Cut the yarn, but leave a long tail to sew the side up. When sewing up turn your work inside out first.
Using a darning needle weave the yarn through the remaining sts on the needles, then sew down the side of the hat. Weave the yarn through the hat a few times and cut.

  1. Thank you for the pattern. I'm very new at knitting but want to make a newborn hat and this is perfect. I watched your video. You're very generous with your sharing. I've always crocheted but never knitted, but I love the look of a knitted project. Appreciated.

  6. Thanks! This is a very quick and pretty design for beginners like me. I had knitted it for my daughter and now I'm knitting it a second time for my nephew/niece who'll be arriving soon :)

  8. In the beginning it says rows 1-7 should measure 2 cm. That can't be right. Only one row would measure 2 cm! Then the next section is 8 cm? Is it a typo? It looks like a nice pattern but I can't figure this out!
