This easy crochet baby hat pattern comes in the first 3 sizes. The Written Pattern for the Santa hat pattern and the Christmas pudding hat patterns are easy basic baby hat crochet patterns and will help you to make an adorable crocheted hat for a baby this Christmas.
These little crocheted baby Christmas pudding crochet hats are perfect no matter what the season.
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?
YES, 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 perhaps you have never worked in the round before.
