First up, Sweet Little Hat. This hat pattern is written in sizes from Preemie to 3T! It has a simple look with a crochet “button” for an accent. Uses 1 skein for most sizes, 2 for the largest, of Valley Yarns Superwash DK. The accent “button” can be made with about 12 yards of something in your stash.

One of my personal favorite baby gifts to crochet are these Sweet Little Mittens, which go perfectly with the hat above. This pattern is available in sizes from Newborn to 2T. One set uses just 1 skein of Valley Yarns Superwash DK and the accent buttons will only need a small amount of yarn you can probably find in your stash. These work up pretty quickly, so if you don’t have much time before the baby shower, this is a great choice!
