Newborn Long Stocking Cap (photo prop)

Nap time

So a new baby brings out my creativity...that is apparent now.  I officially can't stop lol

Here is another cute pattern for a newborn photo prop hat.

Materials:

I hook 

Large eye needle to weave in ends and attach eyes

Ww yarn in color choice (I use Caron Simply Soft Baby in Misty Green )

Abbreviations :

MR : magic ring

Ch:  chain

Sl st:  slip stitch

Dc:  double crochet

F.o. :  finish off

Note:

Unless noted otherwise: ch2 at beginning of each round does not count as stitch.  If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted.
This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson, and I share it freely with all you crafty crocheters!  You may do whatever you like with your finished Newborn Long Stocking Caps: sell them at farmer's markets, use them, gift them, fly to the moon with them or take over the world with them!! But I ask that you not reproduce/sell this pattern.
