Crochet Baby Hat Patterns

Sizing a crochet baby hat

Newborn hats are usually around 33 to 36cm in circumference, with 0 to 3 months a little larger. Crochet slightly smaller than the head measurement so the hat hugs gently, and check the pattern's finished size before you start.

Choosing yarn

• Soft DK or 4 ply in cotton, bamboo or superwash wool sits kindly on newborn skin.
• Machine-washable yarn is a kindness to new parents.
• Sew ends in securely and skip loose ties or small buttons.
