Strawberry Crochet Hat Pattern | Newborn Hat
The thing that I love most about baby hats is how tiny and adorable they are. This strawberry crochet hat pattern is perfect for any newborns (or pregnant women) in your life, and it is super quick and easy to make.
You can modify this hat pattern, too, to make bigger strawberries. My 6-year-old asked me for a strawberry hat, so I will be making a child sized one soon!

I tried a V stitch and a straight stitch for the seeds on my 2 strawberry hats. I'm unsure which I like better. They're both pretty cute...
