How To Make Your Own Cute Crochet Kids Hat
It’s been very cold lately, and I wanted something that was warm but that she also wouldn’t pull of her head as soon as my back was turned.
The solution was to make something I knew she’d love.
I let her decide the colors and decoration, and I hope you like the results as much as we do.
But if it’s not quite your kid’s cup of tea, then this simple pattern is easy to follow, but also hopefully simple to adapt too.
Choose a yarn color and decorations that your kid prefers, and you will have a new cute crochet kids hat that is unique to them too.
