Hello again, I have another pattern for you. I came up with this making hats for the hospital in Ashland, WI while we were up visiting Jerek's family least week.
(This hat's Ravelry page.)
I didn't get to take a photo of most of the hats I made this way, as we were in a hurry to get on the road for home and I had to run in and drop these off just before we left, but all together I've made 5 of them, three of which went to the hospital to warm the babies of Ashland.
This is a very versatile pattern, changing the hook and yarn changes the size. For the one pictured, which would fit a 5 to 7 pound newborn I think, you will need thinner worsted weight (I used Berroco Comfort) and and a size G hook.
I've made the same pattern and got a larger newborn size with Bernat Cottontots and an F hook; a large preemie size using Berroco Comfort and a F hook; and a 0-3 month size with Red Heart with Love Solids (a thicker, Aran weight) and a G hook.
As you can see, if you want to make some hats for the hospital, you won't have a problem getting a neat variety. :)
Alrighty then:
Worsted weight yarn
G hook
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Chain 3, slip stitch in first stitch to form a ring,
ROUND 1: Chain 2, 10 dc in ring. join.
ROUND 2: Chain 2, dc in same stitch as sl st join. 2 dc in next stitch and each stitch around. Join. (20 stitches)
ROUND 3: Chain 2, dc in same st as sl st join. 1 dc in next st. *2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next st.* Repeat around. Join. (30 stitches)
ROUND 4: Chain 2, dc in same st as sl st join. 1 dc in next 2 st. *2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next 2 st.* Repeat around. (40 stitches)
ROUND 5-11: Chain 2, dc in each stitch around. Join. (40 stitches)
EDGING: You can leave the hat like this, or you can make a hdc or a sc edge. Don't do an edge that doesn't stretch, as you want the hat to be comfortable for a new baby to wear.
For variety you can add stripes, a pompom, etc. Have fun!
