Learn how to crochet Baby’s First Hat. Available in 3 – 4 lbs preemie sizes up to 3 months.
Diva Dan and I have generated crochet diagrams. In filming this years ago and with increased technology today, people assumed the counts were wrong. However, it’s the idea that hats as they increase in size have a mathematical formula.
You will notice these all 4 sizes are unique to get to the right size. The diagrams help show you exactly where the stitches go.
Try this pattern, they make for great charity donation ideas as well.

Stitch it Forward
Yarnspirations has released their latest Lookbook called Caron, Stitched with Love. The book of free patterns for both knitters and crocheters has one central theme, charity. It focuses on simple projects and some that require a bit of knowledge of crochet. Personally, I love how the Lookbook allows new crocheters to learn new skills but also for the ones who have some skills to go a step further. Not only is this book charity oriented, but it is also a great starting point for crocheters and knitters to do something more than practise with stitches. It will allow them to learn, grow and contribute to their own community with the projects they create.
The project above is from this Lookbook. This article is one specific pattern and I have a tutorial that matches it for those who need an extra helping hand with the instructions and skills needed to complete the project.
Made it. Easy pattern and looks very nice. I added a second row of single crochet to the edge so it would stand out better. Love your site and Mikey with the tutorials.
the patterns are addicting I swear, I barely finish one and I end up with 5 more added to me want to-do list lol
Hi where can I find the diagrams for the other hat sizes. I’ve followed the tutorial and completed the newborn hat but I’m struggling to readand understand the pattern to make the first size. In the tutorial you show diagrams for all sizes, could you please point me in the right direction to find them. Thank you Dianne (UK)
I am trying to source a crocheted baby’s helmet. I have seen them for sale in baby shops but would really like the pattern.
I have ripped out and redone this hat a couple times, and if I follow the video exactly like you’ve done it, on round 4 I get 20 groups of cluster, not 19. and if I take out the last group and only do 4 instead of 5 I get a weird pucker in what would be the back of the hat. I left it at 20 and it seemed to smooth out nicely. And yes, my counts were on exactly, up until the end of round 4, and its only that last set of 5 clusters. Did I do something wrong?
Why does Mikey do the video in double crochet when the pattern calls for half-double crochet? Very confusing
Half-double is only done on the first round (which Mikey does), then the rest of the pattern called for double crochet, until the edging which is single crochet.
I have gone all over your site…no where is it showing the pattern. What’s the trick to get the “printable” pattern for the newborn hats you’re showing?
