Strawberry Baby Beanie 

This baby hat is sized for newborns and can be created in under an hour. With a green leafy ‘topping’ and white ‘seeds’ on a red background, this strawberry themed baby beanie is an ideal gift for a newborn baby and is very easy to create. It requires only a small amount of yarn, meaning you can use up scraps and create a beautiful present. It would also make an ideal project to make and sell, which is allowed as long as you give clear credit to my pattern and Cherry and Crochet Designs.
