All babies need a hat
a handmade crochet hat, of course
and made by you!
It is a fact we humans lose a lot of heat through our heads and hats help to keep the warmth in our bodies.
In autumn and winter babies especially, need to wear hats whilst outside, they just cannot regulate their body temperatures until about 6 months old.
So, I've come up with a new crochet hat design for your babies head and I have added a cute pair of mittens to match.
Autumn Time!
I love autumn here in the UK, the cooler days and the fresh breeze and the autumnal colours are just starting but the one thing you see a lot of at this time of year in home gardens, along the roadside and amongst the hedgerows are the colourful berries.
Berries, berries everywhere, there are rowan berries, blackberries, rose hips, hawthorn berries, sloe berries, elderberries and many others. The abundance of berries this year is amazing, yellows, reds, blacks, blues, orange and white such a beautiful sight along the way and some are good enough to eat!
All these wonderful and colourful berries and the onset of cooler days, has inspired me to design a super special little Berry Hat with matching Mittens.
AUTUMN BERRIES Baby Hat and Mittens
I designed a cute little berry top hat with a small twig of berries in each panel around the body of the hat and then added a smaller version of the berries to the mittens.
Yarn Used
This hat and mittens are made using James C. Brett "Pure Merino" DK and crocheted with a 4.5mm hook.
The hat will fit up to 16in (40.5cm) plus head circumference.
Hints on making a smaller/larger size are included in the pattern.
