Granny Stitch Newborn Hat Crochet Pattern
I love how easy and simple this Granny Stitch Newborn Hat is. Just grab an E hook and super fine weight yarn and you will be good to go. Even though it is simple, I knew beginners would ask for a video tutorial to follow along with so I've added that at the bottom as well. I hope y'all love making this hat just as much as I do!
