This was such an easy pattern since it is just a basic beanie with some ears. Here is the basic pattern:
I used bernat super saver worsted weight yarn for all of it.
H hook
needle for sewing on ears.
Pattern fits newborn- 3 month.
Hat
using black, start by forming a magic ring
1. ch 2. 11 dc in ring. join to top of ch 2 (12 sts)
2.ch2. dc in same dc as ch 2. 2dc in each dc (24 st) join every round unless otherwise noted
3.ch 2 dc in same dc as ch 2. (2dc in next dc, dc in next dc) around (36 sts)
4.ch2, dc in same dc as ch 2 (2dc in next st, dc in next two sts) around (48 sts)
5. ch 2. dc in same st, dc all the way around. (48 sts each row) Continue in pattern until 6 rows of dc are done, OR until a hat height of 5.5" - 6" is achieved.
break off yarn using invisible knot.
Earflap: (make 2)
start by attaching black yarn to hat, ch2 (counts as first stitch)
(I fold the hat in half so that the front is showing. I then count in 5 sts from each side and place a stitch marker. This is where I start my earflaps and I work toward the back of the hat where the joining "seam" is.)
1.dc 10, ch 2 turn
2.dc2tog, dc in next 7 st dc2tog ch 2 turn
3.dc2tog, dc in next 5 st, dc2 tog ch 2 turn
4.dc2tog, dc in nex 3 st, dc2tog ch 2 turn
5.dc2tog, dc in nex st, dc2tog ch 2 turn
6.dc2tog twice. break off yarn.
Edging:
with OUTSIDE of hat facing you, attach yarn to back of hat and ch 1. sc in each st around, working sc evenly over sides of earflaps. fasten off, tie in all loose ends.
Ears
You are going to make 2 of these, it is a basic circle.
using black, start by forming a magic ring.
1. ch 1, 6 sc in magic ring. DO NOT JOIN here, or anywhere unless specifically noted.
2. continuing working in the round, 2 sc in previous 6 sc. (12sc)
3. continuing in rounds, *2sc in next sc, sc in next st* 6 times. (18 sc)
4. continuing in rounds, *2sc in next sc, sc in each of the next 2 sts* 6 times. (24 sc)
5. continuing in rounds, *2sc in next sc, sc in each of the next three sts* 6 times. (30 sc)
6. continuing in rounds, *2sc in next sc, sc in each of the next 4 sts* 6 times. (36 sc)
7. continuing in rounds, *2sc in next sc, sc in each of the next 5 sts* 6 times. (42 sc)
note** you are going to continue to do the same thing we just did, but with decreasing this time. This makes the circle ear two layers thick, and they stand up much better this way.
8. continuing in rounds, *sc2tog, sc in each of the next 5 sts* 6 times (36 sts)
9. continuing in rounds, *sc2tog, sc in each of the next 4 sts* 6 times (30 sts)
10. continuing in rounds, *sc2tog, sc in each of the next 3 sts* 6 times (24 sts)
11. continuing in rounds, *sc2tog, sc in each of the next 2 sts* 6 times (18 sts)
12. continuing in rounds, *sc2tog, sc in each of the next 1 st* 6 times (12 sts)
13. continuing in rounds, *sc2tog* 6 times (6 sts)
leave a long tail, fasten off and break yarn. With a needle, make sure hole is closed. flatten to make a nice round circle. I also weave the needle back and forth a few times attaching the two layers of the ear so that it doesn't puff out to make a 'ball'. You want nice, flat circles.
Sew the two ears evenly onto hat, pinning in place first to make sure of the placement.
Using Red yarn, I found a bow pattern here.
Shoes
I just used my Pretty and plain mary jane pattern, but used all red. I added white bows, but you could add polka dots or anything you want. The sky is the limit!
I used the diaper cover pattern from the Little brimmed hat and diaper cover pattern on my blog. i used white.
for the skirt overlay:
Minnie Skirt: Materials: Red Worsted Weight Yarn
Size H Crochet Hook White buttons
Abbreviations: HDC= Half Double Crochet
Chain 55, HDC in second chain from hook and all the way across, chain 1, turn (54 HDC) If this is WAY longer than your diaper covers waist line then I would adjust now. Stitch count doesn't really matter that much.
Row 2: 2 HDC in first stitch, HDC in next, *2 HDC, HDC, *continue for the rest of row, chain 1, turn
Row 3-7: HDC across, chain 1, turn.
Row 8: add a scalloped edge. *skip first 2 stitches, 5 double crochets into next stitch, skip next 2
stitches, single crochet into next stitch, repeat from * to end and finish off.
I crocheted little white polka dots by starting with a magic ring and hdc9 in each. You can decide if you like them bigger or smaller. I then sewed them on. I then sewed the skirt onto the diaper cover. This
takes a bit of adjusting to get it just right so that there is a bit of cross-over in the front.
For the tail all I did was sc a line, then sc back on it. sew it on. Voila!

There you have it. I hope you have fun making it. The sky is the limit to how you can do this. Check out the below photos to see more ideas. These are all the Mickey and Minnie inspired hats that I have made. Happy Crocheting!

Adorable !! Thanks so much for the pattern :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I have a question...is your skirt a wrap like your inspiration? If not does it still button to close?
ReplyDeleteHi Tara, the skirt buttons closed on the diaper cover. Hope that answers the question~
ReplyDeleteWhere is the pattern for your ruffle skirt part? I can't find it.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, sorry I haven't posted the skirt pattern yet. I just went to this link and kind of made it up as I went. I will try to make another and write it down this time. Hope this helps in the mean time :)

Hello Kristi! Your patterns are Adorable and I sooo appreciate that you share them with all your viewers/followers! I love your simple profile here! I am also a crafter for far too many years than I care to admit here, and my hubby is like your own, in the fact that he has been known to come to the door of my crafting space, peer in making sure I am still alive and kickin' then simply turn and walk away.:) He is my saint of 44+ yrs and counting! Thank you so much for sharing and I can't wait to try this pattern out.
DeleteThank you for the pattern. It is very understandable and easy. My little one is due in 6 weeks, it is her first costume and I can't wait to see her in it :-)
DeleteThank you so much for this pattern..it's wonderful
DeleteWhat size is this for?
ReplyDeleteit is for newborn
Deletethank you for asking that, now I don't have to
DeleteThese are adorable, I was wondering if you have the pattern for the matching Mickey and Minnie hats? Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteHi, This is too cute! Quick question, on the ears, what does "*2c in next sc, sc in next st* 6 times" mean? I've never seen just a "c", is it supposed to be a ch or sc? I'm fairly new to crocheting :) Also, did you ever write out a pattern for the ruffle skirt?
ReplyDelete2 single crochets in the first stitch, then 1 single crochet in the next 6 stitches, so 8 total over 7 stitches :)
Deletethat does not work you need to have 18 sc at the end of that row and doing it the way you are saying only gives you 16 sc
DeleteWhat size child will this pattern fit?
ReplyDeleteSorry I finally found the answer in an earlier post. Looking for toddler patterns.
DeleteThanks a lot have you been able to write the bottom pattern yet?
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern! Would love to have the skirt pattern. My niece is having a baby girl soon and would love to make it for her. Thanks for any help you can give me.
ReplyDeletebonjour un grand merci pour tout ces modèles et en particulier celui la Je le cherche depuis longtemps .Si ce n'est pas trop vous demender avez vous les explications pour la jupe SVP ? Encore MERCI et bonne journée
ReplyDeleteAny chance you have this pattern (hat, diaper cover with skirt and booties) in a knitting pattern? I'm very new to knitting so trying to transfer a crochet pattern to a knitting pattern is way above my level.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi Nicole, sorry I don't have it in knit. I don't even know how to knit, but its on my bucket list. One day if I do, perhaps I will convert all the patterns, but that day is far, far away ;). Thanks for popping in on the blog :)
DeleteOn the skirt pic it looks like you have done more than 8 rows so I'm confuse....help lol
DeleteYou have the pattern for the skirt yet?
ReplyDeleteOn the skirt pic it looks like you have done more than 8 rows so I'm confuse....help lol
ReplyDeletedo you have any pics of the front view of the skirt also not sure why but some of the pictures are not showing up help thanks I love the pattern thank you so much for posting you are a very talented lady
ReplyDeleteSomeone is using your picture of this and at least one other item on etsy - here is the link https://www.etsy.com/listing/201864389/0-3-months-baby-girl-newborn-crocheted?ref=shop_home_active_12
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what you mean by 2c in next sc, sc in next st* 6 times. (18 sc) how can you chain IN a single crochet???? is it chain 2 then single crochet in next stitch PLZ help I have tried this many times and can not figure it out and I need this outfit for a photo shoot.
ReplyDelete2 single crochet in next stitch, (of the previous row). Hope that helps.
Deletei was wondering if you have the pattern for the minnie mouse hat that the little girl has on at the bottom of the post?
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley, the hat pattern would be the same, just with a color change. If you are looking for a larger size, try the owl hat pattern on this site. It is for a slightly bigger size. The ears are the same. TO make the polka dots I just started with a magic ring and 9 hdc in magic ring. Then I sewed them on. Hope that helps.
DeleteThis was such an easy pattern since it is just a basic beanie with ... tmickeymouse.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI am trying to print this Minnie Mouse pattern, but it wont print. Can you help me?
ReplyDeleteI have no experience trying to print these patterns. Anybody else? Sorry Debbie, hope you get it figured out. I'm good with a crochet hook, not so much with computer stuff.
DeleteIt's been a year since this post, and hopefully you have found a way to print it by now, but if not, it's very simple. Just select all, copy it, and open up a word document and paste it. Then you can save it and print it.
DeleteThanks so much for making this pattern a gift! I have no problem with people selling patterns but some of us are on a limited budget and free is in everyones budget!
ReplyDeleteIs this pattern available for 6-9 months?
ReplyDeleteHi Tawny, I don't have it written for 6-9 month but the owl hat pattern (link at the top of the page) is written for approx that size You could just do a solid color and not do the eyes and ears etc. Check out the hat sizing chart link at the top of the page as well for some helpful tips on how to size any hat.
DeleteThis is part of Row 2, on skirt pattern *2 HDC,HDC, * and I don't understand 2 HDC ? do you mean in same space?
ReplyDeleteThat's usually what the means when it's wrote 2hdc it means you do two half double crochets in one stitch.
Deletehave you got the mouse pattern as knitted as i cant crochet plz
ReplyDeleteIs there a crochet pattern for the minnie mouse hat with strings for a 3 and 1 year old
ReplyDeleteHow do you get the ears to stay up
ReplyDeleteAwww! How cute thank you for posting this adorable pattern :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I just want to let people know that if you are being brought to this website from a link on pinterest, attached to MY picture that has been stolen by someone, this is not the pattern for MY outfit. This is my photo that has been used thousands of times on pinterest leading here. I do not have a written pattern for my original design and would love for people to stop using my images to link to this pattern here. While the pattern is somewhat similar, it is not the same! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AevSZecflKSF-B4BvgZrcjiCjoqou6Tq-ZODdFJ-Twsv4yw02tbSGHk/
ReplyDeleteThese are all MY original photos. I have nothing to do with what other people pin.
DeleteI understand that the photos in your post are yours. I'm just letting the thousands of people that have repinned this blog with my photo know that this is not the pattern for my outfit.
Deletewhere is the pattern for the hat without the ear flap
ReplyDeleteIs this pattern in US terms?
ReplyDeleteDid u use the newborn diaper cover with this skirt pattern? The diaper cover this links to starts with ch 45 while the skirt starts with ch 55 so i am concerned about the size difference
ReplyDeleteI'm confused with the second part of the ear. Please explain .
ReplyDeleteDo you have a guage size for this pattern? While you list the crochet hook size, many people have different tensions while crocheting, therefore they need to adjust their hook size in order to make any pattern properly, especially when it comes to clothing.
ReplyDeleteTara,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern. I adapted it a bit so that the skirt could be added as part of the diaper cover without having to add it separately. It turned out great! Thanks again
So adorable! Thank you for sharing this awesome pattern!!
ReplyDeleteHow many balls of yarn has people used please
ReplyDeleteI need some clarification on the skirt. Would like to see a picture of the front of it. Not sure how to put it together with the diaper cover. Thanks for the help.
