I designed this baby hat for a few new babies, mothers and grandmothers around our workshops table. The Cotton Stripe is a basic hat, knitted in the round, from the rib up to the crown shaping. It’s an addictive play with stripe and makes a perfect project for beginners. Knits up in 2 colors of Granny Kit cotton in a few hat sizes. The 2 colors cotton Stripe makes it light & stylish for both girls and boys.
