I love this little moo cow crochet hat 🙂 I think it is actually my new favorite! I made this one very gender neutral but I plan on making another one with a pink snout, ears, and a little crochet bow for my baby girl. You could really customize this cow hat just by using different colors of yarn.

Thanks for sharing the pattern. Fab hat!
Your patterns are just so cute, thanks for sharing them with us.
Thank you
THANK YOU for introducing me to THE MAGIC RING!! Have been struggling to read patterns (am new to crochet) until I tried your piggy and cow patterns … so simple to follow. Thanks xx
Lovely….love the cow more than the piggy one.Very nice…cute.Thanks for always sharing ! 🙂
Happy Sunday !
When you join to the DC do you start the next row in the same stitch that you join in?
ohhh it is fantastic, I like it. Thank you
Thank you so much for the cute hat pattern! I've made it all the way to the snout and I am having difficulty getting it to work with the stitch counts as written. Is there supposed to be 2 sc in both ends of the rows? Thanks so much! 🙂
Summerysmile, i think the pattern reads 2sc, 1 in next and then repeat to end. if you just did 2sc in the first and last stitch you would only have 8 sc. so row two would be 2sc in first stitch and then 1sc in next two, repeat that pattern to end of row. I hope I explained it right. I was having the same thought you did.

Im making one for my nephew and one for my niece right now for a christmas gift and i LOVE this hat pattern, great job! Ill be posting pics of them soon on my facebook page (Creative crochet made by Heather), im so excited to see my finished hat 🙂 thanks
Thank you so much for the patterns!!! I can not read a pattern at all but I can understand yours without problem so far!!! Again thanks so much!!!!
Can anyone help me? Do I need to ch2 after magic ring before i begin 11 DC in magic ring? 🙁 I'm new to Crochet and i found out that some pattern has ch2 after magic ring, and some don't…
Ivy; After closing the ring with a slip stitch you will chain 2, same with every round. Unless the pattern states that the ch2 counts as a stitch, I don't count it in my round.
And I LOVED this pattern. Super easy to follow and my hat came out cute as heck!
Thank you so much for all of your patterns, I love them all and I've made a couple, I just finished this one up last night, I modified it a bit to make it a sleepy cow, you can see it here http://theblog.kelly-renee.com/2014/02/sleepy-cow-crochet-hat.html. Thanks again!
Thank you for posting such a cute and easy pattern!! I had to make two with very short notice and got them done with time to spare finished 2 in under 48hrs 🙂

I have made 2 fox hats, I’m starting a cow and will probably be making the frog. Your patterns are well written. I appreciate the patterns written in ALL sizes. That’s quite generous and amazing that you are sharing for free. I appreciate your generosity.
I LOVE YOUR PATTERNS AND YOUR FOMAT

I love this pattern. It works up quickly and you can construct the fave any way you choose.
Fun pattern to make! Start to finish was approx 5 hours of working on it. Ready to deliver to my friend for her baby girl. Thank you for another great pattern!
Hi there..I wanted to start by saying I love your Patterns..I am having some issues and I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I crochet the toddler cow hat using worsted weight and a 5mm hook. The Circumference of the hat I made is between 20 and 21 inches..does this seem too big for a toddler? I do crochet a little on the looser side and it seems every pattern I try the circumference doesn’t seem to work out right.. any ideas of what I could be doing wrong? Or am I doing this wrong .. thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am new to crochet. I have only made a flat DC blanket and scarf. This is my first hat. My question is I’ve only done the first couple of rows, but it looks wavy. Is this normal? Am I doing it too tight? Ive watched videos to make sure I was doing it correct, and I think I’m stitching it right. In each stitch I crochet 2DC then move on to the next (adult/teen size). Just want to double check before I finish. Thanks!
I love all your patterns and want to thank you very much for giving them to us for free. You are very generous. I have made so many of the hats
Do you have a video of you making this hat? I learn much better by watching someone.
I am probably reading to quickly, but I can’t find a gauge so I can do a swatch. Really cute hat!
Thank you for a great pattern!
I’m a beginner crocheter and this was my first time crocheting from a written pattern and it turned out perfect! Thanks for sharing this beautiful pattern!!!
