Basic Baby Hat Patterns – Preemie To Toddler
These Basic Baby Hat patterns are perfect handmade gift ideas for baby showers and birthdays. It’s also a sweet project to make if you’re planning to donate some precious baby hats to your local hospitals.
You can whip this up in an hour or less, so it’s very easy to make a lot of them. And there’s an available hat size for each baby age group since this pattern comes in 6 sizes — from preemie to toddler.
Aside from being a quick and beginner-friendly pattern, I also love that this design is highly customizable. You can add your personal touch to it by simply adding embellishments or playing around with its color scheme.
