Velvet Baby Turban (Free Crochet Pattern)


Dear fellow crocheters,

I'm excited to share with you this adorable Velvet Baby Turban hat pattern!

This sweet newborn beanie comes with a cute bow, which I added after being inspired by top knot head wraps that are totally trending right now.  I think it's a true fashion statement but at the same time, super practical, comfortable, and keeps your baby girl's head warm!  It's easy to put on and wear, and it's the perfect accessory for the stylish, little diva in your life.  


This turban looks adorable without a bow, too!

It's also soooo simple and quick to crochet, and you can easily finish this project in one sitting!

The Yarn I Used

I used Lion Brand Yarn's Vel-Luxe Yarn in the beautiful shade, 'Marigold.'  This velvety yarn is super soft to the touch, stretchy, and warm!  The resulting texture looks amazing.  
My pattern comes in the newborn 0-3 month size and makes a perfect handmade gift for baby showers, craft fairs, and the like!  You can also easily adjust this pattern to fit larger heads by adding additional increase rows to the crown.  I'll be adding a toddler, child, and possibly adult size in the future!


Want it RIBBED and with a BOW?

If you don't have velvet yarn or would like a more pleated/ribbed look, I highly recommend checking out the Ribbed Baby Turban pattern!  It is nearly identical to this hat.  The crown of both hats are entirely the same, and the body of the hats are different: the Velvet Baby Turban is worked in BLO, whereas the Ribbed Baby Turban is worked in alternating BLO and FLO.


Or... Want to make this in ALL SIZES?

Since I've gotten a lot of inquiry about this pattern in other sizes, I've decided to add on instructions for all head sizes for the ribbed version of this turban.  This includes: newborn (0-3 months), baby (6-12 months), toddler, child, teen, and adult.  Click HERE or the image below to get to the pattern page, where you can find the download links.
