This woodland newborn beanie is perfect for the new arrival, the main part of the hat is made in an easy double crochet stitch with the folded back brim crochet in a textured stitch.
I have edged it in a contrast color with a matching pom-pom and decorated with an animal motif, but a wooden button would also look just as good. Add it to any outfit for days out.
