Round 2: [ch 1, skip dc, (sc, hdc,
Cut off a long length of tail for attaching to face. Sew in hat.
Update:
Made another for a baby shower matched with a pink hat for the big sister, too!
This pink hat was made for a 2-y.o. toddler and so I made the hat about 3 inches smaller in circumference. In hat pattern, round 5 onwards is just 52 stitches.
This blue one is for the baby expected to arrive in a month. The hat stops increasing after 32 stitches and instead of 14 rows, it was just 11. Just an estimate - I have to see the kids wear it to verify the measurements.

Sock Monkey Hat Crochet Pattern
Saturday, November 26, 2011

Beanie
Use instructions below for beanie OR follow this other link for a flatter beanie top.
Start with cream color by ch 4, join to first ch to form ring (or use magic ring).
1.ch2 6dc in ring. Join to top of ch 2 (UPDATE: OMIT THIS ROUND, THIS SEEMS TO MAKE THE HAT TOO POINTY. START INSTEAD ON ROW 2 WITH 12 sc FOR THE FIRST ROUND AFTER THE MAGIC RING. NOTE THAT CH2 COUNTS AS FIRST SC.)
2.ch2 2dc in each dc (12 st) join every round unless otherwise noted
3.ch 2 (2dc in next dc, dc in next dc) 6 times (18 sts)
4.ch2 (2dc in next st, dc in next two sts) 6 times (24 sts)
5.ch2 (2dc in next st, dc in next three sts) 6 times (30 sts)
6.ch2 (2dc in next st, dc in next four sts) 6 times (36 sts)
7.ch2 (2dc in next st, dc in next five sts) 6 times. (42 sts)cut, secure and sew ends. switch to red yarn.
8.ch 1 (sc in each st around) 2 times ( you will have 2 rows of red in sc)
cut, secure and sew ends.
9.change color to grey ch 2. I used a 4mm hook since I only have a 3-ply yarn available. dc in same st.
do not break off yarn
Earflap (make 2):
Using grey yarn
1.ch2, dc 11, ch 2 turn
2.dc2tog, dc in next 7 st dc2tog ch 2 turn
3.dc2tog, dc in next 5 st, dc2 tog ch 2 turn
4.dc2tog, dc in nex 3 st, dc2tog ch 2 turn
5.dc2tog, dc in nex st, dc2tog ch 2 turn
6.dc2tog twice. break off yarn.
Monkey ear (make 2):
Use grey. ch 2
1. 6sc in second ch from hook
do not join
2. 2sc in each of the 6 previous sc. (12 sts)
3. (2sc in next st, sc in next two sts) 6 times (18 sts)
4. 18 sc around (2 times). Break yarn leaving 12" at least for sewing on. attach using darning needle.
Monkey mouth:
With red ch 15
1. sc in second ch from hook, and in each stitch across. sc a second time in last st.
2. working on the under side of initial chain sc all the way sc twice in last st.
3. change to cream yarn. sc all the way around twice, doing two sc in each of the "corner" stitches. Leave a long tail for sewing to hat.
Eye (make 2):
Use medium thickness black yarn using 6mm crochet hook. Magic circle. Chain 1, work 6 single crochet. Join with the beginning stitch. Cut off a long length of tail for attaching to face. Align and sew the eyes to the face. Sew in X's at the center of the eyes.
Crocheted Flower Pattern (link)
Using a size H hook, chain 4. Join the end to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a ring.
R1: (single crochet in the ring, chain 3) 6 times. Again, join the last stitch to the first single crochet with a slip stitch.
R2: (single crochet, chain 1, 3 double crochets, chain 1, single crochet) in each space created by the chain 3.
R3: Now you begin working in the back of the flower you have started creating. (single crochet around the first spoke, then chain 4) 6 times. Join last stitch to first stitch with a slip stitch.
R4: (single crochet, chain 1, 5 double crochets, chain 1, single crochet) in each space created by the chain 4.
R5: Repeat round 3, but chain 5 instead of 4. Join last stitch to first with a slip stitch and weave in ends.
If you want to add another layer of petals, repeat Round 3, increasing the number of stitches in the chain by one, and Round 4, increasing the double crochets by two.
Earflap braided tails:
I used four strands of each color to attach tie strings on to the earflaps and braided them, then trimmed the ends.
