You can get the pattern free at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crochetville.org\/forum\/showthread.php?t=125299\" target=\"_blank\">crochetville<\/a>.  I must say, I think my crochet gauge is a bit off; I really think the cap my volunteer made was a bit bigger than mine is.  If I were going to make it again, I&#8217;d add at least one more round before I did the brim.<\/p>\n<p>On the right is a regular old knitted cap, in a tiny size, made with the same yarn I used for those <a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/2011\/02\/baby-socks\/\">baby socks<\/a> back in February.   I&#8217;m sure I got this pattern free online, too, I just don&#8217;t remember which one I used.<\/p>\n<p>I think both the caps are sweet.  They remind me just how tiny babies really are.  These hats will likely fit him for about 10 minutes before he&#8217;s too big for them.<\/p>\n<p>I got to pass these on to my daughter at her baby shower, which we held at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hurdorchards.com\" target=\"_blank\">Hurd Orchards<\/a>.
