    I pinned this hat tute on my baby crochet board so more people would find your pics.

    If you would rather I didn’t, just contact me via the addy posted on the footer of my website and I’ll take it right down.

      Yes. Newborn size is just slightly smaller than 0-3 months. Most people prefer to skip newborn size and go straight to 0-3 months unless they know the baby will be LESS than 8 lbs.
