This is an easy knit-in-the-round baby hat that would make a great gift for a newborn. The ruffled edge looks like i-cord but is knit as part of the hat pattern. Techniques required are K, YO, K2tog, and knitting in-the-round.

I made this hat using size US6 needles and DK weight 100% alpaca yarn. The yarn was dyed locally by Val, my business partner. If you like this bright rainbow sherbet colorway, you can purchase the kit in my Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/AlpacaYarnShop?section_id=6351762
