Oh my gosh - I love this baby hat pattern. It was super easy and quick to knit. It just has a whimsical look to it that I love. I knit the small version, using 8 needles and a worsted weight yarn. The k2tog, k1, psso was easy because I use Addi lace needles, which are super sharp for this kind of stitch. I used circular needles, using Magic Loop method, so there’s no need to have to switch to DPNs, which I don’t like.

I made this hat to go with the Baby Sophisticate sweater that I knit.

Can’t believe I used acrylic yarn - just don’t knit with this fiber, but the colorway caught my eye.

Will definitely knit this hat again. Thanks, Purl Soho for another great free pattern!
