It seems like every day a customer comes into the store looking for a quick baby knit. We usually recommend a sweater, but why not a hat? They’re great for protecting little heads from the sun and for keeping warm in the air conditioning.
Kathy came up with three adorable hat patterns using a wonderful baby yarn, Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. Each hat has a different brim and crown–you could make just one, or present the new parents with a set. Click here to download the pattern.
These hats are a great addition to your baby pattern repertoire, especially if you’re looking for a last-minute gift!

Where can I buy some of these? I am looking to get some for some studio portrait sessions I have coming up!
They are adorable!
I started on my first hat last night and it’s already looking cute! Thanks for the pattern, Kathy!
i would like to make this hat in a bigger baby size than newborn? can you tell me how to change the pattern to size it up?
thanks!
The hats are adorable. My daughter has been asking for a striped hat and I wanted to use the baby cashmerino I had on hand.
I also would like to know how to size up this hat (see Judi’s comment). I would be interested in a size for 5 yr old. Many thanks.
LOVE these hats! One question. Are they knit on circular or dpns? I’m more comfortable with circ. needles. Thanks!
We started with a circular and switched to double points. If you don’t like dpn’s, you could use 2 circ’s or the magic loop technique.
Hi! These hats are so cute!! I wanted to make a rolled brim hat with an icord top for my one year old nephew. Could you tell me how to size-up this pattern? Thank you and Happy Holidays!!!
I love these hats but my grandkids have big heads. Lol. Please could u give measures or patterns for larger sizes. Thanks in advance, Linda.
Thank you for the newborn pattern. I also would like to know if there are changes for a little larger hat. Say 1-2 yrs of age. Thank you so very much. Joan.
On version 3, after the seed st. rim, do you change to larger needles-as the other patterns. Thankyou!!
Yes, change to your larger needles.
Thank you!! I thought so but I wanted thee expert who came up with these adorable beanies.
Am joining the chorus of those who would like to know how to make these for an older child – so cute!
I am trying it with a larger gauge for a 6 month old baby. Using US 5 DPN and thicker yarn.
Thanks for posting these cute patterns. I have some Cashmerino and want to knit up a quick hat.
