If you have never crocheted a hat before and need a step-by-step guide to crocheting an easy baby hat You can visit my page HERE or if you prefer the video tutorial on How to Crochet an Easy Baby Hat watch here
I have also included a handy Hat Size Chart, so if you want to make a larger size you can, by following the measurements.
To make the Hat fit any size you will Chain the hat HEIGHT measurement to START
(Just (remember to add extra Chains for how deep you want the BRIM)
And crochet until the HAT circumference is achieved for the size you require
SO for a newborn hat Newbornm you will need
Starting Chain will be Hat Height = 5” +PLUS 2 inches for Turn up
And continue crocheting until your piece measures Hat circumference = 12”
The Crochet Pumpkin Baby Hat pattern is Written in US term

- Please note I am an extremely loose crocheter you may need to adjust the hook size, (or use the measurements provided to ensure your crochet pumpkin hat will FIT.)
Abbreviations (US TERMS)
ch- chain
hdc – Half Double Crochet
BLp – Back Loops of the stitch.
NOTES:
When you turn your hat and change colors make sure all pieces of yarn are all kept on the backside.
Remember for a FOLD-UP BRIM MAKE the starting chain LONGER than the length of the hat required. (I kept making a chain and folding up the bottom to see how it looked.
Continue working Row 1 and Row 2, changing colors as you work until the desired length/circumference of hat is required)
