Whether taken at home or in a professional studio, you will happily return to these beautiful moments again and again!
What Yarn and Hook Do I Need?
To make this crochet baby hat, use medium-weight yarn and a 5.5 mm crochet hook. It can be cotton, acrylic, cotton-acrylic blend, or any yarn that you will find in your stash. Just make sure it has baby-friendly fiber content and a smooth soft texture. You will also need an extra hook in G size (4 mm) for the flower embellishment and some polyfil to stuff the hat.
What Size Is The Finished Mini Crochet Hat?
With this crochet pattern, you will create a miniature version of a cylinder hat that will work perfectly as a photo prop for newborns. The item features an elastic band that allows for comfortable and secure placement on the baby’s head. You will find so much joy watching photos of your little one wearing this cute homemade prop.
How Can I Adjust The Size For Older Kids?
This crochet hat prop was designed with babies in mind. However, you can very easily adjust its size by using different materials. Try using a bigger hook and thicker yarn to make it larger.
What Decorations Can I Add to This Hat?
The cool thing about this Newborn Top Hat For Photoshoots is that it’s customizable. You can embellish it with literally any motif that comes to your mind to match your baby’s gender or the photo shoot theme.
The designer provides two hat embellishments – a flower for the girls and a tie bow for the boys. Choose between these two options or personalize your prop hat with some other crochet appliques.
