The Yarn That is Perfect for This Newborn Hat
I decided to make this easy crochet newborn hat with Vanna’s choice in pink by Lion brand yarn which is a medium weight yarn.
Why use this yarn?
Well, it is especially easy it is to crochet with! I like to work with Vanna’s Choice because they have an awesome variety of colors to pick from and it is so durable.

Great Hat to Crochet for New Crocheters!

Not sure about the flower?
You can opt-out of making the flower part if you wish because it would look great either way.
I think this would be perfect in a blue, green or yellow color too! Which makes it perfect for as a newborn girl hat or newborn boy hat!

Just wondering how to adjust the pattern for baby yarn. I have lots of it and wanted to make premie and newborn hats to donate. I love this pattern.
Hi Jeanne,
I do not have a pattern for this type of hat with baby yarn but If it were me, I’d start with more double crochets in the beginning round and increase each row to to get the size of 11-13″ before stopping the increase. Hope this helps!
Krista
where could I find a tutorial for this hat?? I do not know what a slip stitch is at the end of the first row.
Thank you
Hi Gail,
Under the crochet stitch section in the pattern there are links for each stitch with tutorials that may help 🙂

Hi there, I was wondering if you would know the amount of stitches necessary for a slightly larger newborn hat size? I love the pattern and style and it’s so easy but the size of the finished hat seems like it would fit more of a premmie than a newborn
