the mum wanted an Easter theme for a photoshoot for her newborn.
So I crocheted this Easter hat following a basic beanie pattern for a baby.
I finished off the baby hat with the fun brick stitch around the bottom to resemble a cracked egg.
The added crochet ruffle can be folded up or down to suit.
The cute Easter hat/ bonnet has proved to be a really popular design.
Since I originally made it I've upgraded the pattern a little to add in a further few rounds of ribbing AND a crochet baby diaper cover FREE PATTERN
