However, I must warn you that crocheting these baby hats can be addictive!

Easy Crochet Baby Hat Pattern (Beginner Crochet Baby Hat Pattern) 

The ribbed baby hats are super fast and easy to crochet and are especially popular because the hats can be turned up at the brim if a little too long for a newborn baby. 

These baby hats work up quickly, require minimal yarn, and allow you to make several from one ball of yarn or varied in different colors and combinations
