Sweet Sprout is a little hat to warm the noggin of your wee one. Knit in chunky yarn, it goes incredibly fast. The stem and leaf are incorporated right into the hat so there are no fiddly parts to attach. The ribbing is carried up the hat and the decreases are angled in to make the sections appear to be leaves themselves. The ribbing creates quite a bit of negative ease, allowing the hat to get lots of use as the baby grows. The ribbed brim is reversible and can be folded up for a newborn and folded down later. Circumference 13” un-stretched, expanding to 20” when stretched.
