Criss-Cross Baby Hat

Lately I've been busy working on projects and haven't been able to write down my latest pattern. This week I took the time to write it down. It goes along with the theme of a few of my other patterns that I've done on here. You could make the Criss-Cross Baby Blanket, the Criss-Cross Baby Bib, and this hat and you would have a nice set for a baby gift!
