Minecraft Stampylongnose Hat

If you have a kid who plays video games, you've probably heard of Minecraft. I got a Christmas request for a Stampy hat from my niece. As far as I can tell, there isn't a pattern for this. Mine was inspired by a photo that my niece sent me from a Google search.

Crochet Minecraft Stampy Hat, Over The Apple Tree

This is NOT a detailed pattern and instructions because frankly, it was pretty tricky to figure out. I was more wrapped up in what I was doing than taking pictures and writing down details. Now that I'm done, I'm not interested in doing it again just for instructional purposes. Sorry, your on your own!

I will share my graph and what tips I can without confusing you too much. If you're an experienced crocheter, you can figure this out. The trickiest part is changing colors and adding on to the rows.

First of all, make an orange hat. I chose to do a basic double crochet earflap hat.

The Stampy face is worked with worsted weight yarn. White, dark grey, light grey, black, and green. In this graph image, the light grey on the outer edges is just dead space. The only place I used light grey yarn was for the nose(totally optional, you could just use the dark grey for the nose). This face is worked in HDC with a 4.25 mm hook.

Start at the bottom of the image. Ch 11 then starting in the second ch from hook, hdc across(10). At the end of each row, ch 1 and turn. Decide which side is the front and which is the back. You can stick in a stitch marker or a safety pin to mark which side is which.

In some places I carried the yarn if it made sense. Other places I cut and refastened. Take your time before you cut your yarn. Look to the next row and plan ahead. If you don't cut your yarn, be sure to pull your yarn you aren't using to the back side. This way it won't show when you pick it back up on the next row.

Everything is worked in hdc's except for the last dark grey sections of the outer eyebrows. I added that part after I was done. I worked two rows of 3 sc vertically along the edge of the white.

  3. Not to sound like "lame old mom", but I just don't get Minecraft with this Stampy Cat, some Steve guy, and that character that pops up but doesn't really exist in the game... But the kids are crazy about it. They are gonna flip when they see this. Thank you!

    1. Hi Heather. Thanks for visiting. I've done a creeper hat as well. It's not really hard as long as you can get the hang of switching back and forth with the colors. It's sold out now, but you can take a look at photo here https://www.etsy.com/listing/246081311/minecraft-creeper-hat-minecraft-beanie?ref=shop_home_active_11 Have a great weekend!

  11. Hi and thanks for sharing. I asked my 6yr old grandson to pick out a hat for me to make him. He said Stampy Cat. I found your pattern but did mine a little different. I crocheted the entire face white, Then I made crochet pieces in the colors needed and sewed them over the white. Really easy, really quick.

  12. I saw your fox scarf on Pinterest, and just love it. Do you sell the pattern? I love your work, but know that at this time most of them are beyond my skills. However, this is one that I would love to give a try.
