I was shocked to hear that, in this day and age, there are still states in this country that do not protect a mother’s right to breastfeed her baby in public. And while most states do have laws on the books, few actually enforce them with punitive sanctions, which means women, like Nirvana Jeannette, are often harassed or otherwise discriminated against for doing what comes naturally.
A photo of this cap has been making its rounds on the social media sites, and when I first saw it on Facebook, I wondered if there was a pattern for it. The answer is a resounding “Yes!”
UPDATE 3-24-22:
That photo, as well as the link to a PDF pattern I used back when I first published this post are no longer available. However, since that time loads of patterns have become available to crochet this cute beanie.
Here’s are some patterns I found on Pinterest.
In the meantime, I’ll look for a replacement photo and update this post when I find one.
The beanie simulates a naked breast. You can use any colors you like to create a “realistic looking” breast. The size of the beanie can also be adjusted to fit securely on the baby’s head, or, for the more discreet breast feeder, a little larger, to cover the baby’s suckling mouth.
Why not combine the celebration of Women’s History Month, International Women’s Day (March 8), and National Craft Month and make a statement by crocheting one of these Baby Beanie Breastfeeding Caps?

Hi Linda, watch the video. That shows you how to make the beanie. Also, if you watch it on YouTube (just click the world “YouTube” at the bottom of the video), there is a link to Teresa’s site where there are written instructions. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting.
Thank you so much for the free pattern. They are so quick and easy to make, I already made two this morning. I appreciate you sharing!
You’re welcome, Laura. Glad you like the pattern :-).
PDF of pattern is no longer available at the link mentioned above. Is it possible to get a copy of the pattern?
Hi Maire, thanks for letting me know about the broken link. I have a lot of old content here that I probably need to update. I found this on Pinterest. A lot of patterns to choose from.
