My First Hat by Cream Of The Crop Crochet

Crochet this adorable newborn baby hat pattern by Cream Of The Crop Crochet in any color that you like to suit either a baby girl or a baby boy. Girls will prefer the cute little bow, but for a boy, why not try a cute little animal or car applique.

The crocheted hat is nice and cozy, making it great for the new winter babies. Use it to keep their little heads warm while going out into the cold, or use it during photo shoots as a cute accessory.

This hat is the perfect companion for this crochet teddy bear amigurumi, these baby booties or this lovey. You might also enjoy this roundup of crochet baby boy hats.
