Baby Hat & Booties FREE Crochet Patterns (Newborn /0-3 months)
This Easter-themed baby set was brought around by a new mum who wanted a matching Hat, bootie, and baby set for a photo shoot for her newborn
The hat is based on a simple baby beanie-type baby cap pattern

I finished off the hat with a fun brick stitch crochet pattern around the bottom to resemble a cracked egg.
The added crochet ruffle can be folded up or down to suit. The cute baby Easter bonnet set has proved to be a really popular design.
Since I originally made it I’ve upgraded the pattern a little to add in a further few rounds of ribbing AND a crochet baby diaper cover FREE PATTERN
