My latest project was a cute little hat for my best friend's baby girl, Emma Kate.
This is my first-ever attempt at crocheting a hat, and it was surprisingly easy. I followed a tutorial by Aesthetic Nest who explained the pattern step-by-step. This tutorial is great-- it even provides patterns for different sizes. I used a size G crochet hook and followed the pattern for size 3-6 month. Side note: I think this size is closer to newborn... perhaps my stitch is a little tight?
This project only used a little bit of yarn-- I'm not sure exactly how much. I used scrap yarn left over from other projects:
- Red Heart Super Saver, Orchid
- Caron Simply Soft, Off-White
The only variation I made was on the flower. Rather than crochet the entire project in one color, I crocheted the first layer of the flower in cream and the second layer in purple. I really like how it turned out!
Well, hope this gives you some inspiration... Have stitching!

Update: Emma Kate was welcomed into the world on November 27. At 7-1/2 pounds, her hat fit perfectly!
