Skill Level: Intermediate

Take a lovely yarn, cast on some stitches, and work a simple (Yes, really! Would we lie to you?) lace stitch for a few inches. Then work some decreases, pull the yarn through the final stitches, and you’re done! It’s hard to resist making baby hats, especially when they are this easy—and when the results look so adorable on cute baby heads. What’s not to love?

Finished Size: 12 (12&189;, 13)” [30.5 (31.5, 33 cm)] head circumference, and 5 (51⁄8, 51⁄4)” [12.5 (13, 13.5) cm] tall from lower brim to top of crown. To fit a preemie (newborn, 3-6 months). Hat shown measures 121⁄2” head circumference.

Yarn: Preemie and 3-6 months: Lana Grossa Cool Wool 2000 (100% superfine merino wool; 175 yd [160 m]/50 g): Girl’s hat: #452 pink. Boy’s hat: #488 olive green. 1 ball will make 2 hats (either size). Newborn: Mountain Colors Bearfoot (60% superwash wool, 25% mohair, 15% nylon; 350 yd [320 m]/100 g): mountain twilight. 1 skein will make 2 hats.

Needles: For preemie (newborn, 3-6 months): Size 2 (3, 4) [2.75 (3.25, 3.5) mm]—set of 4 or 5 double-pointed needles (dpn). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions: Marker (m); tapestry needle.

Gauge: For preemie (newborn, 3-6 months): 27 (26, 25) sts and 34 (32, 30) rnds = 4” in pattern stitch worked in the round, unstretched.

Skill Level: Intermediate.

So cute! what a sweet little hat- it looks like a fairy hat, like a little flower turned upside-down on the baby's head. Will definitely make a lot of them to donate to charity. We need more free baby patterns from Knitting Daily!

This is a great pattern, I have made several and gone up to a dk yarn and size 8s for a women's size with great success!

It was SUCH fun knitting that hat! Wonderful gift! Now I just hope it'll fit my friend's cute little baby girl ...

I seem to have missed something. The pattern came out looking right, but the cap is wide and flat. The only way I could keep it on a baby's head is with double-stick tape. Any idea what I'd need to do to lengthen it by a couple of inches?

Very nice little hat.  I made one in under 24 hours for a baby shower gift.
