So, one of the most iconic imaes of fall, is a squirrel… squirreling away nuts. Indeed this fall colored beanie gives you just that: fall earth tones and the bushy-tailed little critter, all topped with a pom pom. Moreover, these beanies come in numerous sizes, so almost everyone can have one.

Earth-Space Crochet Baby Hat Free Pattern
You really get two crochet baby hat patterns in one. The more complex, and therefore more interesting, is the intended "Earth in Space" design. You add a tiny bit of surface embroidery to the body of the hat to create the illusion of stars. Then you learn how to make an Earth-inspired pom to go atop the hat. However, if you leave off those two details, you're left with the simpler version - a continuous spiral crochet hat pattern that you can work in any color to suit any baby.
