Try this newborn size hat called the Teeny Weeny Crochet Hat. Designed for newborns that are approximately 7 - 9 lbs. We have the 3 other sizes in this pattern for preemies and up to 3 months.
This project is a great starter project for crocheters. It has an easy growth pattern to follow. I have also included my free tutorials to show you how to do this pattern. In the tutorial, I can show you how to read the pattern and give tips for finishing and more.
This is a great project for hospitals and other institutions that accept baby size donations.

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 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.

Great newborn hat, thanks for sharing ? Just letting you know I clicked a link for a baby hat with plaits and it took me here.

How do I get the print out of the pattern? Thank you for your tutorial.
Mikey says
I updated the article and relinked the pattern as the URL had changed. Thanks for the heads up.

I have crochet for years but only making blankets and afghans. I am so struggling with this little cap. I keep adding stitches and then discovered that my 'seam' was going crooked. Duh if you add stitches this is what happens. It has been taken out three times now. I bought some markers and have now marked the last Hdc and another in the first Hdc. I think I may get this done this time. Goan, but I keep working. Baby will be born tonight so I need to get this finished and washed.
