I knitted nine pussyhats for the women’s march in January, then offered to knit more for anyone who would buy the yarn (I’d used up all my pink stash). Several friends planning on going to the March for Science took me up on it. One is about to give birth to triplets.

She had sent a giant skein of Red Heart, so with plenty of yarn to play with, I thought I’d whip up some tiny pussyhats as a surprise gift and a fourth one for her two-year-old.

I was surprised when I went on Ravelry that I didn’t find any patterns for kids’ sizes. There were about 5 patterns for brooches and a few for dolls, but nothing explicitly for newborns and toddlers.

So here’s mine.

Thanks so much to Kat Coyle for inspiring the original pussyhat project.

(Both sides take their kids to protests. I’m not invested in whether anyone thinks kids should protest or not. If you don’t want your kids to protest, don’t take them. Don’t worry about how other people parent their children.)
