Superfast baby hat - pattern

Yesterday I've been invited to a 3-years old birthday party. Problem was I didn't have any present! On my way to the party I've got an idea, I grabbed a pink skein of soft cotton and a crochet hook and I stared a mini hat for the birthday-girl.

I got to the party at 4 pm and by the time she opened her presents my hat was done, just in time! A bit of a rush but she looked happy with it. At least I've finished something, for once ;-)

The super fast, super simple hat pattern:
