This simple hat leaves quite an impression, with its “baa-baa” beautiful little lamb ears, easy stitch patterns, and decreasing techniques. But the best part is that this hat can be knitted in a day, so it’s a great choice for a last-minute gift and wonderful for beginner knitters.

A helpful note from our design team about our patterns…

Each TLA Exclusive pattern comes with written instructions on how to knit the pattern stitches for each specific pattern, flat and in the round. At TLA, we strive to help foster competent and confident knitters. We hope that this added detail will inspire one’s imagination and encourage knitters to create their own unique designs as well as increase their stitch library.

Also, to make finding your perfect needle size and yarn as easy as can be, every TLA Exclusive pattern lists the yarn gauge for the yarn used in the instructions (the tension and weight of the yarn itself – usually found on the yarn label) as well as the pattern gauge (the designer’s tension when working that specific knitting pattern). We hope that this will serve as a great reference for knitters and help to ensure the quality of their work, because quality work comes from quality patterns.

Happy Knitting!
