This is a very easy basic baby bonnet crochet pattern, which creates a simple newborn crochet bonnet. 

Please note these are some of my older crochet patterns I started out blogging, some of the pictres are older and do not show the true counts for the rows) I have updated the pattern to fit better and written better.   

This bonnet has 7 rows worked and a shell edging for a tiny newborn baby photo shoot.

I used just over 25g for a newborn using King Cole Comfort DK light worsted weight yarn 
NEWBORN use a 4.00mm crochet hook 

0-3 months use a 4.50 mm crochet hook 

Ribbon to finish 
Please Read Pattern instructions carefully before starting to crochet. 
You will work in rounds first then when the pattern states continue working in ROWS back and forth.
