CLEVER HAT PATTERN.......... ITHAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE PATTERN I POSTED HAS HAD 55cm pencilled on pattern. This must have been added by someone adjusting for an adult. PLEASE IGNORE THE 55 cm......the hat is perfect size for child when knitted to 40 cm as per pattern instruction.....( photo of my 5 yo grandson modelling one in "Celestial Sensarions). Sorry I didn't pick up the pattern glitch before uploading to this page
I'm sure one of our crotcheters would be able to adapt this to a crotchet pattern for KAS its really just a case og getting the dimensions correct and crotcheting diagonally ( something I have yet to attempt

Thanks, Christine, for posting this pattern! So simple and so cute!
It looks like it would fit well and I like that it is not too long. Here in Canada, we call these toques. Often they are made longer so a 'cuff'' can be folded back. Sometimes when I look at the distribution photos, I cringe a bit when I see the kids in toques that are meant to have the fold-back, but are just plopped on their heads with a great gob of empty hat sticking way up from the top of their heads. Hopefully, after the chaos of the day, someone figures out that the hat would fit better if folded back into a cuff.
I like this hat, with its shorter length, because it solves the problem of too-big beanies.
You could make it any length, couldn't you. The one above is in a self-striping yarn but if more experienced knitters want to play with the pattern it's very easy to do so. I was just trying to avoid using any shaping so if a beginner could make a square they could move on and make a hat.

move up 1 bead to hook, ch1, skip next sc* repeat
around to last bead of round. On last bead of round omit the chain 1, skip ch 2 and join in first hdc. (30 beads)

Thanks so much for posting this pattern, Gitta. I would love to try the beaded version sometime. No worries about losing beads since they are crocheted right in!
The pattern is so easy and so quick :) Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to go shopping for beads today, but I totally forgot about it :(
