Notes

Tessa is 14 months old in the photos (9/25/19).

I cast on 60 sts for a 16” circumference to fit a 1-year-old.

I used size 7 needles for the rib and size 8 needles for the body of the hat.

I knit the rib 3” long so it could be cuffed either 1.5” or 2”.

I followed the directions for the crown shaping from Hayfield 4404 Helmet with Ribbed Turnback in the 6-7 year size.

-Cast on 60 sts
-Rib for 3”
-Knit until hat is 6.5” long (18 rnds stockinette)
-Crown shaping per Hayfield pattern (11 rnds, 2” long)

Measurements:

  • Rib Circumference: 13”
  • Body Circumference: 16”
  • Total Length: 8.5”
  • Length with Rib Folded 2.5”: 6”
  • Length with Rib Folded 2”: 6.5”

Total Cost: $4.25
