Little Berry Crochet Hat

The Little Berry Crochet Hat is the perfect little treat for your preemie or baby this winter. This delectable design is worked up in all white and features a band of little red berries along the bottom of the hat, as well as a thin row of green to offset the stark white. This basic hat form is easy to work, but the intermediate difficulty comes into play when working the band of berries, so be sure to read the instructions. 

NotesNotes:
•Hat is worked from the brim up, make the foundation chain loosely to allow for stretching
•Starting chain at the beginning of the Round does NOT count as a stitch
•Each round is started in the same stitch as your starting chain
•The end of each round is joined by slip stitching in the first stitch of the round, not the starting chain
