An easy crochet pattern for an Easter hat for a newborn, the mum wanted an Easter theme.
So I crocheted this Easter hat following a basic beanie pattern for a baby.
Finishing the hat off with the 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The cute Easter bonnet has proved to be a really popular design, but since I originally made it I've upgraded the pattern a little to add in a further few rounds of ribbing AND a crochet baby diaper cover FREE PATTERN

The baby hat is an easy basic baby beanie hat pattern that is ideal for a new baby since it is made in the half-double crochet stitch and is nice and stretchy.
If making this little set for a gift, especially at Easter time I like to crochet one of my Crochet Ducks
