"This cute pattern is made using a simple design with two stripes at the bottom and a textured border. I like to use light shades such as mint and grey for mine, but you can choose any colors. These crocheted hats use a series of basic crochet stitches. They all add texture and style to this otherwise simple baby hat crochet pattern. This is a great crochet newborn hat. I made the knit blanket for my daughter's gymnastics coach who is expecting. This hat baby beanie would be the perfect addition to my gift."
