🧢 How To Make This Baby Hat:

  1. Start at the Crown:
    Begin with a magic ring and increase in each round until it matches the average newborn head diameter.

  2. Build the Height:
    Once you've reached the right width (about 10–11 cm flat circle), crochet straight down to build the sides.

  3. Optional Decorations:
    Add a pom-pom or simple bow for visual interest — or leave it minimal and clean.

  4. Fit Check:
    Stretch lightly by hand and make sure it fits snugly but softly around the newborn’s head (≈34–36 cm head circumference).
