🧢 How To Make This Baby Hat:
-
Start at the Crown:
Begin with a magic ring and increase in each round until it matches the average newborn head diameter. -
Build the Height:
Once you've reached the right width (about 10–11 cm flat circle), crochet straight down to build the sides. -
Optional Decorations:
Add a pom-pom or simple bow for visual interest — or leave it minimal and clean. -
Fit Check:
Stretch lightly by hand and make sure it fits snugly but softly around the newborn’s head (≈34–36 cm head circumference).
