I’m super proud to present to you my new pattern- the “Sylphie” Crocodile Stitch Hat / Dragon Hat in three sizes: Adult, Child, and Baby (6 months). The Adult size can be worked with just one skein of Lion Brand’s squishy warm Scarfie yarn, or two skeins of the gorgeously colored Lion Brand Landscapes!

All three sizes are available in one comprehensive pattern via Ravelry , in my Ko-Fi Shop, and in my Etsy Shop !

EDIT: This pattern has been UPDATED with some jazzy new pictures and one or two tweaks to the design & layout. For more info, see this blog post.

The whimsical crocodile stitch – with its 3-D look akin to scales, petals, leaves, or even berries – easily captures people’s hearts and imaginations. The Sylphie Crocodile Stitch Hat is as versatile as it is charming, so stitch one up and get transported into the realm of the flower-bedecked wee folk or impish and troublesome swamp dragons!

Even if you’ve never worked crocodile stitch, this pattern is easy to follow with detailed instructions including photo tutorials and step-by-step directions. Adult, Child, and Baby sizes and directions for earflaps, braids, and dragon horns are all included!

Sizes & Yarn weight required

Baby (6 months) – 18” (worsted weight)
Child – 21” (worsted weight)
Adult Small- 23” (bulky weight)

Now, on to my next project! Sleep is for idiots!
