Karla’s Hats

Since published Little Karla Girl pattern, many times have been asked about different hat patterns for the little Karla. Blame it on me for not posting more back then, but when I crochet, I crochet without any pattern and usually don’t write what I am dong. So I end up repeating same doll and same pattern several times before it “hits” me that I could write it down for some future use. 🙂

Since I started with this blog, I do try to write down all I do. Even first time doing it. Now need time writing it all nice and readable 😀 Let us get back to what we have started here; hats for little Karla doll. You all met Karla. Since last time you saw her, her hair grew a little, but still not enough to take the hat off 😀 Will show you, her recent photos, but please, if you will must laugh, turn your head around and laugh quietly. We really did our best to comb and make nice hair style for photo shooting today.

So here comes Karla:

Karla Hats - 04🙂 we said no laughing loud!!!!

Today, tried to make up few hats together with patterns, so all of you that asked for something different to put on Karla’s head, now have few options to choose from.

Here are hats I have made today.

Karla Hats - 26These are really basic models and very, very simple to make. You can use them to make so many different styles. Once you’ll start and let your imagination lead you, you will see how it becomes never-ending story (when it comes to creating something new 🙂 So do not hesitate, take your little Karla, some yarn and needle and start creating new hats for this little one! Let’s continue with the hat patterns!

  1. Hi I have just made you fantastic Karla doll and I am about to make more hats from your pattern thanks x but I wonder if you have the pattern for Karla`s hair please

    1. Karla has two hairs, so not much hair on her head.
      You can make straight hairs or curly ones by simply attaching yarn color of your choice on one of top head stitches. Chain as much as you wish hair to be long. For straight hairs, slip stitch over chain made. For curly hair inc in every chain stitch. This way make two or three hairs on top of her head and that’s it. That is all the hair Karla has 😉

      1. Thank you for the reply and all your fabulous dolls xxx. I’m going to make a different Karla for each hat will let you see the finished Karla x

  2. i CANNOT FIND the doll karla pattern just the hats!! 🙁

  3. […] idea was for a little panda with an over-sized head. I was also inspired by the little bear hat in this wonderful post by Vanja at AmigurumiBB. I thought a panda would look quite excellent wearing that little […]
