I love those little lemon, pumpkin and apple hats for babies, so I designed an easy and quick pattern to create these types of hats! Just use this pattern and choose the color of yarn you want to make for either the lemon, pumpkin, orange or apple. I used red yarn for this lovely “Red Apple” Crochet Baby Hat!!!

Leaf Pattern
(Make 2)
Chain 11 . In the fourth ch from the hook, work 4 dc. Work 1 dc in each of the next 4 ch. In the next ch, work 1 hdc. In the next ch, work 1 sc. In the last ch, 1 sl st, 1 ch, 1 sl st. Now work up the other side of the leaf. 1 sc in first ch. 1 hdc in next ch. 1 dc in each of the next 4 ch. 4 dc in the last ch. Do not cut yarn.
To add the stem, use same yarn and ch 5. Turn and 1 sc in each chain. Sl st in the first stitch of the leaf. Fasten off and keep 15 inch length of yarn to sew leaf onto hat.
Attaching Leaves to Hat
Using the photograph for leaf placement, sew both leaves to the hat. To attach, start at the bottom of the leaf (not the tip) sew right along center line (vein) of each leaf. When you get to the tip, turn round and sew again right up the vein again over the first row of stitching. Weave in end of yarn on one leaf. Trim off end of yarn on one of the leaves. Be sure to have the stems at the top center of the hat. When both leaves are attached, use the remaining yarn from one of the leaves to sew the stems together. Sew right through the center of the stem and then wrap the yarn around the base of the stem. Fasten off securely and weave in loose ends of yarn.

Can I have instructions for a bigger hat? I.e 3/6, 6/9 and 12 months
Hmm, sorry if you get this twice! This hat is just too cute! But my niece is 5 months old, how can I make it bigger? (it's probably really easy…but I'm a newbie lol!)
LOVE THIS PATTERN…. THANK YOU!
Switch to a larger needle. I used and I needle
My yarn was baby weight, so I used two strands together.
This pattern is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing! I made two for my sister in Japan that will have twins in about 6 months. She will love them and I'm sure her Japanese family will adore them.
Thank you so much for this pattern, it's adorable!! Can hardly wait to gift it to my daughter's best friend who is having her first baby in October…in Michigan!

It took me about an hour to make this hat. It's absolutely adorable! Thanks so much.
Thank you for all your Ideas! I am 75 and I make a TON of baby hats – most are for the Newborn Nursery at the Hospital in nearby Waco, Tx. There are an avg. of 425 babies born each month!) I do sell some, so I can buy more yarn to make more hats, so I DO stay busy! I also make them for the children's hospital in Temple, Tx.
The more fun ideas the better, and the nurses have so much fun matching the hats to the different babies!
God Bless you!

As a parent, I would like to pick the idea and instruction from here. Regarding baby toys and baby outfits, we should choose the best one of the best brand; but it is quite better to choose handmade products. Here this article also describes the whole instructions on how to prepare baby hats. Thanks for providing such wonderful tips and I hope, I can prepare a suitable baby hat while following the above instructions.
Do you have an adjustment for a 12-18 month old? I would love to make this for my little
Infants can never have excessively numerous hats. The truth of the matter is at some point or another, children will grow up, and this might be the main time to dress them up with no contention.Best baby sun hats
I also would like to make this hat in bigger sizes. 6 to 12 month. 12 to 18 months. How would i increase the pattern to fit those s8zes
