Juniper Blossom features a woven pattern that’s reminiscent of spiraled topiary trees. Although it might appear complex, the twists are formed using a simple cable repeat, perfect for the knitter who’s new to this technique. The yarn for this project provides excellent stitch definition and plenty of luster, creating a warm, elegant hat for your newest little one. Plus, each skein makes two hats!

This quick and easy pattern can be finished in an afternoon and makes a very sweet gift for mamas-to-be. It’s available in newborn size but can easily be sized up with additional pattern repeats or casting on in bigger sized yarn.
