Baby Star Hat Knitting Pattern - 4Ply (BC63)
A sweet baby hat featuring a delicate lace star radiating from the crown for a timeless heirloom look. The softly shaped design and neat ribbed brim create a comfortable fit, making this a beautiful accessory for everyday wear or a thoughtful handmade gift.
The pattern includes two construction options to suit your preferred knitting style. Knit the hat seamlessly in the round using double-pointed needles, or work it flat on straight needles before seaming. Starting at the crown and finishing with a ribbed brim ensures a smooth, well-shaped finish with minimal sewing.
Photographed in 4 Ply Merino, a soft, lightweight yarn that showcases the lace pattern beautifully while remaining gentle against delicate skin.
