Size: Should fit a baby from 0-6 months Materials: 1 skein worsted wt. yarn (I used oddballs and it seems like a 50 gm. skein was plenty), plus small amount of contrasting color for the hearts. I used worsted weight wools, La Gran mohair, handspun angora (so soft for some lucky baby!) and a good quality chenille for my hats, all turned out great. If you do use a thicker yarn, you might need to make your "stem" longer, as it can be difficult to tie the knot if the yarn isn't as stretchy. Also, the mohair and the chenille made a larger hat. size 7 dp needles (I worked most of the hat on a #7 16" circular needle, then switched to the dps when I got to the decrease section). Pattern: Cast on 72 sts in main color. Working in the round, and knitting every round, knit 20 rounds. Your brim should be rolling up as you work. Work heart design in contrasting color: (Any colorwork pattern that's a multiple of 2, 4, or 8 stitches will work) Red = Main Color White = Contrasting Color Continue in MC until hat measures about 4 1/2" from the bottom of the rolled brim (in other words, DON'T unroll the brim to measure!), then begin decreasing: 1st dec row: k6, k2tog, repeat around 2nd dec row: k5, k2tog, repeat around 3rd dec row: k4, k2tog, repeat around 4th dec row: k3, k2tog, repeat around 5th dec row: k2, k2tog, repeat around 6th dec row: k1, k2tog, repeat around 7th dec row: k2 tog, repeat around You should have 9 sts on 3 needles. Work around on these sts for 3 1/2". Bind off. Tie the long "stem" into a knot. Weave in loose ends. Find a baby to adorn! Copyright 1997 Laurie Longinotti.
