\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a simple baby hat in several sizes. The wrapped stitches look more complicated than they are. I have included a photo tutorial on the technique.<\/p>\n

This is the straight needle version of the pattern. For the in-the-round version, go here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

There is also a pattern available for a coordinating baby blanket<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sizes:<\/strong>
\nSmall preemie – 8″ circumference, 4″ high
\nPreemie – 10″ circumference, 5.5″ high
\nNewborn – 12″ circumference, 6″ high
\n6 month – 14″ circumference, 7″ high
\n12 month – 16″ circumference, 7.5″ high
\nToddler – 18″ circumference, 8″ high<\/p>\n

\n0.5 to 1 oz (40 to 80 yards) of DK weight baby yarn
\nSize 6 (4 mm) needles
\nYarn needle<\/p>\n

Pattern:<\/strong>
\nSmall preemie – Cast on 49
\nPreemie – Cast on 61
\nNewborn – Cast on 73
\n6 month – Cast on 85
\n12 month – Cast on 97
\nToddler – Cast on 109<\/p>\n

Repeat instructions between * across the row.
\nRibbing (6 rows for preemie size, 8 rows for other sizes):
\nRow 1: * k2, p2 * k1
\nRow 2: p1 * k2, p2 *
\nRepeat these two rows until you have the size ribbing you want.<\/p>\n

Body:
\nRow 1: k
\nRow 2: p
\nRow 3: k1 * w2s, k4 *
\nRow 4: p
\nRow 5: k
\nRow 6: p
\nRow 7: * k4, w2s * k1
\nRow 8: p<\/p>\n

Repeat these eight rows (end with an even row) until the hat measures the desired height for size including the ribbing:
\nSmall preemie – 3″ high
\nPreemie – 4.25″ high
\nNewborn – 4.75″ high
\n6 month – 5.75″ high
\n12 month – 6.25″ high
\nToddler – 6.75″ high<\/p>\n

Crown:<\/strong>
\nRepeat instructions between * across the row.
\nRow 1: * k4, k2tog, ssk, k4 * k1
\nRow 2: p
\nRow 3: * k3, k2tog, ssk, k3 * k1
\nRow 4: p
\nRow 5: * k2, k2tog, ssk, k2 * k1
\nRow 6: p
\nRow 7: * k1, k2tog, ssk, k1 * k1
\nRow 8: p
\nRow 9: * k2tog, ssk * k1
\nCut the yarn with several inches to work with. With a yarn needle, pull the yarn through all the remaining loops, secure, stitch side and weave in end.<\/p>\n
