As promised, here is the multi-stripe newborn beanie! I chose colors that reminded me of things in nature, such as brown for earth, blue for water or sky, green for trees, and grass, orange for fire, and white for fluffy clouds, and wrapped it all up in sunshine.
The pattern is fairly basic, but you will want to be comfortable with color changes. multi-stripe really means multi-stripe here! 😉
EasyMaterials Needed:
5mm (H) Hook (or hook needed to achieve measurements)
Small amount of worsted weight yarn in 6 colors. I used Red Heart worsted weight yarn in Coffee, Country Blue, Lettuce, Carrot, and Off-White for the stripes. The main body of the hat is made using Maize.
yarn needle
scissors
Stitches used:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
Finished hat should measure 6 1/2″ to 7″ wide at widest point, by about 4-4 1/2″ tall depending on your tension.
Additional Notes
ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
Once you join the new color you will join to the 1st stitch of that row with a slip stitch. I carry my main color down inside of the hat, instead of cutting each round, that way I don’t have as many ends to weave in later.

Feel free to change the colors up as you see fit. Since this pattern is so basic it can be made for either boys or girls. Some hospitals are choosey about the kind of yarn they want the hats made out of. Call ahead to find out if that is the case in your area.

The multi-stripe beanie made to be used by individuals, and small business crocheters alike. Selling your finished pieces in boutiques, at farmer’s markets, craft shows and other events is encouraged! The only thing I require is that it not be used commercially to produce millions of copies.
