Read on down to learn how to make a crocheted hat for a newborn today!
A couple of weeks ago I ended up at the craft store.
It was really weird how my truck just drove me that way and I truly didn’t have any choice in the matter! Happens all the time right?
Lately, I have been loving simple stripes and lines, so I decided to create a pattern in that essence in the form of an easy newborn crochet hat!
The Yarn
I ended up buying some great earthy toned colors to use for this easy crochet newborn hat! Unfortunately the yarn I used isn’t available anymore.
In its place I highly recommend Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice because of all the great color selection and durability. It is a 100% acrylic yarn and is easy to find in most craft stores and online. Take a peek at it below.
You will need to pick six different colors of yarn for this newborn beanie. The Vanna White line has so many unique colors to pick from that it will definitely be an easy decision!
