Steps to Crochet a Newborn Hat:

Magic Circle:

• Wrap yarn tail around your two fingers to create an X.
• Flip your hand and place a finger over the intersection to hold.
• Insert hook under the first strand, grab the second one, twist, pull through, and loop it to create an adjustable ring.

Setup Row:

• Chain 2 (this counts as the first double crochet).
• Work 11 more double crochet (DC) into the magic circle.
• You should have 12 DCs in total.
• Pull yarn to close the circle and join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.

Increase Round 1:

• Chain 2 (counts as the first DC).
• Work a DC into the base of chain 2.
• Work 2 DCs in each stitch around.
• You should have 24 DCs by the end of the round.
• Join with a slip stitch to the first DC.

Increase Round 2:

• Chain 2 (counts as first DC).
• Work a single DC in the next stitch, then 2 DCs in the following stitch. Repeat from * around.
• Complete the round to have 36 stitches in total.
• Join with a slip stitch to the first DC.

Work Even:

• For the next three rows, chain 2 and work one DC in each stitch around (36 DCs).
• Join each row with a slip stitch to the first DC.

Decrease Round:

• Chain 2 (counts as first DC).
• Work 5 DCs.
• For the decrease: yarn over, insert hook into the front loop of the next two stitches consecutively, yarn over and pull through, yarn over and complete as a DC.
• Continue the pattern: 6 DCs, then a decrease, around the hat.

Brim of the Hat:

• Slip stitch and chain 2.
• Flip the hat inside out for working the brim.
• For the brim: working in the back loops only, double crochet around.
• For a clean finish, do 31 more DCs for a total of 32 stitches including the first chain two as a DC.

Finishing Edge:

• Chain 1, and work a single crochet in the back loops only around the edge to create a ridge.
• Cut yarn and weave in the ends securely.

Tips:

• Always count your stitches to ensure consistency.
• Weave in ends as you work, particularly when working for items like newborn hats to avoid knots.
