Ribbed Crochet Hat with Ear Flaps Pattern FREE Newborn and (0-3 months) Sizing

Free Crochet Pattern for Baby hat with Earflaps.  A written crochet Baby Hat pattern, available to download and print. 

This hat is for NEWBORN & 0-3 months sizing. This is the Perfect Winter crochet hat for a Baby! 

Tried and Tested by my own Grandson. In Every Colour! My most precious photo of my grandson is him wearing his Christmas festive-themed outfit and matching cozy hat that I made for him

This crochet baby hat is also my MOST asked for in orders, and my go-to favorite crochet hat for baby

This ribbed crochet hat with ear flaps and huge pom is perfect for 0-3 months. 

I first made my grandson this warm cozy ribbed hat with earflaps and a huge pom, when he was just a few weeks old. 

The Grey one pictured above had 1 more row of sc back loops, but this made it just a little too big. 

 And it was a firm favorite throughout the winter. The Baby hat was crocheted using the Half double crochet Stitch, (HDC) and to create the ribbing effect the HDC is worked around the front of the post of the previous round (FPHDC)

Since posting a picture of him in his ribbed earflap hat.

 I have been asked several times for the baby hat crochet pattern with ear flaps. 

And in between Grandmother duties, I finally got it written up. 

I also posted Christmas Photos of him in a Red Santa hat and a huge pom that he wore everywhere, and my daughter was always asked where did you get his hat.
