How sweet is the free Made With Love chunky baby hat pattern by Julie Tootill? It’s a super quick and cosy DIY knit, sized from newborn all the way to three years old! So warm and adorable!
The design uses chunky weight yarn – or two strands of DK weight held together – worked on 5 mm needles. Sizing down the needle creates a denser, wind-resistant fabric with great stitch structure to keep little heads extra warm. Worked in the round using magic loop or DPNs, this DIY hat is seamless from brim to top. A smooth Kitchener stitch finish is guided by clear instructions and a video tutorial. You can finish the top in four fun ways: tied ears, cute pointy ears, fluffy pompoms, or playful tassels. The newborn size knits up easily in a single evening, making it ideal for fast baby shower gifts. Grab your chunky yarn, pick up your 5 mm circular needles, and cast on this sweet seamless baby hat for an adorable little one in your life!
