"This Way and That Way" Newborn Hat
By Julee Fort



Materials:
1 Skein Caron Simply Soft Baby
Size "G" Crochet Hook
Tapestry Needle

Gauge: The first 3 rounds of the pattern should measure about 3 1/2” across. If it's a little off it's ok.

Notes: Hat should fit a slightly larger newborns head. You can go down a hook size for a smaller size. I will have additional sizes up soon.

Instructions:
Round 1: Ch4, Make 14 Dc in 4th Chain from Hook. Sl St in top 3rd Ch of Beg Ch 4. (15 Dc)

(15 Ch2 Spaces, 15 Sc, 30 Dc)

Round 5: Ch1, (Sc, Ch2, 2 Dc) in each Ch2 Sp around including the first Ch2 Sp that was Sl St in. Sl St in top of first Sc and in next Ch2 Sp.

Round 14: Ch1, (Sc, 3 Dc) in each Ch2 Sp around including the first Ch2 Sp that was Sl St in. Sl St in top of first Sc.  (15 Sc, 45 Dc)

Fasten off and weave in both ends.

If you think the hat is a little long don't worry. It can be flipped up to shorten it. It looks very cute that way as well.

Hi, I would like to make this hat for my 18 month old granddaughter. Do you have instructions for different sizes?
