This is my go-to baby beanie pattern because it’s quick and simple! The rolled band gives a secure and snug fit. It’s best knitted in merino wool which gives some stretch to the beanie and is soft for a baby’s head. It’s a perfect pattern for beginner knitters who want to learn to knit in the round.
