Crochet Baby Hat Patterns
Crochet baby hat patterns are sized from preemie to toddler, and a newborn head measures roughly 13–14 inches around. Soft, washable yarns such as baby acrylic or cotton are the best choices. Baby hats use very little yarn, often under 100 yards, making them quick gifts and a popular charity donation project.

What size is a newborn crochet hat?
A newborn crochet hat fits a head circumference of about 13–14 inches and measures around 5–6 inches from crown to brim. Make the hat about half an inch to an inch smaller than the head so it stays on without being tight.
Frequently asked questions
Should baby hats have pom-poms?
Pom-poms are cute but can loosen; attach them very securely or leave them off for young babies.
Can I donate crochet baby hats?
Many hospitals and charities accept them; check their yarn and size requirements first.
