This cute little hat is an adaptation for babies of my “Willow wood beanie” in a thinner yarn ideal for babies (soft, washable).
Its super squishy texture makes it comfortable and cosy for your little ones!

Only basic skills are needed: knit and purl in the round, and basic decrease techniques.
Instructions are written, and a chart is provided for the textured pattern.

This unisex pattern is knit in the round and from bottom up, and comes in 5 baby sizes:

• Preemie (P) : to fit head circumference from 28 to 33 cm (11” to 13”).
• Newborn (N) : to fit head circumference from 33 to 38 cm (13” to 15”).
• 6 months (6) : to fit head circumference from 38 to 43 cm (15” to 17”).
• 12 months (12) : to fit head circumference from 43 to 47 cm (17” to 18.5”).
• Toddler (T): to fit head circumference from 47 to 50.5 cm (18.5” to 20”).

The yarn used in the sample shown is Pingouin Pingorex Baby (50g = 210 m/230 yds).
