YARN
I Love This Yarn! Solids (100% acrylic; 355 yards / 325 meters per 198 grams) Feel free to substitute any aran weight (10 ply, 8 wpi) yarn. Note: You will use between 40 and 80 yards of yarn total, divided evenly between MC and CC
NEEDLES
US 9 / 5.5 mm double-pointed needles
NOTIONS
Darning needle for weaving in ends One button
GAUGE
16 sts =" in stockinette stitch (row gauge unimportant)
SIZES
newborn (0-3 months, 3-6 months) 12 (13, 14)" circumference
ABBREVIATIONS
CC = contrasting color CO = cast on K = knit K2TOG = knit two stitches together MC = main color P = purl RND = round STS = stitches
DIRECTIONS
2X2 RIBBING
Using long tail method and MC, CO 48 (52, 56) sts. Divide sts evenly on 3 dpns, and be careful not to twist. Rnd 1-4: [K 2, P 2] around.
HAT BODY
Rnd 5-8: Change to CC and K all sts around. Rnd 9-12: Change to MC and K all sts around. Repeat rnds 5-12 until hat measures 3.5 (4, 4.5)" from cast on edge.
SHAPE CROWN
Note: Continue to switch between MC and CC every 4 rows throughout the decreases. Rnd 1: (k4, k2tog) around. Rnd 2 (and all even rows): k all sts. Rnd 3: (k3, k2tog) around. Rnd 5: (k2, k2tog) around. Rnd 7: (k1, k2tog) around. Rnd 9: k2tog around.
FINISHING
Break yarn, leaving a long tail. Use darning needle to thread yarn through remaining sts. Pul yarn tight and secure. Weave in all ends. NOTE: When decreasing the larger size hats, you will have stitches left over after the last k2tog - two extra for the 0-3 month size, and four extra for the 3-6 month size. These stitches will be absorbed into the decreases as you go along, have no fear!
