Butterfly Newborn Hat Crochet Pattern

Butterfly Newborn Hat Crochet Pattern

This Butterfly Newborn Hat is popping up all over the place so I decided it was time to make one with an E hook and super fine weight yarn! Since it is made with super fine weight yarn, it's great for the summer breeze!

This is probably one of my favorite patterns. I'm not exactly sure why though. Maybe because it really digs into the creative side making the butterfly a lace type of butterfly that you have to look at for a moment to get. Maybe it's how easy it is to make it. Nonetheless, it is still one of my favorites. I hope y'all love it as much as I do!
