Child Hat Knitting Pattern

This Child Hat Knitting pattern looks great on both boys and girls. The detail in the design makes this pattern a suitable choice for boys and girls.

This design uses a SKPO (slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over)

What next?

Firstly Knit in the round on size eight sixteen-inch circular needles and use DPNs for decreasing.

Next Cast on a multiple of eleven stitches which is also an even number. When deciding how many stitches to cast on 88 should be perfect for most knitters.

You should know work the band in two x two "rib knit" for around one inch. When making this hat some people choose to do a row of purled stitches. This remains entirely up to you.
