Easiest Newborn Hat Knitting Pattern

Easiest Newborn Hat Knitting Pattern- If you can knit a rectangle, you can make this baby hat!

This knitting pattern is as easy as they come! There’s no crown shaping, or decreasing and it’s knit flat on single point needles. This hat is the perfect project for beginner knitters looking to move beyond basic scarves. This pattern is also great for charity knitting because it’s such a breeze to make.

The finished piece is sewn together at the side and the top is tied off. The rib pattern ensures that the hat stays snugly put on little heads.
