Chunky Knotted Long Tail Newborn Hat
This is written for bulky or super bulky, loosely spun yarns.
You can choose to knit in the round, or back and forth.
The braid is optional. So cute with or without! You’ll probably want to make several hats.
The stripes are an innovation by photographer Lesilee DuFresne of Killeen, Texas. You can use the photo as a guide, if you want to make yours striped. The instructions include the picture, but do not mention how to make the stripes.
I specialize in clear, thorough instructions, and coaching is included!
I have included the yarn brands that I used, available at US craft and fabric stores and online.
Permission is granted to make hats knitted from this pattern.
Many thanks to test knitter Mandi Yelland of LittleKnitKnacks.com and to photographer Amanda McGhee of Kimberlin Gray Photography.
