Another hat for incoming grand-daughter due 10-18-14. I think it sort of looks like MoJo JoJo’s turban on the Power Puff Girls, lol.

I added a knitted flower. I wanted something that was pretty non-intrusive and low profile for a newborn and this did the trick.

The hat seems rather narrow and tall. I did use fingering weight yarn, but (I know, I know) I didn’t CHECK MY GAUGE. :oP

The brim stretches to 14 inches though, so I feel I should be ok - I did want it to fit snugly for a newborn. Folks have mentioned that it rounds out nicely once it is on an actual head. I hope to update with a picture once grandbaby is born.**

Notes:
I would add, cast on LOOSELY to the instructions as this is the only place that it will have little give.

UPDATE: Hat did not fit a newborn. If I would have cast on more loosely it probably would have been okay.
