Crochet Baby Fox Hat

I made this for my future nephew coming in March! I believe this is more for newborns but it does have quite a bit of stretch. I jammed about five different patterns into one plus my own innovation so if there are any mistakes or problems let me know and I'll do my best to correct them. Good luck!
