I wanted to share my chart for sizing crochet hats. I came up with this chart by researching average head sizes. Sizing crocheted hats is not an exact science, but maybe this will help you get started. Enjoy!

Baby Pixie Hat 0-3 Months - My First Knitting Pattern!!

Here is my first knitting pattern ever.  Hope you like it! I just made it up as I went, but am pretty happy with the may it turned out. If I were to make this hat again, I would start with 24 sts and omit row 13.  I think that would make it more of a newborn size. Here is the video I followed to learn how to use Double Pointed Needles.  This video was made by the fiber artist from whom I purchased the yarn in the photo.



So here is the pattern! Enjoy! Please share pictures if you make this! :-)

This pattern can also be downloaded from Ravelry Here, Crafsy Here,
