This is a beautiful idea! I’ll have to fish out my crochet hook

This is a great idea to not only connect with your child but give them a nice welcoming gift after the birth

Ohhh this is so gorgeous! And so is your son!

Isn’t it gorgeous?! I just don’t understand how today’s parents can’t like hand crocheted and hand knitted items. I think they’re gorgeous

I wasn’t a great beanie knitter although I did some when are kids were a bit older. I used left over wool and knitted some for children rushed to hospital in an emergency from a warm climate to a cold one as sometimes they had to stay in a cold climate area for a few days before being well enough to travel home to the warmer climate. I worked with a lady whose husband was having chemo. She was knitting beanies for patients who lost their hair. Some of the patients were parents of children having chemo and there was other children to care for and literally had no time to spare. By the time the Mum cared for the entire family and all the necessary household chores that couldn’t be left the Mums needed some sleep to have to ability for care for their families. If they got sick from not resting who would look after their families. Sometimes the Dads worked away during the week so they weren’t home to help with the care or chores.

What a beautiful baby. The beanie is not too shabby either. Might have to check out the pattern

I love crochet and knitted things. I can do both and made heaps of wooly gifts for my grandson before he was born

Well done!!! I am hopeless at crochet as despite much practise I never could get the tension even. I knitted some – a little longer than that so it protected their ears when we had to venture outdoors. No earache from the cold wind.

What a wonderful craft =)

Gorgeous bub and gorgeous beanie!

oh my gosh! what a cute little boy and this is such a good photo where he is smiling in his sleep. i love how babies do that!

Cute hat, but unfortunately my crafting skills are not in the crochetiing/ knitting sort of arena.

This is beautiful.. I would love to learn to crochet but just don’t know where to start or go for help

Crocheting reminds me of my gorgeous nana.

Love the look of the hat, and if my arthritis in my hands will let me, I’d love to try making this. But the link to the pattern doesn’t work. Can anyone help with this?

How cute is this beanie?

really cute beanie, and the little guy looks very happy in it too

what a fantastic little cap, thank you for sharing where you got the pattern.

So cute, I found the hat our youngest was given in the special care nursery and it’s so small at first I wondered why I had doll’s hat in my drawer!

So adorable!!! I would love to learn to make something like this
