I Love crocheting this little hat and working with the Half Double Crochet (HDC) stitch for hats, it gives a lot of room for the little one to grow, making it stretchy enough to fit that in-between stage.
I LOVE this crochet pattern for the hat as it is so easy to follow, and works up quickly and I find myself using this little hat pattern over and over.
I added a simple 10-petal crochet flower to finish - See Crochet Flower Pattern further down the page
