Every new baby needs a beanie to wear on the way home from the hospital. This free newborn baby beanie crochet pattern is very simple and easy to follow. The hat folds up so it is great when you have no clue what shape the baby's head will be.
Supplies
Size I/9- 5.5 hook.
I used Baby Bee's 4ply medium weight Hushabye Ombre yarn with the camo beanie and I used 4 ply worsted weight I Love this Yarn with the peach pom pom beanie.

Thanks It so easy …..happy with my baby girl beanie……
It doesn’t take long at all to whip up does it? I’m glad you like it and found it to be as easy as I did. 🙂
I love the camouflage colors in the boy beanie!! These are so cute and look so soft!
I’ve not been crocheting for very long. I’ve tried in the past to crochet newborn beanie hats and they always came out to small. Thanks so very much for your Free patterns.. They are awesome and very easy and come out the size they need to be. I’m making up alot of these hats in different colors cuz my sister is having her 2nd set of twins and they are going to need lots of hats.
Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! The reason I designed this beanie is because I realized how different every newborns head is. Its very hard to match up with the shape and size. But with this pattern, since it not only folds up but is super soft and stretchy, it is a lot safer to make.
I LOVE YOUR PATTERNS!!!!
Thank you!! <3
I just love these hats.. They are easy and quick to make and very easy to make different sizes. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
Thank you so much for posting this pattern! It’s really helping out with a project I’ve been working on. I hope you don’t mind me using it for this! I will credit you when I post about your pattern 🙂
Love the pattern. Not sure what I did but it looks so small. I’m terrible at baby items.
What does yours measure across?
Just made a beanie, seriously such a simple amazing pattern. I’ll definitely be making more! Thanks for sharing the pattern
What are the instructions to crochet a magic circle? I would love to make the Welcome Home Baby hat.
Thank you for the sizes I will start to make them for the hospitals.
