Basic Knitted Hat 0-3 months


Basic Knitted Baby Hat

What you'll need:


  1. Five 3.25 mm double pointed needles
  2. Extra fine baby soft wool 50g. (You can use DK and use 3.75 mm needles if you like, this will make the hat a little bigger.)
  3. A measuring tape


Method

Cast on 20 sts on each of the four dp needles using the longtail cast on method. (80)

Rows 1-7; K2, P2 around for roughly 2 cm

Row 1-3 Knit all
Row 4 (optional) Let yarn A hang, attach yarn B and Knit
Row 5-6 let yarn B hang, pick up yarn A and Knit
Row 7 drop yarn A, pick up yarn b and Knit. Cut yarn and knot.
(Dropping and picking up the yarn in this way will mean that you won't need to cut and re-attach yarn, and have loose ends to weave in)

Continue knitting with yarn A until the body measures 8 cm

Cut the yarn, but leave about 4'' to weave in the ends.

Removed the dp needles and pull the yarn to close the top of the hat. 
Weave the yarn through the hat a few times and cut.
