Puff Stitch Crochet Baby Hat Pattern

Dabbles & Babbles new Puff Stitch Crochet Baby Hat is so adorable. It’s a really simple design that any new mom would love.

It uses the crochet puff stitch to create texture and is made with two colors to make the puffs really stand out.

I love this pattern because it’s a great opportunity to learn how to crochet a puff stitch. It’s a lot easier than it seems. And it’s fun.

This is one of the greatest crochet hat patterns for beginners. It’s so simple you’ll probably end up making several crochet baby hats before you’re done.

This easy crochet baby hat is made using Berroco Vintage DK yarn. It’s an acrylic wool nylon blend. It’s also machine washable which is ideal for baby garments. You never know what spills might happen.
