Simple Crocheted Sea Shell Baby Bonnet To Whip Up For The New Baby!

With a new baby in the family I have been crocheted up a storm, well actually the storm has passed as it is now time to get on with other pressing projects, but right after Succot, I took an entire week plus to just relax and crochet! It was truly wonderful, and I'll be sharing all the projects with you, as well as the amazing free patterns that I used for all the items. This sea shell baby bonnet is so great looking, and so simple to whip up, I think I need to have a bunch on hand honestly! Truly, you can whip this up in the car in an hour, so get some yarn print out the pattern and tuck it in your purse! (good advice to self as well....} I made this from some cotton/acrylic blend yarn that maybe isn't the best choice for a newborn, but so it goes, one can't always pick a project, buy the yarn and then crochet, which is the best way to go. In my case I bought the yarn and then looked for projects, which I will not do next time if I can help it, as then the sizes don't quite match up. Meaning the guage is off is your yarn is thicker than that recommended for the project. Keep on reading for the pattern info.....

Crocheted Newborn Baby Bear Hat

Sometimes crocheting a gift for a newborn baby just seems like the best way to show your love, and this newborn baby bear hat is the perfect little baby hat as it is quick and adorable! I fortunately had a project in progress that I unraveled in order to make this hat in the perfect blush pink color, and I just love the results. This hat is of course a winter hat, though one can use chunky cotton for a summer version that would be equally adorable. Once you make this newborn hat, you'll want to make them in sizes for all the little ones in your family. So let's share the love and crochet some newborn baby hats shall we?

A Crocheted Canary Beanie Hat Makes A Great Costume, Or Just Because.

A crocheted beanie can be decorated in so many fun ways to use as part of a costume or to make cold weather dressing a little bit fun. This fun canary beanie, which could of course be just about any kind of bird you like, just change the colors a bit, was crocheted for my daughter for a Purim costume quite a few years ago, but it still looks good, so I though I'd share it with you again. And this shabbat is shabbat shira in which we celebrate the birds, so the timing seems right!

If you'd like to crochet a hat for an eagle costume, which I'm actually lending to a girl neighbor this year, check out my post and get crocheting, Purim is just around the corner! And of course, this beanie was worn together with a crocheted costume cape, so check that out as well.

Keep on readin' for tips for making this fun hat!

One Hour Crocheted Baby Beanie Pattern, 0-12 Months, With A Button On Top!

After realizing that the sweet little one hour crocheted bonnet that I made last week wasn't quite right for the new baby boy in the extended family, I decided to make the quickest little crocheted baby hat that I know: the one-hour crocheted baby beanie, with a little crocheted button cover (omiting the actual button)on top. Okay, the addition of that button and weaving in the ends due to the color changes will add more time to the project, but it is still a quickie, especially after you've made one and don't need to refer to any instructions!

Crocheted Baby Bonnet With Ties That You Can Make In An Hour!

There is a new baby boy in the extended family which means it is time to get back to some crocheting so that I'll have a handmade gift when we travel a few hours away for the Bris! I have been known to crochet gifts while in the car on the way to visit the new baby, but this time I figured I'd get a bit of a head start so that I can properly wrap the gift, rather than fumbling with paper in the car!

Crocheted Canary Beanie, For A Costume Or Just Because!

A crocheted beanie can be decorated in so many fun ways to use as part of a costume or to make cold weather dressing a little bit fun. Last Purim I crocheted a canary costume for my daughter and somehow did not have time to share it with you, not to mention that the timing just wasn't quite right. So I now introduce my crocheted canary beanie!

Another Crocheted Ear Flap Baby Hat, But This Time With A Pom Pom!

When the ground is covered in snow, and things in your town have not returned to normal after a huge storm, what better idea than to sit in a cozy spot and whip up a crocheted baby hat with ear flaps and a pom pom?

Super Simple Crocheted Baby Hat With Ear Flaps

Here's a super simple yet great looking little baby hat with ear flaps, that I made to go with my crocheted scallop stitch baby sweater. Though truthfully, I made this hat in newborn size, while the sweater won't be worn for a good few months. So in the car on the way to the hospital, I made another hat, in a different color and a bigger size, to be worn with the sweater. And truthfully these hats are so quick to whip up, giving a few in a few sizes is a great idea. 

Crocheted Ear Warmer With Giant Flower

 

Crocheted ear warmers are quick to make and look great. A fun winter accessory that you can whip up as a great gift or make a bunch for the family. And of course, topped with a giant crocheted flower, your crocheted ear warmer is just irresistible!

Crocheted Children's Cloche With Giant Flower

Here's a fun crocheted hat with a giant flower to keep things a little cheerful right about now. Winter has finally arrived in our mountain town in Northern Israel, so I just had to crochet my daughter a few cold weather accessories. Plus she's now ready to wear large flowers on her head so I just couldn't resist! I decided to go with one color for the hat and the flower, but you could certainly have fun playing with color, why not?
