Baby toques are a perfect way to begin knitting in the round, and this pattern also gently introduces you to some basic Fair Isle techniques! We’ll start first with a simple one-colour hat, available
in three sizes, work our way to stripes, and end with a kid-size beautifully patterned toque.

Knit up in beautifully warm and soft Sandnes Garn 100% superwash merino wool, these three hats can be knit in any colour combination and make excellent gifts for new caregivers. Add pompoms for an adorable pop of colour!
