Here’s a great free pattern for a lovely knitted hat for babies! This simple, comfy beanie is such an adorable gift for little ones. The basic design is a great starting point for customizing. Add pompoms or try some stranded colorwork or Fair Isle patterns to make it unique. The hat is knit in stockinette stitch with a simple ribbed brim, making it a quick and easy project. It’s worked in the round, so grab your double-pointed needles or use a long circular needle for the magic loop method. All you need is one skein of bulky yarn, and you’re set. The finished size fits a preemie or newborn, making it perfect for a heartfelt handmade gift!
