Two free newborn crochet hat patterns


So it's that glorious day of the week again.. FRIDAY! All together now with the sigh of relief 1,2,3 *Ahhhhhhhhhhh* Not really many better ways to spend a Friday afternoon than crocheting (in my opinion anyway) and today I've whipped up two newborn hat patterns for you... and yes these are more hats to add to Baby Shmoogle Bean's ever-growing stash. I am fast approaching the bottom of my scrap yarn box which is absolutely horrible because at the moment we don't have the spare cash for new yarn to start refilling it with :( Such is life! We make do with what we have right? I made both of these with one less-than-half ball of yarn and one even-less-than-half ball and as it turns out there was JUST enough. Anyhoo they're both quick to work up and go nuts with colour combos! Enjoy! I'm off to make some more with what's left of my scraps :)
