A hat for Baby G

Since Baby G's blanket is going nowhere, I decided to knit something with instant gratification. What better than a baby hat? With a little one at home, I only get a few minutes here and there to pick up my knitting needles, but I was able to finish this in only a few days. It's too big on her, but she'll grow into it this winter, I'm sure. I made the pattern up, so I don't really have anything exact to post. I didn't keep track of rows or decreases or anything. It could be prettier, but I just wanted quick results.


Caron Simply soft
size 8 needles
cast on 70
2x2 ribbing for an inch or so
row 1: *(ktbl, p)*
row 2: p
row 3: k
row 4: p
Knit until desired height. For decreases:
row 1: *(k2tog tbl, p)* to end of row
row 2: p
row 3: repeat row 1
Do this until you have about 12 or so stitches left on the needle. Pull yarn through and seam up the side.
