Hello Baby Hat – Free Pattern

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

The Hello Baby Hat pattern is ready for you. I made it to go along with the Hello Baby Cardigan but it is just as cute on its own. The Strawberry Charm is optional but awfully cute if you choose to latch one on top of your hat.

Here is some information you might like to know about the hat:

 

Size: newborn to 3 months

Yarn:Spud & Chloë Sweater (55% superwash wool, 45% organic cotton; 160 yards/100 grams), 1 hank in Igloo #7517 for the cardigan and 1 hank (or a small amount) in Toast #7506 for the I-cord at the top of the hat

Note: I used the leftover Igloo from the Hello Baby Cardigan to make the hat.

Needles: US size 7 needles, 16-inch circular and a set of 4 double-pointed needles or size to obtain gauge

Note: I can comfortably fit 56 stitches around a 16-inch circular needle. If you can’t fit the stitches around a 16-inch needle you could use double-pointed needles or a 12-inch circular needle.

Gauge: 5 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch

Materials:

Tape measure or ruler

Scissors

Stitch marker

Yarn needle

 

Here is some information you might like to know about the Strawberry Charm:

 

Needles: US size 1 set of 4 double-pointed needles

Yarn: Small amounts of Spud & Chloë Fine in Red Hot #7815 and Cricket #7804

Materials:

Embroidery needle

Scissors

Stitch marker

 

Enjoy!

        Hi Judy. I’m not sure what the problem is with that. Could you try again or do you have another computer to try from?

    I am so totally in love with this hat! I’m early in my pregnancy and almost hope it’s a girl just so I have an excuse to make this hat! (I might do it anyway for my niece!!)

    Thanks so much for the beautiful patterns and inspiration! This is one of my favorite knitting sites.

    hello, can you give me this explication in french please ?

    The pattern to this very cute hat is not the same pattern for the hat in the picture. The pattern says to knit rounds 1-7, but the hat in the picture is purled the first 4-5 rounds, not knitted, then knitted for a few rounds, pulled for a few rounds then knitted for maybe 7 rounds. It’s hard to say just looking at the picture. Not sure if it’s the wrong picture or the wrong pattern. I decided to try and knit the hat by looking at the picture instead of the actual pattern.

      *pulled is suppose to be purled. Gotta love auto correct. :)

      The picture of the hat looks like the decrease pattern is the same as the written pattern. It’s only the first part of the hat that looks different then the written pattern.
