Here are the written instructions for a front post double crochet stitch Yarn over. Insert your hook front-to-back through your work, so that the post you want to crochet around is in front of your hook. Yarn over again and pull through.

yes, I would make this blanket. It is nice to have a hat when you are taking an infant out and about. You would not have to worry as much about them lossing the hat or constantly taking it off.

Yes I would make this blanket. I have crocheted several blankets for my grandbabies, they are the only ones my daughter lets them use because I use loose stiches so they are breathable. Her Dr, told her these are ok to have in the crib because the little ones can still breath even if they wrap themselves up in it.
