    "Winter Poms" 18" Crochet Doll Hat - Free Crochet Pattern

    Oct 12, 2015 by Jennifer Renaud

    "Winter Poms" 18" Doll HatFree Crochet Pattern - Winter Poms 18" Crochet Doll Hat by A Crocheted Simplicity #crochetdollhat #freecrochetpattern #crochet

    This cute winter hat was designed for my daughter’s dolls. She had asked for a snowsuit for them for Christmas and needed a hat to coordinate. So what did this crafty momma do? I designed one of course! 🙂 The hat was designed to fit her 18" American Girl doll, but will fit several smaller dolls as well.

    >Pin-it to save it for later!<

      Could you please explain directions in row 9, previous row has 16 stitches, where do the extra stitches come from to have 20 stitches in row nine?

        I apologize for the typo. The stitch count at the end of Row 8 is 20 sts. It is now correct. Thank you for pointing that out!

      This is an amazing pattern! I have never crocheted a hat like this. Love the finished product. Would love a pattern for bigger heads! My kids would love a hat like this.
