Modern mums like bright bold colours for their newborns, so I made these cute little newborn baby hats with bright bold stripes. They are very easy to knit.
Hope you like them.

Sew up the seam. Darn away ends.

ReplyDeleteHave a nice day - Nata xxx
Happy Sunday Mariana....;) .... These are so lovely,great combination and pattern.....Thanks for always sharing.
ReplyDelete:). Ilove this pattern! If I wanted to make it for a larger head...I would need to do a multiple of 4 +2 (for the rib section) to the length/number of stitches I wanted right? And then do a wider section of rib/rows. When I get to the top, would I be able to keep the pattern of decreases you provide?
ReplyDeleteAlso. For making them larger...so the hat fits well, do you do the total length one inch or two shorter than the persons head circumference so it stays on?
Thanks!
Did you ever get an answer to your Question? I am also interested in making these hats bigger?
ReplyDeletecan you help to give a pattern for them in the next two sizes bigger please
ReplyDeleteI just found this blog and have high hopes for it to continue. Keep up the great work, its hard to find good ones. I have added to my favorites. Thank You.
