The Basic Baby Bonnet Crochet Pattern uses only basic stitches and works up very quickly! It would be easy to make slight adjustments in size by going up in hook size.
This hat is the 7th pattern in the Crochet Along for a Cause. We are making 1 hat per week to donate to a cancer center, school, or homeless shelter for 12 weeks. There’s always time to join! You can find all the details and hat patterns HERE.

A simple lovely pattern. Our group will use it. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Altered a little as I used a chunky weight yarn, but loved the outcome!
I have been crocheting for about a year now, I have some nice and neat patterns . I am going to give this pattern a try and see how it turns out. I would like to post here to show the final result.
Awesome! Thank you!
Lovely and so simple!
What size is this? Not sure it’s newborn? I’m looking for an 8-9 month size 😊
Hi! I think you can go up a hook size to make it a size larger 🙂
Needed easy, quick pattern for newborn twin grandgirls and this one provided both. THANK YOU ! Used 100% cotton yarn, dk weight (mild Arizona winters) and F hook for larger baby (6 lbs 8 oz). Made row 5 all puff stitches for added “style” and curlies on top just for fun look. Made rows 9-13 less than 45 stitches for wider facial opening. Will use everything the same for 4 lb sister except E hook instead. Hope some of this info helps others
