Even though this is a free crochet baby beanie cap pattern that was originally for a Newborn I have included sizes to crochet a hat for a baby 0-3 months and 3-6 months.

So I set out to write out an easy-to-make baby hat Crochet Pattern, worked in a plain double crochet stitch in the first 3 sizes!
