Crochet baby hats have several uses, including:

Keeping babies warm: Baby hats are essential for keeping babies warm and cozy, especially during the colder months. The little hats are also ideal to cover a baby's head when they are outside to protect them from the sun or wind.

Photo props: Crochet baby hats make great photo props for newborn and baby photography. 
The handmade hats add such a cute and unique touch to the photos and can be used to complement the outfit or theme of the photo shoot.

My favorite little Photo prop hat is Actually the 'Peaky Blinders Crochet Baby Hat' And its a free pattern on my site HERE  - seen here modeled by my grandson! Adorably cute.

I have several Crochet Flower Patterns for FREE available on my WEBSITE - HERE  you can use to finish off the baby hat. 

Recently I was reminded just how fast babies grow when my grandson was born, it seemed for the first few weeks after he was born, nothing we had bought seemed to fit properly as he was still a little scrunched up! 

I of course had made a few crocheted baby items, but what we were astounded at was how quick he outgrew the newborn hats, yet still the shop bought ones were too big or uncomfortable for him. 

I actually crocheted him several of these FAST Easy to crochet Baby hat made in the Half double crochet stitch, and I've now written out the first few sizes due to popular demand. 

BABY HAT SIZES: 
The Half double crochet Baby hat pattern is written Newborn, 1-3 months, 3- 6 months, 6- 12 months (note: all sizes are approximate) 

I recently had a frantic call from a Mumma who had a whopping 10lb baby and needed the crochet hats just a little bigger the average newborn size. 

So I made a few of the hats in different colors and bigger sizes. 

I Love the half double crochet stitch for baby hats, as it is a nice stretchy stitch yet is super warm to help baby keep nice and cozy.
