Simple Purple Baby Hat Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Purple Baby Hats Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I was  asked if I had a quick and easy infant hat crochet Pattern  that could be used
 for the "Purple Baby Hat Project".

I was not sure what the purple Baby Hat project was, 
so I did some research. 
It is an important  and needed project. 
I also had not  heard of "Shaken Baby Syndrome".
Once I read about it, I knew I needed to get this
 crochet Baby hat pattern out there.

"Asking knitters and crocheters to make purple infant hats as part of a campaign to stop shaken baby syndrome and infant abuse."

Here are some Facts About SBS
 or Shaken baby Syndrome.
"SBS is a form of child abuse that occurs when an adult or older child violently shakes a baby or young child.
It is estimated that 1,000-3,000 children in the 
United States suffer from SBS each year.
One fourth of the victims of SBS die, and 80 percent 
of survivors suffer from permanent brain damage."

I decided it was time for an update!
And I added the 6 month size.

When I updated The Pattern.
Red Heart Yarn sent me this wonderful yarn.

babyhugs yarn
It has been tested for any harmful substances.

See the seal of Approval!
This yarn comes in Worsted weight (4) 
and Light weight (3) yarn
It is amazingly soft, and glides on the hook easily.
And has really fun colors that blend well together.
As well as the basic pastels.
 For This Bonnet Pattern I used the Light Weight (3)
