Crochet Hats for Babies
Crochet baby hats are sized by head circumference, from about 13 inches for newborns to 19 inches for toddlers. Bonnets, beanies with animal ears, and pixie hats are popular styles. Choose soft, washable yarn, make the hat slightly smaller than the head for a secure fit, and skip small attached parts for young babies.

What is the difference between a baby bonnet and a beanie?
A baby bonnet covers the back of the head and ears and fastens under the chin with ties, leaving the forehead open, while a beanie is a round hat that covers the top of the head down to the ears or brow. Bonnets are especially practical for newborns.
