Are you looking for an easy, fast baby hat? Want something more challenging than a basic rib or garter hat, but not too sure about cable needles? Then this is the pattern for you!

This newborn baby hat features a simple to follow mock cable stitch pattern resurrected and given new life from one of my grandmother’s old knitting and crocheting books. No need to bust out the cable needles: all the fancy footwork is just a manipulation of the knit and purl stitches.

This ribbed nature of this hat means it is stretchy, and will grow with your baby.
