Free Baby Hat Crochet Pattern

Are you the proud owner of Sunflower Cottage Crochet’s popular Little Dots Collection? Then, you’re going to love this precious pattern for crochet preemie baby hats!

Whether you’re making a special hat for that new grandbaby or want to make something extra-special for a preemie or newborn in need, this easy yet sweet crochet beanie hat can be finished in no time at all.

INSPIRATION BEHIND THE DESIGN

The Little Dots Preemie Baby hat has been designed specifically to go with the other items in the Little Dots Collection. They were released as part of my annual charity event.

The dots add an element of cuteness that is just adorable, and unisex! And the bobbles are designed to flatten when lain on so they are not uncomfortable in the slightest.

The Little Dots Preemie Baby hat crochet pattern is worked from the brim up and in the round so there is minimal seaming (only to close the top of the hat once completed).

CONSTRUCTION OF THE DESIGN

Not only is this one a great pattern for beginners, it is an easy 2 row repeat that works up quickly in 3 weight (DK) yarn and a 4mm hook.

THE YARN

For my versions, I used Stylecraft Special DK. I like to use this yarn because it is readily available here in the UK and comes in a huge range of colours.

Written for preemies from 2-6 lbs you will need between 50-79 yard of yarn per hat. So it is perfect for using up your part used skeins too!
