When it comes to baby clothes and accessories I can’t resist anything animal-related! To save time and make this project beginner friendly I hand sewed the bear face on instead of going the Intarsia route. Hope you like it!
Supplies: Lion’s Pride Woolspun yarn in Coffee (1 skein) Size 10 1/2 US knitting needles Large pom pom maker
Black, white, tan felt
Needle & thread
Pattern:
Circumference of hat: 16 inches (age 6-9 months)
Cast on 44 stitches. Work in K1 P1 ribbing for 1 1/2 inches. Switch to stockinette stitch and work until piece measures 7 inches from the beginning. To shape crown-
Knit 2 together, repeat across row
Next row: Purl
Next row: K1, K2 together across row
Next row: Purl
Next row: K1, K2 together across row
Next row: Purl
Next row: Knit 2 together, repeat across row
Cut yarn, leaving an 8 in. tail. Thread tail through stitches of last row and pull to secure. Use the tail to sew the side seam together.
[Make 2 pom poms using the pom pom maker]
[Attach the pom poms to the top sides of the hat]
[Cut the snout, nose and eyes out of felt]
[Hand stitch the snout and nose to the hat, with the lower part hidden under the flap]
[Hand sew the eyes in place]
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
Thanks so much for this pattern! I never made a hat and this one worked out really well! I would love a easy kids hat pattern for x-mass! Love it! Mona.
I am new to knitting. Can I ask what size needles, etc you recommend? I would love to make this hat for my friend's new baby – it is adorable! Thank you 🙂
