Hopscotch Free Preemie Crochet Hat

Add to Stash

Crocheters often find immense joy in creating items for others, and crafting for premature babies is a particularly heartfelt way to give back. The “Hopscotch” design is a sweet and quick-to-make crochet hat pattern that uses minimal yarn, providing comfort to the smallest of babies and their families. This is the second preemie hat pattern by Green Fox Farms Designs, following the “Labyrinth Lullaby Free Preemie Crochet Cap.” Both patterns are specifically designed to be super soft, cuddly, and warm for tiny premature heads, making them an interesting and rewarding project for any crocheter.
