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.

    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.

    Great Hat!!

    I am going to use this pattern over and over for every season.
    I already see santa hats, candy corn hats, St. Patricks day hats.

    Thanks

    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?

  18. August 3, 2009 at 6:28 pm Phyllis in Sonoma says:

    I just heard Alana’s podcst Never Not Knitting talking about your watermelon hat and your green tennis ball frog. That does it, I’m going to have to buy ALL of your books!!! When’s the toy book coming out?

    Cheers and off to SockSummit in 3 days!!!!

    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 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.

  23. June 25, 2010 at 1:19 pm Hayley says:

    I just made this hat and am having a hard time making the seeds…any pointers?

    • June 25, 2010 at 1:42 pm sanderson says:

      stitch a little triangle and take another stitch in the center to fill it in.

  24. June 25, 2010 at 2:30 pm Hayley says:

    I don’t understand what you mean by 3 straight stitches…new to the knitting/sewing world.

    • June 25, 2010 at 2:40 pm sanderson says:

      straight stitches are just that, a little stitch taken by coming up in one spot and going in another to make a straight line with the contrasting yarn. take 3 straight stitches to make a triangle and then take one more stitch to fill in the middle.

      sometimes it just takes a little practice:)

    You are a Sweetheart for sharing these patterns – THANK YOU! Will have fun making Christmas presents!!

    Thanks so much for this. DITTO that there is a little girl baby who will be getting this soon. Thanks again.BER

  27. June 29, 2011 at 8:14 pm Jaclyn says:

    Are the seeds all made out of one length of yarn connected or are they individually started and stopped?

    • June 29, 2011 at 10:17 pm sanderson says:

      I individually made the seeds so you wouldn’t see the black yarn through the pink.
