I have been knitting ribbed baby hats for around 6 years now!
Because they are so stretchy, they are very practical......... And they seem to fit for ages!
I have now added new sizes, for toddlers and young children too.
Ribster Hats ~ for Babies, Toddlers, & Young Children |
Knit them as a beanie style hat - or add more rows if you prefer a turned-up brim.
And .... add a pom-pom if you like.
These hats look great knitted in a plain self-coloured yarn, or with a variegated yarn. You choose !

Thank you so much for these patterns. I wish to knit a beanie for my grandson before I see him in a couple of weeks so very timely.
