A few people have asked me to share the pattern that I used for the R2D2 hat.
I didn't write anything down as I was crocheting, so this is only my best guesstimate based on going back over the hat and counting stitches.
Also...I've never written a pattern before, so I pray that this all makes sense.
I've tried to take a few photos to explain when words fail me.
This hat fits a average 10 year old boy. You can adjust as needed to fit larger heads.

R2D2 Hat
For this hat I used 2 strands of Red Heart acrylic yarn (worked together) and a size J crochet hook. Colors of yarn needed Light Gray, Blue, Black , Red
GRAY | Ch 4, join with sl st to form a ring, Ch 2 |
9 DC in the ring, sl st to join, Ch 2 | |
2 DC in each st around (join) - switch to blue | |
BLUE | 2 DC in each st around ( join), switch to gray |
GRAY | 2 DC in the first st, DC in the next 3 st, repeat and join |
2 DC in the first st, DC in the next 4 st, repeat and join switch to blue | |
BLUE | 2 DC in the first stitch, DC in the next 5 st, repeat and join |
2 DC in the first st, then 1 DC in each st around - join | |
2 SC in the first st, then SC in each st around, join, switch to gray, ch 2 | |
GRAY | DC in each st around ( join) |
DC in each st around ( join) | |
DC in each st around ( join) | |
DC in each st around ( join) | |
BLUE | DC in each st around ( join) |

Front panel: 13 HDC, turn HDC in 2nd st from end, 12 HDC across, ch 1, turn
(repeat 3x) Sew into place using blue yarn.
Red and blue spots: Use a single strand of yarn and a smaller hook
Ch 4, join w/ sl st, Ch 2
6 DC in the ring, join, Ch 2
2 DC in each st around
(red spot stop here...black spot continue with one more row)
1 DC in each st around, join, fasten off and sew into place with red or black yarn
To divide the blue rows into sections, join a single strand of gray yarn to the row below.
Chain 6,
pull top loop of chain through to the inside of the hat and fasten off.
To finish - weave in all ends.
And that's it. :-)
This hat fits a average 10 year old boy. You can adjust as needed to fit larger heads.
I have been asked for the pattern for my minion slippers. Unfortunately - I didn't take very good notes as I was making them, so I apologize if this pattern needs a bit of 'adjusting.'
(Also - I ask that you please do not use this pattern for profit. )

ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what the gauge is? Thank you for that and the pattern.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I really don't know how to measure gauge....There are 4 stitches per inch...does that help? (Sorry!)
ReplyDeleteThe gauge is on the freaking needle................ In your pictures its 4.25mm
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting! My 4 1/2 year old son wants and R2D2 hat after he saw one in a knitting book, but I don't knit. This will be made soon. Can I blog about the project, so long as I link back to this page? Thanks!
