How to crochet an EASY Newborn Infant Beanie Crochet Hat Pattern FREE

This is a free crochet pattern for a newborn beanie. The stretchiness of the infant crochet hat pattern means it is also perfect for donating to hospitals. 

On coming out of hospital newborn babies must be kept cozy and warm as they can rapidly lose weight. Keeping a little crochet beanie on them is advised. 

After posting a recent image of a baby set I had been asked to crochet for a newborn infant to leave the hospital in. 

I was inundated with requests for the newborn Hat pattern to match

Megans Easy Newborn Crochet Sweater Cardigan pattern . 

I like to keep the crochet baby items nice and simple. And the Baby Beanie I made here is a fantastic beginner-friendly pattern. 

My daughter requested a few of these little newborn crochet hats, for my grandson to wear, especially in the first week. And we found them invaluable to pop on and off easily, 

Especially since it was the colder months. 

As you will know I LOVE the Newborn Ribbed Hat Pattern, which is an easy beginner-friendly pattern as it is worked in a rectangle and then the seams are sewn together. 

It has a roll-up brim so it easily adapts to the changing sizes required for newborns and lasts a few months. But I must admit I LOVE the simple Baby Beanie because its so easy to crochet, I can make a few of these in a night watching the TV, or a movie so they are a super fast crochet project. 

NEWBORN Baby HAT SIZE 

RECOMMENDED Circumference of HAT = 12 INCHES 

(with a little ability  to stretch) 

Crochet Diameter should measure  = 3.5- 4 inches 

HAT height  = 4.5- 5.5

I used a 4.00mm hook 

Cygnet Aran Yarn - Buy @ Deramores -

I'm impressed by this yarn as in first thought it looks cheap but it really works up well. 

I have added in some photos to be able to assist the beginner crocheter.
