Newborn Ruffle Hat Crochet Pattern

Newborn Ruffle Hat Crochet Pattern

For this hat, I wanted to use the ruffle stitch, but I also wanted to make a sun hat to keep sun off of little ones precious faces. This Newborn Ruffle Hat is made of super fine yarn with an E hook. Add your own embellishments like a bow, ribbon, flower, or any other small applique. It is great for a day to the park, beach, or vacation!

To help you make this pattern, I have added a video tutorial at the bottom. I hope y'all enjoy!
