Watermelon Hat - Free Pattern!

watermel2

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

I am excited to offer you this sweet juicy little project! When I saw the Spud & Chloë Sweater yarn in the Watermelon #7512 colorway I fell in love with the color. This hat is the perfect project to show off an obvious use of the Watermelon yarn.

The sizes included in the pattern are newborn up to a small child.

I hope you enjoy this simple and quick knit.

        Zoe’s a fab name, my granddaughter, Zoe, is, well, really a Zoe (’nough said, lol). Except that her name has two little dots over the E. Hmmm, maybe Zoe needs a Watermelon hat…..

    I recently discovered a fabulous free pattern on Ravelry called Pokie’s Pinwheel Blanket (www.ravelry.com/projects/tantesophie/pokeys-pinwheel-blankie) from Tante Sophie Avait Un Chien. I’m making it up in Toast & Popcorn for a new niece coming in January. The yarn is absolutely lovely and the pattern totally cute with several ways of finishing the edge! A link from your blog to all the new and future free patterns with Spud & Chloe would be great!

    I made this one in just a few hours. I’ve decided to make a set of 3 for a friend having a girl this fall. The upside down daisy, the watermelon and the sweet pea hats. Maybe, if I have extra, a pink and green “girly” version of the ribbit frog you posted earlier this week. :)

    I made the watermelon hat. I just love Sweater. It is so spongy, and the watermelon color is great. I think I may need to do a few more of this pattern. So quick and cute. I made my seeds with a lazy-daisy filled in embroidery stitch and it was so quick.
    Thanks for another great pattern.

    Darling hat!!! I am making mine with red instead of pink yarn. I’m having a new grandson in a few weeks. Would you let a boy wear it, or wait for a baby girl?

      Hi Gwen,
      I think a red watermelon hat on a baby boy would be fine. I would have let my boys wear it, no problem!!

      Congratulations.

    I LOVE this hat pattern. I’m a beginner knitter who has been obsessed with baby hats (too scared to venture beyond that!!), and this pattern is wonderful. Just one question: how did you make your seeds? I didn’t get it from the instructions in the pattern, and mine don’t look as “clean” as yours. Thanks again!

      I made 3 straight stitches to form a small triangle and then I filled in the middle with one more small stitch.

      Have fun!

    I absolutley loved this pattern and made my very own watermelon hat! It was my very first attempt to a knitted hat and I could not be more proud of it! I’m hooked on Spud & Chloe yarn!! Thanks for the free patterns.

    I’ve just found the perfect winter project to whip up & donate to a newborn at our local children’s hospital this next summer. In fact…I’ve been inspired to take it 2 steps further by making a matching pair of watermlon booties &
    a wedge shaped blanket.
