Eyelet Hat Pattern

And another!

Eyelet Hat



This pattern is knitted in the round on DPNs and if you're comfortable using them, the hat is a fast knit (with no seams to sew at the end!)

There's no need to worry about gauge as premature babies are all different, whatever your gauge, your finished hat will fit an angel.

Materials:

Baby DK yarn (in your choice of colour)
1 set 4mm DPNs
Yarn needle


Directions:

Cast on 36 sts, place 12sts on each needle.

Join the round, being careful not to twist the stitches as you do. You can, if you wish, place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round but I just the tail from casting on as a marker.
