Little knitted robins decorate this pretty baby hat making it the perfect Christmas gift

These picture knits are worked flat and seamed for easy intarsia knitting.
If you are a new knitter and not quite ready to work in intarsia this time, simply Swiss darn (duplicate stitch) the little robins onto your beanie after knitting.

This knitting pattern has instructions for the following sizes:
6-8lbs (0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m, 1-2 yrs, 3-5 years)

Choose any 4 Ply yarn (or sport yarn) that knits on 3.25mm (US3) needles to the tension listed below. The little beanie shown here was knitted in Bergere De France Caline

This easy to read knitting pattern has separate detailed row by row instructions and picture charts for each size to help to make this pattern super easy.
If you are printing this pattern, just print out the size you are knitting along with the ‘All Sizes pages to save on ink! All pages are clearly numbered and indexed.

I do recommend knitting this beanie flat and seamed with intarsia pictures, but if you only work in the round you could convert this pattern for DPNs and duplicate stitch (swiss darn) the robins once you have completed the beanie. Each size would need to be 2 stitches less, (you would need to omit the first and last stitch of each row).
