Mesh Baby Hat Crochet Pattern
This sweet mesh crochet hat pattern is a great one for newborns who need to keep the tops of their heads warm but might find a winter-style hat too warm.
The sides of the hat use a lovely mesh stitch that’s nice and open, which provides airflow and makes the hat a little more flexible in terms of sizing.
It uses a super fine weight yarn which is also great for warmer weather, and it’s sized for a newborn.

Would you please list a pattern (or adjustments to this one)for a mesh baby beanie using #4 worsted weight yarn.
Could you please re-post the video – it doesn’t appear any longer on the blog and I love making sure I am doing the pattern correctly by watching a video. Thank you!
May I please have the video pattern for your newborn mesh pattern baby hat. I can’t find your link. Ty. ❤️
Thank you for the pattern. Could you possibly make one for preemie babies in the NICU??? It would be greatly appreciated!
Could you please upload your video again? I find videos to be very heplful and your hat looks so cute.
I think this would be a beautiful hat for chemo patients (so they wouldn’t get too warm). Do you have the pattern in an adult size?
I like your video. Thanks
Thank you for pinning it, Alexandra!
This really is such a lovely hat! I have pinned to a couple of my boards, and scheduled for sharing on Monday afternoon 🙂 Thanks for sharing it with us!
