Tot Hats Are Everywhere!

Crocheted hats/caps for babes and tots are always popular.  They typically work up quickly, are practical, and just add to the overall cuteness factor for the kiddies.  I’ve rounded up a few that are especially adorable.  The dinosaur hat has ‘googly’ eyes that will be hit with little guys.

Bev always has cute baby patterns on her site.  This batch of hats start from a very basic pattern which you can ‘doll up’ however you want.  Look at the impact the yarn choice makes in each cute little hat.

Finally, one of my favorite hats for baby is an earflap hat.  These are simple to make, can use up a lot of scraps or be worked up in fancy yarns.  Plus, you can personalize each hat with the addition of small flowers, baseball motifs, or other appliques you can make from any fridgie pattern.  And, the best thing is that they keep those sweet little ears very warm.  Can’t go wrong with that!  This free pattern from Redheart is very customizable.  Have fun and make a bunch for your kids or for charity.  These make great summer projects since they are small, work up quickly, and easily portable.  You can find some other free patterns for earflap hats here.
