0-3 Month Frog Hat

Recently I designed the  Newborn Princess Hat. When taking the photo I took advantage of a nearby frog to add my logo into the picture. My cousin (who is the pregnant one) loves frogs and always has as far back as I  can remember. Anyways, after taking the photo of the princess hat, I knew I had to do my best at a frog hat.

Hope you have a hoppin time with this free crochet pattern for a 0-3 month frog hat!

When I first learned how to crochet, I found a great tutorial to teach me how to surface crochet. I used this tutorial to know how to make my smile. If you do not want to surface slip stitch for your smile, you can always sew a smile on with your yarn needle.

Once your smile is made, attach the cheek circles to both sides of the smile.
