WOW!!! Here is the first crochet pattern I have ever written down! I've crocheted with my grandma since I can remember, but I always just did it. This is my first pattern. Because of this, even though t is super easy and quick, for now I will only recommend it to more intermediate crocheters. I have checked and rechecked it and made many hats from it, so I have tried to make it as correct and clear as possible, but if you make this and have any suggestions for clarity or correctness, please contact me at rika[underscore]24[at]yahoo[dot]com.
You know those little crochet baby beanies that everyone weaves the ribbon through and attaches cute little bows and flowers? They are super popular as photography props right now. Anyways, I saw one in a magazine and didn't realize how popular it was, but decided to try to crochet one myself....then realized they were everywhere! So, even though you can totally buy them in lots of different colors, here is a pattern I worked out so you can make one yourself. I've only seen them for sale in solid colors, so with this pattern you can do variegated yarn, change colors, anything you can think of!
This pattern has graduated sized for Preemie, NB, 3-6M, 9-12M, 18M, and 24M. Have fun!!
