This beanie is perfect for a baby 3-9 months. The moss stitch allows for an illusion of colorwork and striping that is much easier than Fair Isle or tapestry crochet and creates a stretchier, cozier fabric. The pattern includes photos and diagrams to help you along the way. This hat is created in one piece with no seaming and works up quickly for a great baby shower gift! Pair it with the matching cardigan for a cute and cozy outfit.
