the sewing group I'm in sends newborn hats and booties to The Eku Hospital in Nigeria. these are the patterns that I like to use:
Booties pattern by Paula Daniele from Crochet Hooks You. these are pretty simple to do, and they look great. she does her double crochet 2 together different, but I'm sure any way will do fine.
I can't seem to find the exact hat pattern I use from memory, but it could be that the pattern in my head is a mixture of a bunch of different hats I've made!
round 1: make a magic circle, ch 2 (counts as 1st dc), dc 9 times into loop, sl st into top of ch 2 to join, pull tail tight to close hole (10 sts)
round 2: ch 2, dc into same st, 2dc into each st around, sl st into top of ch 2 to join (20 sts)
round 3: ch 2, dc into same st, *dc into next st, 2 dc into next st, repeat from * to end, sl st into top of ch 2 to join (30 sts)
round 4: ch 2, dc into same st, *dc into next two sts, 2 dc into next st, repeat from * to end, sl st into top of ch 2 to join (40 sts)
round 5: ch 2, dc into each st around, sl st into top of ch 2 to join (40 sts)
repeat round 5 until desired length is reached (I did 7" to have enough for a cuff), fasten off, and weave in ends.
I've attached buttons, flowers, and bows to the hats I've made, but they can definitely stay plain and still be cute. I also use different yarns and hook sizes, so depending on what I use I check this chart to see if the sizing is good.
