Pattern description from Stitch ‘n Bitch: “Everyone I know seems to be having a babe these days, so I designed this easy, quick, and inexpensive hat to give as a gift. It can be made with any worsted-weight yarn, but make sure you use something washable that is soft, since babies need garments that don’t itch and that can easily be thrown into the washer. Depending on your gauge, you can probably get two hits from one skein of yarn.”
