# Blueberry Baby Hat and Pants Set Free Crochet Pattern
I dare you to look at this set without smiling. A soft blueberry-blue hat topped with a little berry bobble and leaf, plus the comfiest sage-trimmed pants — it is equal parts adorable and practical. This is my go-to gift for new babies because it photographs like a dream and actually gets worn.
Both pieces are worked in simple stitches with zero fussy shaping. The hat is a basic beanie with a cute topper, and the pants are just two tubes joined with a stretchy ribbed waistband. If you have made a hat before, the pants will feel like a breeze.

Sophie’s Tips
- The ribbed waistband has plenty of stretch, so do not worry if it looks small off the baby — it grows.
- Try the hat on a 6-inch ball or balloon while you work the straight rounds to check the depth — baby heads vary.
- Make the whole set in soft gray with a red bobble and it becomes the sweetest little apple set instead.
The sweetest little blueberry in the patch — happy hooking!
