Puff Newborn Hat Crochet Pattern
The Puff Newborn Hat is great for hot days when your baby needs a little air to their head, while still covering it. I have always loved making the puff stitch which is what brought me to making a puff stitch hat, although I didn’t want it to be intimidating to newer crocheters, so I made all of the increases with the double crochet stitch.
I’d love to see what y’all do with yours! 🙂

Thisi s the sweetest hat pattern. Love it!! I love sewing and crocheting baby items!! Thank so much for the hat.
I have always struggled with crocheting in rounds but this hat was so easy and looks just like the picture! I can’t wait to make more!
Can this hat be made for bigger baby ie. 3 month upwards .if so could you give details
Thank you
Can this hat be made in bigger sizes and what size hooks need
Thank you! Yes, I’m still trying to work out the blurry part. No, the chains are not counted as stitches. That’s why I made use to put “(9 dc sts)”. Have a great day!
Super cute hat, but the video is very blurry. I also need “dummy” instructions like do you count the chains as stitches. But that’s just me.
