Such an unusual shape and the final result is really fancy. I made mine all in green and even without a contrasting color, it looks sublime! My only remark is that the sleeves tend to roll up a bit Not sure if it's the pattern or my knitting though - " see all comments reply.
Iceni " The pattern is knit on TWO straight needles. When it says turn, it means exactley that. Turn and leave the rest of the row of stitches without knitting them. This helps with the shaping. Hope this helps. Lisa " To complete this row you will use a single ball of yarn all the way across the row, the other two balls can be removed after this row is completed, since they were only needed to shape the previous sections, going forward you will use a single ball of yarn.
Lisa " Popular misconception, on many projects it may seem that way, but on projects that require shaping, which this project does, it's important to pay attention to right and wrong sides to make sure the decreases, which are the shaping occur on the same side. Hope this helps, happy knitting. I printed the instructions each week also. I don't understand why the author couldn't just admit that there was an error.

Always make sure the pom poms are very securely attached with any donated hats too. I just finished my first baby hat and am very pleased with how it turned out. Thank you so much for an easy and quick pattern. Is there any possibility that you would have an easy knit pattern for a pair of booties?
I love this pattern!! Thank you so much for sharing. You are so correct that it is addicting. I made two solid hats in three days. I am looking forward to getting some time this weekend to knit more of these adorable hats. I am going to start donating them to a local charity for children with health issues. Do you have this pattern for older children? If so, can you share with me? Thanks again! So sorry about the loss of your mum. Thank You so much for sharing this good piece of information as I was seeking baby caps for my Lil princess.
Thank You so much for sharing this information about baby caps. Now it will be easier for me to know and perform the same. Sounds easy to do will try as s00n as I can for our new premi great grand daughter. Thank you so much for the pattern. I was at a loss for a pattern for someone so small. I am very new to knitting and am trying to knit my first baby hat. What size of yarn, in uk mm should I be buying and what size of needles should I use for this?
I have a similar pattern in the uk and was amazed how small it is but was assured it was fine. Good luck. Beverly,just found your patterns for the baby beanies and am starting right now to kni them up. Last year I turned 90 in Sept.
Judes Hospital. I finished the 90th on Aug. Since my daughter and her husband and I are full time rovers,my knitting was done last year from Ga. Thank you for the patterns. And thank you for blessing the children at St. Can you please advise me on the baby hats you have knitted. I have followed instructions. But my hat has turned out very small. Can you explain were I am going wrong please. I think I had to improvise a bit on the last decrease row as the stitch count did not come out quite the same.
After my 2nd child life sped up and knitting was left behind. As a grandmother, I have begun to knit again after 50 years — yikes! Thanks sooooo much for your outstanding instructions! Thanks so much for your pattern. I signed up for the newsletter. My 14 year old granddaughter, an 8th grader, is trying very hard to knit. I have not knitted for the past 7 to 8 years, but I am now interested once again — thanks to Nina. I hope you and your granddaughter have some good times knitting together!
Thank you so much. Such a cute baby hat. I am currently using your pattern in pink for my first grandchild. I was wondering what method you use to stitch the seam? The knit newborn hats are quite small. I measured one I did and it has an 11 inch circumference and is about 4. If you need that in centimeters that would be about a 28 cm circumference and about Thank you so much for posting such an easy-to-follow pattern!
I only learned to knit 3 years ago lifelong crocheter. One thing you can try for knitting a small Lovey, is to use my diagonal dishcloth pattern. If you use circular needles, this hat will get too small with too few stitches at the top to keep using them.
I have been knitting baby hats new-born every time I finish something and have wool to spare. All my knitting goes for charity. Thank you for practical advice. Sincerely, Marjorie Quarton. Thank you so much for this pattern. My grand daughter has just had premmie twins at 28 weeks, so I am going to just love making these for them.
Kindest regards. Thank you! I loved your story about your two little baby hats Very generous of you to share. Lovely pattern and very easy to do… giving them to a local hospital for the prem babies…. Thanks for this pattern Bev, I made the small 5 hour sweater and brought the pattern forth on this hat.
Such a cute gift for a new babe. Do you have a pattern for the next size hat. This knitting pattern does create quite a small hat as they are intended for newborns. However if you are a little bit of a tighter knitter, yours may have turned out closer to a preemie size.
From there you can proceed on with the decrease rows at the top. Addendum to previous comment. I do like baby yarn 3 weight on 6 needles. I find a 54 or 64 Cast on a good size.
When you do 54 and 64 when do you start to decrease and do you follow the same instructions for decrease as this pattern does? I also make baby hats for our local hospital. Your pattern is pretty straight forward but I prefer a no seam.
I use Magic Loop. Do you have a picture of what the hat will look like with the seam? Has anyone tried this yet? I make knitted newborn hats all the time and donate them to the local hospital. This pattern makes a bit bigger hat — about 28 to 30 cm. Thank you for sharing! I love this pattern! But I found it to be a little small — about 28cm using the recommended 48 stitches and size 6 needles. Thank you. I also make hats and donate them all, had75 last year I donated.
Which hospital in GR takes donated hats? Thanks Pam. It would be helpful if you said what size circular needle for us beginners even though you used straight needles.
Because this is a very small hat, circular needles can be hard to use. The 4 weight is the traditional worsted weight yarn. Thank you for your patterns. Could and would you help me? I thought of giving it together with a vest in similar colors.
Thanks in advance Hadass Rosenthal. I have this pattern on my clipboard. Have also made simple knitted booties matching the stripes. Love this pattern but I found it a little small , so I will adjust it till it measures about 40cm in diameter. I used 4. Never dreamed I would have a blog someday and the pattern might come in handy again!
Thank you, thank you. This pattern is so easy I can remember it. Changed it up slightly by doing K2, P2 instead of K1, P1 for the first six rows because I like the look better. I also used the tail cast on method because it allows for more stretch. Agree with Beverly. Garter stitch is pretty especially with variegated baby yarn. However, using two sets of circulars and knitting in the round is all stockinette. Try practicing with a DK weight on US size 8s till that is comfortable then do a swatch with 6s till that is comfortable.
After that you will feel like a PRO! Happy Knitting. The top of these hats are very small so circular needles will probably not work unless you do the magic loop method. When you get to the end and have the six stitches left on your needle, you will cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread that tail of yarn onto a blunt, large-eye needle and thread it through the stitches on the needle, then remove the stitches from the needle and pull them tight to gather them together.
Then sew the seam and your hat will be complete! I love this pattern, but how can I also make newborn. I have been making the preemie for the hospital and they would also like some for newborn. There are some fuzzy baby yarns that are labeled as Bulky 5 size, but are still soft and would probably work for a newborn hat.
Circulars; absolutely! The secret is to use two sets or circulars with half the stitches on each set. I usually use sets with different colored needles or different colored cables. That way you can easily pick up the right needle for the side on which you are working. There are plenty of YouTube videos which demonstrate this technique. Well if you do only knit stitch you will have a much different looking garter stitch hat with a roll brim, but it might work!
Hate to see people wasting there time and wool on unsuitable items. This was my first time following a knitting pattern and changing colours, but it was surprisingly easy, and quick to make! This is the perfect pattern for beginners and I know my soon-to-be baby cousin will be happy too!
Thank you very much. Small projects like this are indeed a good way to learn knitting skills. However they change the colors they manufacture as the years go along so some of the colors pictured here might not be available anymore.
Helen — you could try contacting local yarn shops who might know about where knitted goods can be sent for donation. Otherwise you could contact your local hospital directly about giving them a donation of hand knitted hats for the natal unit. Thank you so much, I am a complete novice and left handed knitter and found the pattern really easy to follow. I even made the babies hat in one evening, It has given me confidence to try other things.
I love that this pattern has helped you feel confident to try more knitting projects. Even the best knitters get started in this same way. You start small and work your way up from there! Thank you so much for the patterns. They are so clear and easy to read. I just found out this morning that one of my best friends is unexpectedly pregnant so I am getting busy with the needles Love this pattern, thank you for sharing. I am looking for hat, bootie, cardigan patterns for baby weighing 2.
Maybe one of those will work for you! Thanks for this lovely little pattern. I found it this afternoon and have made 2 and started looking for infant mitts pattern as well but think I can modify this one a bit. I had leftover yarn from a small baby blanket so this hat is just perfect to add to the blanket.
I did the same thing with a leftover yarn after making a baby afghan! I used this pattern to make an extra little matching hat.
Works great! Your pattern is one of the best I have ever seen. Your directions are very easy to follow also. I have made a dozen changing the size by changing needle size cast on number and yarn type. Most of the ones I have made however are newborn size. But I made a few changes for the other sizes. I just finished one where I used size 7 us needle for cast on. Then changed to size 6 needles for the pattern of body.
This produces a bit of a lacy look. I used 4 yarn. Followed the decrease row pattern you wrote. And it worked. I love all your suggested color schemes. So knitters just experiment with her pattern and adjust if necessary an increase of 4 stitches to get the size you desire.
Then for decrease just divide stitches to even numbers. Thank you so much Beverley for your talent and gift to us all. Thank you for publishing this pattern, My local maternity unit is asking for hats in red, amber and green so I can use up some of my leftovers for a good cause.
Great it does not need to be done in the round as that would be beyond me, kind regards from Devon, UK. This is a great pattern! I have adapted it for double pointed needles to avoid the seam as well. Do you mean you are knitting them in the round so you have no seam, that is what I would like to do but not sure how to adapt pattern to do it. Thank you for sharing. So often I look for patterns that are labeled free, however there usually a catch. Plus this a great community mission?
I appreciate this pattern but I would not seam a hat. I use the circular needle Magic Loop method. I wish I was good at Magic Loop Marilyn! For others with this same dilemma, this seamed hat is an alternative that even beginners can usually make.
I found your pattern online and am very keen to give it a try. However, I am in New Zealand and have no idea what the yarn you mentioned is. We have 4ply, 8 ply etc. Would 8 ply also known as double knit be the correct equivalent? Hi Christine — Yes, I did some quick research and the 8 ply should be the equivalent of what we call worsted yarn in the U.
They are now requesting hats and I am not good at making hats and wanted something simple. I came upon your blog —- This is great —- and for free. Most blogs wanted money for their patters. Jeannette [email protected]. Oh Bev, these are so adorable! Looking for something to do while watching TV need to keep my hands out of the cookie jar!! Just had my first grandbaby so excited to try this. My goal is to get good enough to be able to donate to hospitals.
These are perfect to make while watching TV Lori! Absolutely adorable. If only i had read the comments first. I need to use the baby yarn, to match thw booties etc. My hat came out doll sized. Would it work with bigger needles? I am such a beginner knitwise. Perhaps you could try using two strands of your lighter weight baby yarn held together as you knit to get a larger finished hat. I think if you use the bigger needles with the thinner baby yarn the stitches will look too loose and stretchy, but you could give it a try.
Thank you for the pattern I loved knitting these hats knowing they are helping hospitals. I saw the appeal on facebook. I will try the stockings nex they look nice and will cheer people up too. I did some mini hats for the elderly help the aged for the smoothly bottles they are so easy and fun to make.
I am so excited to start using this pattern. I have been looking for a simple pattern to make hats to donate. Just one question, though. If you were to down size them for a preemie, how many stitches would you cast on? I have a hard time down sizes things.
You would also want to knit a few less rows before starting the decrease rows too. My finished hats are about 4. So your hats that are turning out 4.
I have recently discovered Mattress Stitch which is a very invisible way of seaming. You might like to try that on these little hats. Hello Beverly!
Thank you so much for the knitting pattern. I am thirteen, and have been knitting for a few years. Do you have directions for caps for older kids. My group makes knit and crochet blankets for foster children and this would be good for the leftover yarn. Would this pattern work on 3 DPN?
Yes, I think this pattern would work on double pointed needles. Hi Bev, Thank you for an excellent pattern. I use size 8 sock needles 5 short needles with 12 stitches on 4 needles and there is no problem knitting in the round and decreasing at the top. Thank you for so many great ideas for knitting hats for babies in hospitals. I have just started this project but am running out of ideas.
Thanks again. Vera Staruch. Yes, that sounds too small Alison. You need a gauge of about 4 stitches per inch to get a properly sized hat. Did you use a worsted weight yarn labeled as 4?
