New Born Baby Crochet Patterns?

I just bought Patons Grace Yarn and I’d love to make a hat, booties, and possibly mittens for a new born. Does anyone have a pattern that would work nicely with that yarn?

***Baby Hat (newborn)

GAUGE:

4 sc = 1 in. [2.5 cm] BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:

Crown is worked in rnds, do not join. Place marker to indicate beg of rnd. Move marker up each rnd

HAT
Crown
Ch 2.
Rnd 1 (right side): Work 6 (7, sc in 2nd ch from hook; do not join.
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around – 12 (14, 16) sc.
Rnd 3: *Sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc; repeat from * around – 18 (21, 24) sc.
Rnd 4: *Sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc; repeat from * around – 24 (28, 32) sc.

Sides
Note: Sides are worked in a spiral, do not use marker.
Pattern: *Sc in back loop only of next sc, sc in front loop only of next 2 sc; repeat from * until piece measures 3½ (4¾, 5¼) in. [9 (12, 13.5) cm] from beg.
Last Rnd: Sc in next 24 (28, 32) sc, slip stitch in next sc. Fasten off.

CORD (for top knot)
Join yarn in top of Hat, ch 11.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across, join to Hat with slip stitch – 10 sc. Fasten off.

FINISHING
Weave in ends. Knot cord. Turn up lower edge of Hat to form cuff.

***Booties

GAUGE:

12 sc + 15 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:

1) Bootie is worked in one piece beginning at back of Sole.
2) Work into both loops on Sole, but into front loops only for remainder of Bootie.

BOOTIE
