Newborns - at least, those delivered rather than “hatched,” as we put it in my family - have pointy heads. All that squeezing… this reminded me of the old Coneheads skit from Saturday Night Live… and so I decided to make a hat for a coneheaded baby. It’s an extremely easy pattern, and lots of fun to make.
