I’m pleased to submit my pattern for the Baby Pumpkin Crochet Beanie! It’s cute, unique, quick to make, and would make a great gift!
I created the Pumpkin Beanie one night when I was inspired to start making new hats geared toward seasons, holidays, and events. I was looking at a photo of my baby daughter wearing a pumpkin hat from the previous year, and thought, “Hey, I could crochet one of those!” So I did!
I learned to crochet just 2 years ago, and quickly started creating my own patterns. Aside from my family and friends, baby hats are my true love! I am a stay-at-home mom of 2 toddlers, an army wife, and a former middle school math teacher. We travel a lot, and are always on the go, so crocheting is something that I can take with me almost anywhere I go!
I want to thank FaveCrafts.com for contacting me!

Happy Crafting,
Danyel Pink

Hello, I do charity crocheting for our hospital and these hats will be perfect for the baby ward at holloween. I make christmas hats and year round hats for the hospital. It is such fun work and the new parents love the hats. Thanks for the new pattern!

What size hook for the Halloween Beanie?
3. June | October 16th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
I do believe this pattern states an
“I” hook right at the beginning of the supply list.

I made this hat for my granddaughter. It was simple to make, and the instructions were easy to follow. It looks adorable, and I can’t wait to see it on her head!!
Thanks for sharing it.

If you like to make baby hats you might be interested in a project our knitting group is doing. We make hats for our local hospital to give to newborns. I’m sure any hospital in your area would appreciate some also

I would also like to know if anyone has increased the size of the hat and what they found to be the best way to go about it. I need to make bigger sizes too

I guess I’m stupid, but I don’t understand the pumpkin beanie instructions. The orange stripes are horizontal, not vertical????? If they are vertical, how/where are u crocheting the green part? If u want the stripes to be vertical, I would use a back post/front post stitch. Help?
11. Gloria | October 9th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
You make the stripes horizontal, then when your rectangle is large enough (24 rows), you slip-stitch it together. That will make the strips run vertically, because you now have a tube, not a rectangle. Then you attach the green at the top to make the stem and the vine.
Fold up the cuff, and you’re done.
