Striped Newborn Hat
I know that tons of newborn patterns exist but I wanted to share this little hat with you. This is my favorite way, that I came up with, to do beanie style hats. The last round may be confusing to beginners so I hope the link I provided helps. I need a way to create videos so I can give little tutorials with my patterns. I might have to ponder on that see what I can come up with. Anyways I hope you enjoy!

Stitch Abbreviations:
Sc- single crochet
Hdc - half double crochet
Dc- double crochet
sl st - slip stitch
Ch – chain
Beg.- beginning
FpHdc- front post half double crochet
Notes:
-When working in the round I like to use this method which gives a neater join.
-When changing colors I like to finish off the last stitch
with the new color then continue to join and ch.1. I also like to tie the two
yarns together to help secure them.

Weave in all ends.
*If you want to create more of an 0-3 months size just go up a hook. 5.5mm for the base and 5mm for the last round. *
Finishing:
If you want, just sew on the button or applique you wish to use and you are finished. I used cotton hand quilting thread to sew on the wood button. I then took yarn and sewed it through the holes and tied off.
