Working from the crown downward allows you to watch the hat take shape as you crochet, while the granny stripe stitch adds lovely texture and visual interest. The repeating pattern is enjoyable to work and results in a soft, comfortable fabric.
The ribbed brim provides a snug and cozy fit, helping keep babies warm during cooler weather. Included are five sizes so you can make hats to fit growing little ones or create matching sets for siblings. The size range also makes this pattern ideal for gift giving.
