Watermelon Baby Beanie
This adorable Watermelon Baby Beanie is great for keeping your baby's head nice and warm. This is a simple crochet pattern that would be great for a weekend project or making crocheted hats for charity. If you're feeling extra creative, you can weave little black beads throughout the hat to look like seeds! This crochet hat for baby is easy for beginners and can easily be completed as you watch your favorite movie or TV show. Work the hat up in 2 colors as shown, or create one solid-colored hat by using just 1 color of yarn.
