Stitches

Would like to crochet a princess hat. Any idea how?

I saw a princess hat being made on the show Knitty Gritty, I loved it so much but the thing is, that it was knitted. I'm a fast learning crochet rockie and would like try to crochet a princess hat for my toddler. Please help. Thanks.

1. I'm not sure what the Princess hat you want to make looks like but here are some links to patterns for hats that are called 'princess' - hope that one of them is similar to what you want: http://www.headhuggers.org/patterns/childpatt04.htm http://www.materialwhirled.com/princessannelise.htm http://onesmallthing.blogspot.com/2006/06/princess-sarina-tiara-beanie.html http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/hats_children.php Best wishes
2. i looked up the pattern, and it seems like it would convert well to crochet. The key is to match the gauge. you need to use a yarn that will felt well, and yes, crochet can be felted. below are a few links on how to convert knit to crochet. basically, you need to buy the yarn, crochet a swatch to get the gauge, and then calculate the number of stitches you need to match the size of the finished pattern.for this hat I would recommend single crochet, as it is stiffer than double crochet, and thus will hold the shape better. Happy crocheting!
