Simple Knit Hat (for babies!)
Hey again! Knitting is a hobby that I took up about one year ago, and I absolutely love it. It keeps my hands busy, and I can knit while I am playing a game or watching a movie. I found this pattern on Ravelry (which is a website for where you can find knitting and crocheting patterns) from Mama's Stitchery Projects. On her website she has four different sizes for this hat (preemie, newborn, 12 month, toddler, and teen), but I'm only going to give you the preemie and newborn patterns. If you need the other sizes, you can find them on her website!
Sizes:
Preemie - 11" circumference, 5.5" high
Newborn - 13" circumference, 6" high
Gauge:
22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette
Materials:
0.5 to 1 oz (40 to 80 yds) of DK weight baby yarn
Size 6 (4 mm) 40" circular needles
Yarn Needle
Pattern:
Preemie - Cast on 60
Newborn - Cast on 72
Ribbing (6 rounds for preemie size, 8 rounds for other sizes): k2, p2 repeated across round
Knit until the hat measures the desired height for size including the ribbing:
Preemie – 4.25″ high
Newborn – 4.75″ high
12 month – 5.75″ high

Newborn – 4.75″ high

Before starting the crown, there are 60 (72, 84, 96, 108) stitches

Cut the yarn with several inches to work with. With a yarn needle, pull the yarn through all the remaining loops, secure and weave in end.
Enjoy!
