Pink Ruffles Baby Hat- Crochet Pattern
designed by Henya Kazatchkov
From Henya Kazatchkov:Ever since my youngest daughter was born I am on the "pink kick". The little darling has at least three pink hats, here is one more. This hat is actually a nostalgic item. I think every Russian kid had a similar one when I was growing up. I have a photo of me wearing just such a hat. This hat is also very practical. Because the linked stitches create more windproof fabric than the usual Double Crochet.
