Cute crochet patterns for hipster babies

March 19, 2023 5:40 AM

I have a new nephew! He is tiny and adorable and I need to have a gift for him soon. For his older brother I crocheted a pair of tiny Converse All Stars, which were a huge hit… now this is baby boy #2 and I want to do something equally fun / cute / ironic. I’m already leaning toward this Viking hat or maybe these adidas. But I’d love more ideas.

I’m looking for specific crochet patterns, and would prefer something free if that’s possible. My skill level is advanced but probably not expert, and I don’t have a ton of time so would love something that’s fast (no sweaters or blankets) and ideally only 2-3 colors. I’m on Ravelry (link in my profile) if that’s helpful).

Response by poster: And in case my “hipster” descriptor is throwing anyone off, baby was born in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and it’s only meant as a term of endearment…

Cowboy boots would be fun, or a berry hat or baby Yoda.

Cowboy Boots
I have not tried these patterns or this company, just pinned them for later. Looks like they have lots of cute styles. I bet ravelry has something similar for free.

Oops, nkknkk beat me to it.
Here is a free Aviator Hat
This Hershey's Kiss would be very quick. You probably wouldn't even need a pattern.
Wolf Feet.

Here’s a whole baby Yoda outfit with diaper cover and light sabre (but you could just do the hat if that’s all you have time for).

That Etsy shop has quite a few cute sets like that. I also like the fox one in particular.

You can't get more hipster than this.
