It’s always a good idea to measure the baby’s head before starting your project to ensure that the hat will fit and it will keep the little ears warm.

Once you have the measurement of the baby’s head circumference, you can use it as a guide to choose the appropriate size for your crochet beanie pattern or to adjust the pattern to fit perfectly.
