With the aran/worsted yarn, these sizes are all knitted up quickly and you can even get a small baby hat with one ball, including the tassel, so you’re already winning!

I’ve chosen some spicy colours for the contrast, to give a real note of interest. Sublime Worsted is produced in a lovely variety of dye choices so give your colour matching a try.

The stocking stitch and simple decreasing are ideal features for beginners and as ever my hat patterns always come with a seam, making them accessible to all experiences of knitters- feel free to reduce the stitch count and use circular or double-pointed needles.
