Brighten a baby’s day with these adorable Baby Happy Hats!

Published in 1998 by the American School of Needlework and designed by Jean Leinhauser & Kelly Robinson, this out-of-print booklet features nine whimsical, worsted-weight crochet hats that are as fun to make as they are to see on a little one. Each design includes clear instructions for two sizes — 0 to 3 months and 6 to 9 months — and most include cute ear flaps with ties.

The collection includes:

• Baby Bear Hugs – cozy brown bear with perky ears
• Cabbage Cutie – layered green ruffles that look like cabbage leaves
• Cauliflower Kid – textured popcorn “cauliflower” with stem and leaves
• Flower Top – cheerful yellow and pink 3-D flower clusters
• Melon Munchkin – sweet pink watermelon hat with black “seeds”
• Pumpkin Head – classic orange pumpkin with green stem
• Rosey Posey – pretty variegated rose with white ear flaps
• Sluggo – playful baseball-style cap with black brim and “stitches”
• Sunflower Sweetie – golden sunflower with layered petals and green neck ties

Perfect for baby showers, photo props, or just everyday cuteness, these designs use basic worsted weight yarn and are suitable for confident beginners to intermediate crocheters. A delightful vintage find for anyone who loves making special things for babies!
