Materials Needed 

• Yarn: 100% cotton DK/light worsted (Category 3)
  • Body color: 20 g (approximately 45–55 m)
  • Hat center color: 3 g (approximately 6–8 m)
  • Petal/brim color: 12 g (approximately 25–30 m)
  • Leaf/accent color: 5 g (approximately 10–12 m)
  • Embroidery details (mouth/blush): small scraps in brown/gray and soft pink
• Hook: 2.75 mm (US C) or 3.0 mm, chosen for firm, gap-free stitches
• Safety eyes: 6 mm (pair) or embroidered eyes for child-safe decor
• Stuffing: polyester fiberfill, about 10–15 g
• Stitch markers: 2–3 for tracking rounds and face alignment
• Tapestry needle: size 16–18 blunt tip
• Scissors
• Pins or clips for positioning
• Optional: 25 mm keychain ring, lobster clasp, or ribbon loop
• Optional: craft glue (for leaves/flowers if you prefer no-sew embellishments), tiny beads (5–6 mm) for accents

Stitches used:

• MR (magic ring), ch (chain), sl st (slip stitch), sc (single crochet), hdc (half double crochet), dc (double crochet), inc (increase = 2 sc in one stitch), dec (invisible decrease recommended), FLO (front loop only), BLO (back loop only)

Gauge:

• Not critical; however, stitches must be tight so stuffing does not peek through. If gaps appear, therefore drop to a smaller hook.

Finished size:

• Approximately 9–10 cm (3.5–4 in) tall using DK cotton and a 2.75–3.0 mm hook.

Skill Level

Beginner/Easy. Although several elements are included (body, hat, petals, leaves, and face), each step progresses gradually with straightforward increases, comfortable rounds, and simple embroidery.

Making Time (Overview)

• Total time: roughly 3–4 hours
  • Body: 1.5–2 hours
  • Flower hat (cap, petals, brim lace): 45–60 minutes
  • Front flower and leaves: 20–25 minutes
  • Face and assembly: 20–30 minutes
  • Final finishing: 5–10 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

Work in a continuous spiral unless noted; use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round. Because consistency matters, count stitches at the end of each round and adjust tension as needed. Meanwhile, stuff gradually so the shape stays smooth.

1. Body (Making time: 1.5–2 hours)

• Purpose and fit: This plump body provides a snug base under the flower hat, creating a balanced silhouette that sits nicely on a desk or shelf.
• Placement notes: Safety eyes will sit later between rounds, as indicated below; therefore, pause after shaping the head to test positions with pins.

Rounds:

• R1: MR, 6 sc into ring (6)
• R2: inc around (12)
• R3: (sc, inc) x6 (18)
• R4: (2 sc, inc) x6 (24)
• R5: (3 sc, inc) x6 (30)
• R6–R9: sc around (30)
  • Tip: For a cute look, plan to place safety eyes between R7 and R8 with 6 stitches between eyes; however, attach them later so adjustments are easier.
• R10: (3 sc, dec) x6 (24)
• R11: (2 sc, dec) x6 (18)
  • Now begin stuffing the head gently; consequently, the shape stays round without gaps.
• R12: (sc, dec) x6 (12)
• R13: inc around (24)
• R14: (3 sc, inc) x6 (30)
• R15: sc around (30)
• R16: (3 sc, dec) x6 (24)
• R17: (2 sc, dec) x6 (18)
  • Add more stuffing until the body feels snug yet springy; avoid overpacking so the stitches do not stretch.
• R18: dec around (9)
• Finish: Fasten off, weave the tail through the front loops of the remaining stitches, cinch closed, and secure. Then, hide the tail inside the body for a clean finish.

Sizing note:

• If a taller body is desired, add one or two extra rounds of sc around after R15. Conversely, remove one round for a tiny, pocket-sized buddy.

2. Flower Hat (cap, petals, and brim lace) (Making time: 45–60 minutes)

• Concept: The hat blends a neat center, soft petals worked into front loops, and a delicate lace edging elements that echo the visual inspiration while staying beginner-friendly.
• Fit target: The hat should sit slightly low on the forehead so petals frame the face, while the brim ridge adds a gentle, polished line.

Hat Center and Base:

• R1: With center color, MR, 6 sc (6)
• R2: inc around (12)
• R3: (sc, inc) x6 (18)
• R4: (2 sc, inc) x6 (24)
• R5: sc around (24)
• R6 (FLO): sc around (24) — keep these front loops accessible for petals later; consequently, petals will stand forward beautifully.
• R7 (both loops): (3 sc, inc) x6 (30)
• R8: sc around (30)
• Between-round texture: After R8, insert the hook between R7 and R8 and work a gentle round of sl st to create a subtle ridge; therefore, the brim line gains definition without adding bulk. Fasten off this sl st round and continue with the hat yarn as usual.
• R9 (BLO): sc around (30) to sharpen the brim fold.
• R10: sl st around loosely and fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing the hat to the head later.

Petals (worked into FLO from R6):

• Join the petal color to any FLO stitch from R6.
• Repeat around: (sl st, ch 2, 2 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st, ch 2, sl st in next st).
• After completing the round, fasten off and weave in ends. Because petal fullness is personal, add or subtract one dc per petal repeat to adjust volume.

Brim Lace (optional, inspired detail):

• With petal color or a light contrast, ch 2, skip 1 st, sl st in the third st; repeat around for a simple lacey edge. Then, fasten off and weave in the end neatly.

Fit test:

• Place the hat on the head. If it sits too high, add one extra increase round before R7. If it feels loose, remove one increase or lightly cinch the inner rim while sewing.

3. Front Flower and Leaves (Making time: 20–25 minutes total)

• Tiny Flower (about 10–12 minutes):
  • With petal color: MR, [sl st, ch 2, dc into ring, ch 2, sl st] x5 to form five petite petals. Tighten the ring and fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
  • Center: With center color, embroider a small knot or satin-stitched circle; consequently, the blossom gains a tidy focal point.
• Leaves (about 4–6 minutes per leaf):
  • With leaf color: ch 5. Working back along the chain, sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next, sc in next, sl st in last. Then, ch 5 again and repeat for a second leaf on the same base if desired, or make separate leaves. Fasten off, leaving tails for sewing.
• Placement:
  • Position the small flower slightly off-center on the hat’s front, tuck one or two leaves behind it, and pin before sewing so the balance looks natural.

4. Face and Assembly (Making time: 20–30 minutes)

• Safety Eyes:
  • Insert 6 mm eyes between R7 and R8 with 5–7 stitches between them. Alternatively, embroider eyes for a baby-friendly option. After confirming symmetry, secure backs firmly.
• Mouth:
  • Using brown or gray, embroider a tiny smile two rounds below the eyes. Because short tacking stitches curve more gently, take two or three small angled stitches for a soft “u.”
• Blush:
  • With pale pink thread or a faint dusting of textile-safe pastel, add warmth to the cheeks; however, keep it subtle so the overall expression remains sweet.
• Attach Hat:
  • Pin the hat in four places (front, back, and both sides). Then, using the long tail, sew around the inner rim with small whip stitches, catching only the outer fabric on the head so stitches disappear. Consequently, the hat feels secure without visible seams.
• Attach Flower and Leaves:
  • Stitch through the back of the flower and leaf bases into the hat fabric. Alternatively, for display-only makes, a tiny dab of craft glue works quickly; nevertheless, sewing remains more durable for gifts or keychains.

Basic Tips for Beginners

• First, read the entire pattern once; understanding the flow (body, hat, petals, details, then face) reduces stress and supports steady progress.
• Next, mark the first stitch of every round. Because spirals can drift without a marker, clear tracking safeguards count and shape.
• Meanwhile, keep tension snug but relaxed. If the fabric feels stiff or your hands feel tight, pause for a quick stretch and resume with a softer grip.
• Then, stuff in small pinches. Since dense clumps cause lumps, light layers create a smooth silhouette that looks polished.
• Finally, test placements with pins before commitment. Therefore, eye spacing, hat tilt, and flower position can be fine-tuned with ease.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping stitch markers:
  • Rounds can shift subtly; consequently, stitch counts wander. Always move the marker up each round.
• Overstuffing:
  • Too much fiberfill forces gaps and distorts the curve. Instead, add small amounts, press gently, and check under bright light for coverage.
• Loose petals:
  • Petals worked loosely may flop unevenly. Therefore, keep dc stitches consistent and weave ends firmly.
• Tight hat seam:
  • Overly tight sewing can pucker the brim. Instead, use relaxed, evenly spaced whip stitches.
• Eye misplacement:
  • Eyes set too high or wide change the expression dramatically. As a guideline, place between R7–R8 with 5–7 stitches between; then adjust by a stitch if needed.

Variations & Customization Ideas

• Color Stories:
  • Daisy Glow: white petals, sunny yellow center, mint leaves
  • Sunflower Charm: gold petals, deep brown center, olive leaves
  • Pastel Meadow: blush petals, cream center, sage leaves
  • Bold Bloom: fuchsia petals, lime center, teal leaves for playful contrast
• Petal Personality:
  • Crisper tips: replace each dc pair with (hdc, ch 1, hdc) for pointed petals.
  • Ruffled volume: add one extra dc per petal repeat for fuller bloom.
• Expressions:
  • Sleepy: embroidered closed eyes with tiny lashes.
  • Kawaii: tiny “u” mouth with rounded blush spots.
• Function:
  • Keychain: anchor a 25 mm ring at the crown with sturdy thread.
  • Gift Topper: add a ribbon loop so the amigurumi crowns any present beautifully.
  • Nursery Decor: skip safety eyes and embroider features for child-safe display.
• Seasonal Themes:
  • Spring Picnic: soft lilac petals, butter center, leaf-green band.
  • Autumn Garden: rust petals, honey center, moss leaves.
  • Winter Frost: icy blue petals, cream center, silver-stitched leaf veins.

Sizing Tips

• Yarn weight:
  • Using worsted (Category 4) with a 3.5 mm hook increases height to about 12–13 cm. Conversely, switching to sport (Category 2) with a 2.25 mm hook scales it down for a tiny charm.
• Hook choice:
  • If holes appear, drop a half-size hook for tighter fabric. If petals feel stiff, move up a half size on petals only for a soft drape.
• Proportions:
  • For larger sizes, add one extra increase round to both the head and hat base; then add one petal repeat to maintain balance.
• Stuffing strategy:
  • Light stuffing gives a plush, squeezable feel, while a firmer fill supports travel as a bag charm.

Finishing for (Crochet Flower Hat Amigurumi)

• Weaving Ends:
  • After sewing the hat and embellishments, weave all tails through several stitches in the same color area; therefore, the ends vanish. Then, snip close without cutting the fabric.
• Surface Smoothing:
  • Roll the body gently between palms to even the fiberfill. Next, nudge cheeks outward and settle the hat brim so petals frame the face.
• Light Blocking (optional):
  • Steam-block petals from a safe distance to set shape; however, avoid heating safety eyes and do not over-steam cotton.
• Final Check:
  • Confirm the hat is secure, the flower sits neatly, and the smile looks centered. Consequently, the amigurumi appears tidy and ready to gift.

Detailed Body Recap with Time Cues (for absolute beginners)

• Setup (2–3 minutes): Make a magic ring and crochet the first 6 sc.
• Growth (8–12 minutes): Work R2–R5 with smooth increases to reach 30 stitches.
• Rounds (12–18 minutes): Crochet R6–R9 evenly; pause to plan eye placement.
• Shaping (15–20 minutes): Decrease at R10–R12 while beginning to stuff gradually.
• Belly (15–18 minutes): Increase again at R13–R15 for a round base.
• Taper (10–12 minutes): Decrease through R16–R18, then cinch closed and weave the tail.

Because beginners appreciate pacing, these time cues encourage calm, intentional progress.

Detailed Hat Recap with Time Cues 

• Center Disc (8–10 minutes): R1–R4 to 24 stitches.
• Secure Round (3–5 minutes): R5 sc around for stability.
• FLO Setup (2–3 minutes): R6 in FLO to anchor future petals.
• Expansion (10–12 minutes): R7 increasing to 30, then R8 even.
• Texture Ridge (3–4 minutes): A slip-stitch round between R7 and R8 for a tidy brim line.
• Brim Line (6–8 minutes): R9 in BLO, then R10 sl st loosely and fasten off.
• Petals (12–15 minutes): Petal repeats into the FLO of R6.
• Lace Edge (optional, 4–6 minutes): Ch 2, skip 1, sl st pattern around.

Because each segment is compact, the hat builds quickly and feels wonderfully achievable.

Why This Pattern Feels Beginner-Friendly

• Clear, incremental rounds minimize guesswork.
• Front-loop and back-loop notes are explicit, so texture appears reliably.
• Time estimates reduce uncertainty, while placement pointers prevent last-minute rework.
• Gentle finishing steps produce a clean, giftable look every time.
