Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with this simple hat pattern because it's such a perfect canvas for creativity! While the classic white, black, and blue combo gives you that authentic SpongeBob look, I've had so much fun making variations in different color schemes—imagine a pink and gold version for a princess theme, or red and white for a candy cane sailor look during the holidays.

You can also play with the anchor design by trying different symbols like stars, hearts, or initials to personalize each hat. I've found that adding tiny pearl beads around the black band creates an elegant touch, or you could work the entire hat in metallic yarn for a festive feel. The pattern also scales beautifully—I've made micro versions as earring charms and larger ones as actual wearable hats for babies by simply adjusting the hook size.

Another fun twist I enjoy is adding a little pom-pom or tassel to the top instead of closing it flat, which gives it a completely different character. You could even work the blue section longer to create dangling ribbons, or add embroidered details like rope patterns or compass roses to really lean into that nautical theme!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not counting stitches carefully in the magic ring can throw off the entire hat shape and symmetry ✗ Forgetting to work in back loops only during the black band section results in losing the distinctive ribbed texture ✗ Pulling the slip stitches too tight in the black band can cause unwanted puckering and distortion ✗ Skipping the chain and turn instructions in the blue anchor section leads to incorrect anchor placement and shape

Assembly Instructions

  • Weave in all yarn ends securely, especially at color change points to prevent unraveling.
  • Use embroidery thread or fabric paint to add red decorative lines on the white portion of the hat.
  • Create the anchor symbol on the blue section using embroidery or paint, following traditional anchor design.
  • If attaching to an amigurumi figure, position the hat at a slight angle for maximum character and charm.
  • Block the hat gently with steam if needed to ensure the brim sits flat and maintains its shape.

Important Notes

  • 💡The back loop only technique in rounds 7-8 creates the ribbed band effect that's essential to the design
  • 💡When changing colors, carry the yarn carefully to avoid visible lines or gaps in your work
  • 💡The blue anchor section is worked in rows, not rounds, so remember to chain and turn as instructed
  • 💡Take your time with the embroidery details as they really bring the nautical theme to life
  • 💡This hat works perfectly at this scale but can be adjusted by using thicker yarn and larger hooks

FAQs

Can I make this hat larger to fit a doll or stuffed animal?

Absolutely! Simply use a larger hook size and thicker yarn. A 3.5mm or 4mm hook with worsted weight yarn will create a hat approximately twice the size, perfect for larger amigurumi or dolls.

What's the best way to add the anchor design?

You have two options: embroidery or fabric paint. For embroidery, use a simple backstitch or chain stitch with white or gold thread. For painting, use acrylic fabric paint with a fine brush for crisp lines.

Why do I work in back loops only for the black band?

Working in BLO creates a ribbed texture that mimics the look of a folded fabric band, giving the hat a more realistic and dimensional appearance. It's what makes that black section stand out!

Can I skip the blue anchor section?

Yes, you can finish after round 8 for a simple sailor hat without the anchor flap. However, the blue anchor detail is what makes it instantly recognizable as SpongeBob's iconic hat!

How do I attach this hat to a completed amigurumi?

Use matching yarn and a yarn needle to sew the hat onto the head with small whip stitches around the brim. Position it slightly tilted for extra personality, just like the character wears it!
