Newborn Christmas Sparkle Hats

Newborn/Infant Hats

These are some Christmas hats that I have been working on the past few evenings for a charity named  Bella's Babies. This is a wonderful charity that provides warm hats, booties, blankies, burial gowns for the babies born at Southside Hospital on Long Island. Apparently over 200 babies are born every month at this hospital to women who do not even have anything warm to take baby home in! Once I read about this charity, I had to help.
These hats and more like them will also go to another charity group in GA called Sweet Lil Peas, which is a group that donates to hospitals across the country for premature infants. Below is another style hat that I'm working on for the lil girly girls!

Aren't they just adorable??!! I can just imagine the little babies that will go home wearing them! I encourage all of you to visit these charity sites and read up on them, and see if you cant donate a few hats or so! These hats are super easy to crochet! Here is my pattern below:

I used I love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby.
size 5.0 hook

chain 3
1st row: 12 dc in last chain from hook. ss in top of first dc, chain 2
2nd row: 2 dc in each dc around (24 dc) ss in first dc, chain 2
3rd row: 1 dc in first dc, 2dc in next stitch. repeat this patten around. ss to first dc. chain 2
4th -11th row: dc in each stitch around, ss to beginning dc and chain 2.
on 11th row, I ss to beginning dc and ch 1. Then I worked a crapstitch around, which is essentially a single chain in reverse.
Then you can embellish the hat anyway you would like! a pom pom on or flowers on the side for girls! Its so easy.

Happy Hooking!
