Darling Newborn Hat & Bow Crochet Pattern

I've always felt that babies are a blessing. They are a promise of love, hope and a beautiful future, all wrapped up into one warm and cuddly bundle.

That being said, I decided to create this tiny hat so that all the lovely mummies out there can wrap their newborns head in a sweet little bow.

To join the top and bottom half of the bow, tightly wrap the strand of yarn around the center of the bow. You need to wrap it around the bow at least 15 times. When you've finished wrapping, knot it to the back of the bow.
Then taking your tapestry needle, sew the bow over the stripe in the hat.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.
