Newborn Apple Hat Crochet Pattern

Whenever I see an apple I can’t help but think of the young Isaac Newton who spotted a falling apple, and wasn’t content just living in ignorance as to why it fell, but was curious and wanted answers.
I think it’s such a constant and wonderful reminder how it is physically impossible for us to know everything, so we should never shy away from learning no matter what our age!

  3. Hello. This a really cute hat but had question about pattern. Pattern says to make 3 leaves but picture only shows one. Do you have image showing 3 leaves? Just trying to figure if 3 needed and how placement would be. Thank you

    • Hello!
      My original plan was to add 3 leaves, but I liked just adding 1 leaf more. Unfortunately I forgot to update the post, whoopsy!
      Thank you so much for pointing it out to me, I've gone ahead and edited the post 🙂
      Have a lovely day,
      Olivia
