Baby Hat Crochet Pattern

My baby boy in his crochet hat

My baby boy is only 1 month old.  He started life at a whopping 10 lbs 2 oz, and thanks to the genetic trend in my family for ENORMOUS heads he’s grown out of all the “newborn” stuff already.  Since the only other stuff I have is pink (2 older sisters) I decided it was time to hit the leftover yarn tub, and I made this baby hat crochet pattern.

I found two yarn remnants that I thought would be fun together (blue & teal).  I initially thought about using a free pattern online, but most of the patterns didn’t have pictures.  So, I got frustrated and decided to make my own.

 Feel free to use my pattern for free but please link it back to modernhomemakers.com!
