hat bain

Size:  
Newborn - to fit heads 35-37 cm (14 - 14 & 1/2")
(the pattern for 3-6 month size is in the comments section of this post, below)

Gauge:
26 stitches and 36 rows = 4" (10cm) in stocking stitch

Materials:
3.5mm needles (US size 4), or whatever size is needed to obtain gauge
1 x 50g ball of dk weight yarn (I used Sublime baby cashmere merino silk dk in shade 0006, 'pebble' - this one ball of wool will do your hat and your mitts)
Tapestry needle

CO 78 stitches (I use cable cast-on because it creates a lovely edge)
Continue in K1, P1 seed stitch until you have 4 cm (1 & 1/2") of knitting on your needles

Continue to work in stocking (stockinette) stitch for a further 5cm (2").

Crown decreases:
Row 1:  K1, (K2tog, K5) to end.  (67 stitches on the needle)
Row 2:  Purl
Row 3:  K1 (K2tog, K4) to end.  (56 stitches on the needle)
Row 4:  Purl
Row 5:  K1 (K2tog, K3) to end.  (45 stitches on the needle)
Row 6:  Purl
Row 7:  K1 (K2tog, K2) to end.  (34 stitches on the needle)
Row 8:  Purl
Row 9:  K1 (K2tog, K1) to end.  (23 stitches on the needle)
Row 10:  Purl
Row 11:  K1 (K2tog) 11 times.  (12 stitches on the needle)

Break off yarn leaving a 30cm (12") tail.  Thread this tail through your tapestry needle and thread through remaining 12 stitches, removing them from the knitting needle.

Draw up tightly and fasten off so there is no hole.

Sew up hat along seam using the mattress stitch.   Weave in ends.

Position seam along centre back of hat.

The 3-6 month size is as follows:

CO 81 stitches

Work in moss stitch for 4cm, finishing after a ws row

Work in stockinette stitch for a further 5 cm, finishing after a knit row

Decrease 3 stitches evenly across the next row (this will be a purl row). Decrease one stitch each (P2tog) at around the 20th stitch, 40th stitch and 60th stitch.

You will now have 78 stitches on the needle.

Begin crown decreases:
Crown decreases are as for the 0-3 month size above.

Follow instructions for the 0-3 month size for drawing up, fastening-off and sewing up.
