Like the Crochet baby hat with a little flower decoration, Is made in double crochet, yet finished off with 4 rounds of single crochet
So I set out to write out an easy-to-make baby hat Crochet Pattern, worked in a plain double crochet stitch in the first 3 sizes!
The TWIST to this little crochet hat pattern is that it is going to become a versatile pattern, to create little crochet hats throughout the seasons.
Is The baby hat crochet pattern beginner friendly?
This crochet baby hat is absolutely beginner friendly as it is not started with a magic circle, you will chain 4 and work all the first round INTO the first chain you made.
You work in Rounds, slipping into the chain at the start of Rounds.
The little hat is crocheted in one stitch, Double Crochet (Dc)
If you are still doubtful that this pattern is not for you prehaps you have never worked in the round before .
Then I highly suggest you visit My popular Page How to Crochet a Baby Hat, which is crocheted in ROWS
