These mini hats are very much inspired by my 2025 mini jumpers Collection, and they are 2-3 times quicker to make! The bicolour section, which I find the most creative is the main part in those bobble hats.
Each little hat is knitted in the round, beginning with a 3-stitch white i-cord worked over 12 rows, which will form the bobble. Five or seven more stitches are then added, and the rest of the hat is knitted in the round. The motif is repeated four or five times, depending on the chosen shape.
Those hats just required a few grams of two yarns, a set of 4 double-pointed needles, a tapestry needle, and a bit of patience!
The pattern suggests 16 motifs, but it is open to many more.

If you’re a total beginner, it might be best to save this pattern for later. Knitting with two strands of yarn in the round can be quite challenging, particularly with so few stitches on the needles.
