This hat was designed for knitters that just don’t like working the traditional form of “knitting in the round.” The idea is to start with a square, knitting in garter stitch and morph into knitting in the round after the square is a specific size.
The hat in this pattern is specifically sized for preemies, but is easily sized up for any child. This pattern is a lovely little gift for new babies that need a little extra love and care. Knit up a dozen and take them to your local hospital’s newborn nursery. They will be very appreciative. Remember, these babies are a bit fragile - so please do not wash in any detergent with perfume. Use a brand that is considered free and clear or perfumes and dyes.

Peace and joy to you all…
The Green Girl
