Little brimmed hat and diaper cover FREE PATTERN

So this is my latest addiction. These work up so fast and are so easy to make. And they are ADORABLE. I can't wait to get a picture from the client I made them for with brand spankin' new little babies wearing them! The cap pattern is a very basic beanie pattern with a brim added. The diaper cover is from cbraden7.blogspot.com and I will post a link to her pattern. This set would rate super easy on the skill level chart, so give it a try! I'm going to do a set of matching booties next, but I really can't decide on a color. Oh well, I'll have to try multiple colors!

SO here it goes:

H hook
worsted weight yarn
this pattern will fit a newborn baby

  4. Good catch roxielhinoh! Yes, each row should increase by 12 stitches. so row 1 (120 row 2 (24) row 3(36) and so on, I will fix the pattern soon!

  5. Couple of things confuse me on this pattern. On the hat row 5 the part that says {2 dc in next st. 1 dc in next st. 1 dc in next st.}Would this be the same as 2 dc in the next st. 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc? Also after making the strap what is the ch3 for? Then it says attach at foundation row. Foundation row of hat? of strap? Can anyone explain these to me? Maybe I am just reading this all wrong. The pattern is so cute I just want to do it correctly.

  6. For row 5, you say it's ch 2, which counts as dc, then 1 dc, then 2dc, 1dc, 1dc... is that correct? 2-1-2-1-1 or shouldn't it be 2-1-1-2-1-1?
    I'm pretty much a newbie at crocheting, only for about 1 1/2 months, but caught on quick. Not sure if I'm catching onto errors in patterns or just assuming because some other patterns have similar repetitions. Sorry if I'm wrong, like I said, still learning =)
