Made With Love
Here’s my chunky version of a baby hat that has proven to be so popular time and time again. This pattern also includes sizing up to age three and variations for styling the finished hat.
Simplest is often the best and these cute baby hats are no exception! These little hats not only look good, they’re also quick and easy to make even if you’re new to knitting.
Knitted in chunky weight yarn on smaller than recommended needles helps create a dense fabric with great structure and means they are extra warm. They’re knitted in the round, on circular needles using the magic loop method, and are completely seamless as they’re joined at the top using Kitchener stitch. You can also knit the hat with dpn’s if that is your preference. The seamless finish gives the hat a really professional look and although Kitchener stitch has a reputation for being difficult it’s quite a simple process and a full description, along with a video link, is included in the pattern. The newborn size can be knitted in a single evening.
For added variety there are 4 different finishing styles: tied ears, pointy ears, pompoms and tassels. Choose your favourite style or make one of each! What makes your hat extra special is that each one is ‘Made With Love’. The perfect gift for a special little person in your life.
I hope you like this pattern as much as me and I look forward to seeing your finished photos either here on Ravelry or Instagram where my username is also @knittedandco.
