Crochet hat for Barbie doll - tutorial pattern for beginners

For making this hat You will need 2 mm crochet hook and yarn that matches this size hook. I used 4ply mercerized cotton yarn. If You use different size hook or yarn result may differ from original (be bigger or smaller).
Used stitches:
ss - slip stitch
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
ch - chain

In rounds 1 - 9 I used back loop crocheting (insert hook under back loop).


O.K. Let's start!

Step 1 

Step 1 - make chain.

Chain 5.










 Step 2
Step 2 - form a ring.
 
Join with slip stitch (ss) to form a ring.










Step 3 - round 1
Step 3 - round 1
10 x single crochet (sc) in the ring; slip stitch (ss) in 2nd chain from the hook.

Step 4 - Round 2
Step 4 - round 2
Chain one; [2 x single crochet in next chain, 1 x single crochet in next chain]; repeat [..] 4 more times; 1 x single crochet in next chain; slip stitch in next chain.  
Step 5 - round 3
Step 5 - round 3
2 x single crochet in next chain; 1 x single crochet in next chain]; repeat [..] 7 more times; slip stitch in next chain.

Step 6 - rounds 4 - 7

Round 4
1 x single crochet in each chain (24 times); ss in next chain from the hook.
Round 5
1 x sc in each chain (24 times); ss in next chain from the hook.
Round 6
1 x sc in each chain (24 times); ss in next chain from the hook.
Round 7
1 x sc in each chain (24 times); ss in next chain from the hook.

As You can see - all 4 rounds are the same.
You now have 2 choices
Leave the hat as is or continue
- turn to the other side.
You can either leave the hat as is (looks already nice, doesn't it?) or continue.
If You decide to continue, turn hat to the other side.

Step 7 - round 8 

Step 7 - round 8
2 x single crochet (sc) in each chain.
Step 8 - round 9

In this round we will start to use double crochet (dc).
[2 double crochet in same chain; 6 x double crochet]; repeat [..] 5 more times; 2 x double crochet in same chain; 4 x double crochet; slip stitch in 2nd chain from hook.

Step 9 - round 10

Round 10 - finished hat.
1 x single crochet in each chain; slip stitch in next chain. Fasten off.
Congratulations! You have this cute Barbie doll hat. Now You can embellish it with some ribbon or flower... or just leave as is because it looks so cute :)

  2. What US letter is a 2mm hook? I'm having a hard time finding one.

    1. Well, it's a good question. You could try B/1 (according to different conversion charts I could find on Google, it's 2mm or 2,25mm, but it should be fine as difference is very small).
      I took this information from here:
