NATURALLY K494 EASY BABY & TODDLER HATS KNITTING PATTERN
Three easy knitted hat styles for babies and toddlers, each with its own simple texture and finish.
Pattern overview: All three hats are knitted flat from the lower edge, shaped at the crown and finished with a back seam. Hat 1 combines a ribbed brim with stocking stitch, Hat 2 has a rolled stocking-stitch edge with rib and reverse stocking stitch, and Hat 3 pairs a ribbed brim with garter stitch. A confident-beginner project for practising rib, basic texture, crown decreases and neat seaming.
