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.
