Double Pom-pom Baby Hat

The second of 3 hats requested. I had a tiny thumbnail of a picture of something she liked, so I wrote up a little pattern for this hat.

It’s kind of a funny little hat. Again, I don’t have a baby head to model this on, so our coffee canister will have to do…again.

I’ll post the pattern below.

Double Pom-pom Baby hat (Unless you guys can come up with a better name for it!)

Supplies:
Size 4 DPN’s
3 colors of your choice (I used all Vanna’s Choice Yarn)
Pom-Pom maker

Cast on 72 stitches in Purple, join in the round
Rows 1- 8: *Knit 2, Purl 2* Rep to end
(Switch to white)
Row 9-11: Knit to end
Rows 12-14: Purl to end
(Switch to pink)
Rows 15-17: Knit to end
Rows 18-20: Purl to end
(Switch to purple)
Rows 21-23: Knit to end
Rows 24-26: Purl to end
Switch colors every six rows, repeat rows 9-26 two more times (For a total of 9 horizontal ribs)

Bind off all stitches, lay flat and whip stitch closed. Using a pom-pom maker make two pompoms out of the pink and attach to top corners and voila! Enjoy your baby hat.

It reminds me of fraglerock!

Or “Rah Rah” as in a cheerleader?! I think it would be cute on a little baby, but on an older kid maybe a little strange?

It’s the Chowder hat! Love it!

Que lindo, muchas gracias por compartir tu patron, saludos! =)

Do you allow selling of the finished product?

You can sell anything you make, but it is good manners to give the web site and name the creator of your pattern. No selling or giving away the pattern!!! That is copyright infraction. But you can sell any item made from the patterns, or give it away.

I would prefer you not use my pattern to sell. Thanks for asking, though!

Hi – I live in the UK – love the picture and I would like to make – what are DPN’s. Are these the knitting needles? would my nearest yarn be ‘double knitting’ in UK.

Jan, here is a good tutorial on Double Pointed Needles: http://www.knitpicks.com/tutorials/Double_Pointed_Needles__D118.html
I am sure you could make it on circular needles if you had the right size, or even knit it up flat and then just have a seam in the back!
