Available Sizes: This adorable baby hat pattern is designed for three sizes: (Newborn-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months), ensuring a snug fit for little ones as they grow.
Head Circumference: The actual head circumferences for the sizes are approximately (13”~14”, 14”~17”, 16”~19”). This makes it a great gift for newborns and young infants!

Hat Height: The height of the hats is approximately (5”, 5.5”, 6.5”), providing just the right amount of coverage.
Gauge: Achieve a perfect fit with a gauge of 22 stitches x 30 rows = 4” x 4” in Stockinette stitch. Check your gauge for accurate sizing!

For the main White Color (A), you will need approximately 43 to 86 yards, and for the accent Blue Color (B), about 7 to 14 yards are recommended. (Note: The crochet flower is excluded from these yardage estimates.)
Suggested Yarn: I recommend using Lion Brand Martha Stewart Crafts Extra Soft Wool Blend. For Color A, choose 500 Bakery Box White, and for Color B, opt for 506 Igloo to create a delightful and warm hat.
