Urban X Hat CAL Day 2

Newborn Crochet -A- Long

I created this design for my brother but found the texture so lovely, I adapted the sizes to fit the whole family; men, women, and children.

Notes:

This pattern is worked from the brim to the crown. The brim is worked flat, while the body is worked in the round, without turning.

Beginning chain 1 is not counted as a stitch, while the beginning chain 2 is counted as the first double crochet throughout the pattern.

This hat will comfortably stretch from 2 to 3”. This version is fitted and sized only for Newborn. For additional sizes and full PDF download, please click here.
