I've searched the internet for a pattern for a newborn hat for boys, but there not so many choices. And I've seen with this particular design in the internet, a few of them. But I did not find anything that is a free pattern. Maybe there is one, but I did not come across with it. And I am impatient when it comes to finding a free pattern in the web, so I made my own version. It may look the same with others free or paid pattern, but I did not copy this with anyone. So here it is and I hope you will love this pattern.

Hi Madel
ReplyDeleteI have just made your holiday hat and really enjoyed it. Do you know what wool to us for the booties and hat in English wool? From Tina
Hi Tina, Thank you for trying my patterns. I am not very familiar with wool, I don't really have much access to wool yarn from where I am. This yarn I am using here is in Medium weight number 4. It's worseted. So go with that size. Hope that helps.
