This is a cute idea for a newborn hat. I really appreciate that the author has taken the trouble of listing not only the circumferences, but also the lengths of the various sized hats. I will make the leaves a lighter green (possibly two different shades), and instead of the button, attach a spiral rose heart or other small flowers. Not sure what Ill do for a boy version.
