This baby hat crochet pattern is my all-time personal favorite and has become my go-to Baby HAT pattern. 
If you have not worked in the round before do not worry you can still crochet a baby hat! By Crocheting the hats in ROWS instead of IN THE ROUND.
I have a pattern specifically designed for the simplest baby hat Patterns to crochet. It also is one of the BEST baby hats to crochet for a NEWBORN which is also suitable for donating to hospitals. As the Baby hat is Stretchy you can turn the brim up if you need to.
However, I must warn you that crocheting these baby hats can be addictive!
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 in different colors and combinations.
