Hello Everyone!
We’re back here on another Friday and today I’m bringing you my first crochet baby project. A cute little crochet baby hat!
Recently a few of my friends had babies and I am absolutely loving the opportunity to crochet for them! I’ll be working on some clothing for them soon but today I have a little hat!
Being a baby hat this project used very little yarn and worked up extremely quickly. You could easily make multiple of these on a weekend and it’s perfect for those who like donating baby hats to the hospitals.
This hat is also made in a thinner yarn so it can be used for the winter, fall, or spring months.
This pattern uses yarn from Ice Yarns that I hadn’t tried before and I LOVED it! I will be writing a yarn review on it shortly because I know ordering yarn online can be intimidating. This post will also contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase using some of my links I’ll make a small commission at no extra cost to you!
Let’s get hooking.
Supplies
4mm crochet hook. I use the 4mm hook from this clover set https://amzn.to/37aZ2rk
Baby design green shades from Ice Yarns you can find it here http://bit.ly/2G2q35b
Darning needle
Scissors
Abbreviations
Ch- Chain
Hdc- Half double crochet
Slst- Slip stitch
Special Stitch
Hdc puff stitch- For this stitch, you will get 3 loops on your hook as if you were working a normal hdc. Once you have 3 loops, yarn over, insert hook into the same stitch and pull up another loop. You should now have 5 loops on your hook yarn over, and pull through all 5 loops.

Before we go
I hope you all enjoyed working on today’s crochet baby hat with me! I really enjoyed designing it, it worked up quickly, and was nice and relaxing.
This is also my first time working with actual baby yarn and I loved it. It was so soft the pattern actually took me longer to design that it should have because I just wanted to keep feeling the yarn!
