How to crochet a Baby Hat for a Newborn (Ribbed brim)

 I Love this crochet baby hat pattern, and it is an easy and quick last-minute crochet project. I have included photos to help you create this beautiful little crochet hat.

Julias crochet Baby hat pattern by LisaAuch Crochet

How many times have we had news of an early birth of an infant and you just want to quickly make a little hat a gift to welcome the new baby.

I have included a link to a matching crochet pattern for the baby booties further down the page if you wish to crochet a matching baby set.

 I love this little crochet baby hat because it has a stretchy finish to the border, meaning it can fit for a few weeks after birth too.

I made a little grey matching set for my grandson and we found this a fantastic fit when he was a newborn baby. I added to small pom poms and it was so blooming cuteeeee.

TO crochet a Baby Hat you will need 25grams of Double Knit yarn and for a Newborn, I used a 4.00mm hook (HOWEVER you may need to go UP a size to achieve the SAME tension as I am an Extremely loose crocheter.

(Gauge Guide) 9 Dc  stitches = 2 inches across

Hat Circumference will be 13 inches

Crown Diameter = 4 inches

Hat Length =

Crochet small Pom Poms for the hat I love finishing off the hat with Double pom poms and add them on to the booties if you crochet a pair to match the hat.

I'm old school when making my pom-poms and use the traditional method of winding the yarn around cardboard circles

However apparently the CLOVER POM POM makers* are excellent and come in 3 sizes of pom pom makers SMALL- MEDIUM - LARGE - I usually buy my crochet supplies from

VISIT The Knitting Network*- they have great deals all the time and fast delivery even though I'm in a remote part of the Country

I have added Olivers Crochet Baby Booties ( free crochet pattern) here with a ribbed edging. you can add a bow finish or little pom poms both look equally adorable

I Love Crocheting Baby hats and Booties and Love to add in a little crochet hat and booties for a newborn gift.

I like to switch up the finishings of the baby hats with different crochet stitches and finishings

This is an easy crochet baby beanie style hat pattern and super fast easy baby booties
