Knitted Toddler Hat

I found this yarn at Wally World and just loved the color scheme. It’s your basic acrylic Red Heart Super Saver yarn ($3.29/skein) called “Earth & Sky.”

The hat pattern is a hybrid of a couple of different patterns.

  • 1 skein of Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Earth & Sky (5 oz/141 g; 244 yards)
  • Size 6 straight needles (or size to obtain gauge)
  • Gauge: 20 sts + 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
  • CO 84
  • Work in K2 P2 ribbing for 8 rows (about 1-1/4 inches)
  • Work in stockinette stitch for 40 rows (about 6-1/4 inches)
  • BO
  • With WS, join with mattress stitch
  • With RS, gather top of hat into three equal sections to form a “T” and sew top with binding exposed.
  • I embellished with simple tassels, but you could put pompoms or bells if you’d like.

My one-year-old, Charlotte, wears it well with her blue eyes and sandy brown hair.
