Kids’ Crochet Robot Hat

February 1, 2020 by Bethany Dearden

Happy winter, ya’ll! I’m Bethany, the blogger and crocheter behind Whistle and Ivy. My son has been making some serious crochet requests lately. Some of them are so fantastical it might take me all winter to figure them out (a crochet rocket playhouse, for instance). One of them I could oblige, however, and it’s this adorable Kids’ Crochet Robot Hat.

FREE Crochet Pattern: Kids Crochet Robot Hat | Beep! Beep! Boop! This adorable robot-themed hat is perfect for keeping your kids warm the winter.

Assembly:

Attach the mouth just above the 1st orange row, so the bottom of the blue dcs peeks through. Sew it in place using the tail.
Attach the eyes to the eye screens. You can sew them in place using the tails, or you can simply hot glue them in place. Be sure to put the glue all around the edge so they don’t curl up with use.
Attach the eye and eye screen about half a stitch above the mouth, sewing it place with the tail.

Make a pom-pom for the top and attach it with THIS tutorial.

Who am I kidding? I probably won’t be able to finish a crochet playhouse even if I had the entire winter undisturbed. At least The Boy has a new hat!
