Knit a collection of practical baby and toddler hats with this versatile digital knitting pattern. Three different designs are included: a classic plain beanie, an all-over ribbed hat and a cheerful striped rainbow hat.
The ribbed version can be made with a simple edge or an optional turned-back brim, while the rainbow design is perfect for using small amounts of leftover DK yarn. With seven sizes ranging from a tiny premature baby through to two years, these hats are ideal for new baby gifts, hospital donations, charity knitting and everyday wear.
All three designs are worked flat on straight knitting needles and finished with one simple back seam. The pattern uses basic knit and purl stitches with straightforward crown shaping, making it suitable for beginners who are comfortable with simple decreases.
