Cranberries & Cream Easy Baby Beanie Pattern

"This easy newborn, and 0-3 mos. baby beanie crochet pattern is a perfect quick crochet project for beginners, or for those who want to donate lots of little hats to charity or their local NICU. Feel free to change the colors of this beanie up as you see fit.  Since this crochet pattern is so basic it can be made for either boys or girls. Some NICU's are choosey about the kind of yarn they want the hats made out of. Call ahead to the hospital to find out if that is the case in your area."
