I have lots of friends having babies this year. Here is a photo of the first layette set. I just learned to crochet a last month so this is my first attempt at crocheting a hat. Actually 2nd. I followed the pattern for infant but it turned out big enough for my 2yr old nephew so I did a second and scaled it down for a baby.
Here are directions and links to the patterns for the headband and ladybug hat.
And here’s a picture of the beautiful baby girl wearing the hat.

Ha ha… I was just surfing around and took a look at these reviews. I can’t believe there’s still this much fascination. Thanks for writing about this.
