Wowzers! Where has January gone? I feel like 2020 has just begun, and it’s almost February!!! With February comes pinks and reds and hearts and chocolates … everything we think of when we think of Valentine’s Day. And what better than a sweet little crocheted hat for your baby girl (… or a friend’s baby girl) for Valentine’s Day.
The Simply Sweet Baby Girl Hat was one of my first patterns to design. Since I still absolutely love it, I decided to give the pattern a little bit of an update and add more sizes! Now, the crochet pattern includes sizes that range from Preemie all the way to Toddler/Child!!! And even better, the Preemie/Newborn Small crochet pattern is FREE below!!!
The entire crochet pattern is available in PDF format on both Etsy and Ravelry. Click on the link below to view the crochet pattern in Etsy.
