Here’s a simple baby hat that knits up quickly with a soft and lovely DK weight yarn. The pattern features a garter-ribbing, which is an interesting variation of the conventional rib that blends in perfectly with a classic garter stitch hat and ear flaps. Top it all off with an adorable pom-pom and your baby will be both irresistibly cute and warm when the snow flies.

Because the hat is striped, 2 skeins of yarn were used, but there was left over yarn.

Hat is knitted in the round, and the ear flaps are added by picking up stitches and knitting, ending with an i-cord.
