Preemie/Newborn Christmas Tree Hats by Cream Of The Crop Crochet
This crochet Christmas tree hat pattern by Cream Of The Crop Crochet features an embroidered Christmas tree, which makes this ideal for the upcoming holiday season. The crochet baby hat pattern is available in preemie and other baby sizes.
You can just as well whip this hat up in any colors you like for any season you like. Omit the embroidered tree and use any applique, or go without an applique altogether if you like.
Depending on what you decide, this cozy hat pattern can be used for all occasions and would make for a lovely photo prop as well.
How it’s Made
The free pattern uses basic crochet stitches from start to finish. It is started at the top of the hat and worked in the rounds.
Increases are made at the crown until you get to the size that you want. Refer to this crochet hat size chart if you want to make it in other sizes for the whole family. The size chart covers all ages including toddler, child, teen and adult sizes. Thus, this fun hat could be the perfect accessory for family photo shoots during the winter season.
The final round is worked in single crochet stitches using a different color to give it a nice holiday look. I love the simplicity of that, but you could just as easy work it up in all sorts of striped designs for the Christmas season, or any other season for that matter.
Once complete, a cute little Christmas tree is worked into the hat using the satin stitch. Feel free to add any other applique that you like.
