Crochet Baby Hat – Not Necessarily a Hard Job

If you are a crochet enthusiast, you are probably aware of crochet baby hats. Crochet is a fun and addictive craft that can also be used to make gifts, decorations and even clothing items for your baby or children. This is a great way to get your creative juices flowing and spend time with your child as well. There are some simple things that you can do to make these hats even more fashionable. You just have to know the basics of crochet and then everything else will fall into place.

One of the most important things to remember when making a crochet baby hat is the diameter of the crochet hook you use. The diameter will determine how tightly or loosely you make the hat. Crochet hooks come in all different sizes so you should make sure to choose a hook that is the right size for the diameter of the crochet hook you are using. This will ensure that the hat will not come undone later on down the road because the hook itself might be too large or small. Remember, it is better to have a hook that is too loose than one that is too tight.

Once you have the crochet hook chosen, you need to start crocheting and after you have completed one round, you will then want to switch to the double crochet stitch (st’s) and make a looping motion with your hook so that you can then pull up the thread to make a closed loop (ss) and then again start crocheting. This is where it gets pretty tricky but once you have gotten the hang of this technique, you should find that it will come naturally to make a variety of different hats. Once you have the first few stitches added to the hat, you can then try turning the hat so that the last stitch of the first round becomes the first stitch of the next round and so forth. Soon enough, you will be making hats and bandanas out of any number of different sized yarns and will find that you can crochet even when the mood takes you.
