This knitting pattern is for my Spring Butterfly Baby Hat and Headband.
The set is very easy to knit. It is made in stockinette. The baby hat has a beautiful butterfly at the front. The butterfly has cabled body decorated with glass beads and wings are decorated with the blanket stitch on the edge. Both items are knitted in the round so they have no any seams. I made this lovely set in bright yellow color using Drops Safran high quality Egyptian Cotton shade 11 strong yellow, shade 13 raspberry and shade 51 petrol.

The knitting pattern is easy to follow and suitable for beginners. It is very detailed and contains five pages of written instructions, charts for butterfly body and wings and set of pictures that shows step by step decoration process. There are two sizes of butterfly wings for different sizes of hat in the pattern so if you want a big butterfly for a small hat size or a small butterfly for a big size hat. So, you have a choice!

The pattern is written for four sizes: 0-3 months,3-6 months, 6-9 months and 9-12 months.
