The Strawberry and Banana scalloped beanie is heaped high with fun textures that make this a unique offering to the collection of ice-cream sundae or cupcake patterns available. While I chose pink and yellow for this pattern, feel free to make a chocolate and mint hat, or a pumpkin and vanilla hat, really, the flavors–err, colors are limitless, and totally up to you.
This continues my stash-busting patterns for the NICU series. Supporting a good cause and using up the last little pieces of a skein that’s been sitting around for months–now those are two things to get excited about!
Grab your hook, and some leftover yarn and lets get started!
Easy/Intermediate
4mm (G) hook (or hook needed to obtain measurements)
A small amount of worsted weight pink, and yellow yarn, and an even smaller
amount of red, and white yarn, or 4 colors of your choice. Pictured is Red Heart Super Saver, White, Baby Pink, Lemon, and Hot Red.
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Scissors
Measurements:
Finished hat should measure, unstretched, about 7″ wide at widest part, and 4 3/4″ long (not including cherry and whipped cream).
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
psc = picot single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
hdc = half double crochet
FPdc = front post double crochet
FPhdc = front post half double crochet
Picot Single Crochet (also known as the Granule Stitch):
Insert hook, yo, pull up a loop, *yo, draw through 1 loop* 3 times to make a ch
3, then yo, and draw through both loops on the hook.
Stitching in the “3rd loop” of hdc. Look behind the stitch to find the “3rd loop” and work all stitches for that round in that 3rd loop.

one space depending on where your picot is falling.

Round 5: ch 1, working in back loops only, skip first stitch, [sc, ch 2, hdc in sc] in each stitch around. Once you get to the stitch you skipped, work [sc, ch 2, hdc in sc] in it. This should offset the bumps in the top row of whipped cream. Join with sl st to ch 1. Leave a 12″ tail for sewing the cherry, and whipped cream to the top of the hat.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

The Strawberry and Banana scalloped beanie pattern was made to be used by individuals, and small business crocheters alike. Selling your finished pieces in boutiques, at farmer’s markets, craft shows and other events is encouraged! The only thing I require is that it not be used commercially to produce millions of copies.
That’s so adorable can’t wait to make some of these baby hats! Just love them. Thank you so much for sharing.
You’re very welcome! 🙂
My daughter is pregnant . If we find out that she is having a girl, could you make this for her baby? I would but I broke my wrist . If you say yes, what would it cost?
I’m sorry you broke your wrist! I hope it heals soon!
Unfortunately I don’t sell finished items, however there are plenty of crocheters on Etsy that will take requests like this. 🙂 Anyone is free to make, and sell hats from this pattern.
Thank you so much, for the cute baby hats. I never had any children but everyone around me are having twins(2 sets) and triple (1 set), all coming in the new year.
You’re welcome! It sounds like you will be surrounded by a bunch of wonderful baby sweetness very soon. I hope their families enjoy the hats you make!
