This very cute little hat for a newborn baby is so soft and warm, knit with super chunky yarn this hat knits up in an evening and would make a gorgeous last minute gift.

This pattern would suit beginner knitters and is a perfect opportunity to practice knitting in the round on a small project. Techniques used include knitting in the round, increasing (make one and knit front and back), the (optional) tubular cast off and working an I-cord.
