شما درباره جنس بدليجات پرسيده‌ايد بگويد که جنس اين زيورآلات استيل است و به همين دليل از کيفيت بالايي برخوردار است. استيل يک فلز با کيفيت و مقاوم است که در کنار اين دو خاصيت فوق‌العاده، درخشندگي بالايي نيز دارد. در کنار هم قرارگرفتن اين خواص به خودي خود مي‌تواند دليل استفاده از استيل در بدليجات باشد اما اين همه ماجرا نيست و اين فلز کاربردي خواص مهم ديگري نيز دارد. به طور مثال استيل از آن دسته فلزات است که کمترين حساسيت پوستي در اثر تماس آن با بدن انسان ايجاد مي‌شود.بدليجات تيتانيوم پس از استيل تيتانيوم يکي ديگر از فلزاتي است که براي ساخت بدليجات کاربرد بالايي دارد. تيتانيوم نيز مانند استيل خواص فوق‌العاده خوبي دارد. به طور مثال تيتانيوم يکي از درخشنده‌ترين فلزات است که در ظاهر شباهت بسيار زيادي به طلاي سفيد دارد و اگر شما از آن استفاده کنيد شايد کمتر کسي متوجه تفاوت اين دو بشود. محصولات متعددي با استفاده از تيتانيوم توليد مي‌شوند که به دليل تنوع بالايي که دارند بدليجات زوديکا مي‌توانند يکي از انتخاب‌هاي مناسب براي زيورآلات باشند اما نسبت به استيل يک تفاوت بزرگ در تيتانيوم ديده مي‌شود و آن هم اين است که استفاده از اين فلز در زيورآلات و بدليجات ممکن است براي بعضي از پوست‌ها حساسيت ايجاد کند و همين موضوع باعث مي‌شود تا قابليت همه‌گيري تيتانيوم کاهش پيدا کند.بدليجات از جنس برنج برنج يکي از فلزاتي است که از قديم‌الايام در تهيه ظروف از آن استفاده مي‌شده و يکي از بهترين گزينه‌ها براي تهيه بدليجات است. برنج فلزي است که قابليت انعطاف‌پذيري بالايي دارد و به همين دليل مي‌توان در اندازه‌ها و اشکال مختلف از آن بدليجات تهيه نمود. اين فلز همچنين درخشندگي فوق‌العاده خوبي دارد و اگر از آن به خوبي مراقبت شود مي‌تواند تا سال‌ها درخشندگي خودش را حفظ نموده و ظاهر خود را مانند روز اول به همان زيبايي حفظ کند. تنها موردي که اين فلز را نسبت به استيل متمايز مي‌کند اين است که در مقياس کمتر نسبت به تيتانيوم مي‌تواند باعث ايجاد حساسيت‌هاي پوستي براي برخي افراد شود.اگر بخواهيم به يک جمع‌بندي در مورد جنس فلزي که در بدليجات استفاده مي‌شود برسيم بايد بگوئيم، استيل از ميان تمام فلزاتي که براي ساخت و تهيه زيورآلات استفاده مي‌شود، بهترين کارايي و بالاترين درخشندگي را دارد و حساسيتي هم براي استفاده کننده ايجاد نمي‌کند.
