This delightfully simple free baby hat knitting pattern is all stockinette all the way, starting with an effortless rolled brim. For the crown, you’ll decrease in a spiral pattern at just three points, creating a slightly pointed shape and the look of swirling, layered petals about to burst into bloom!
Now for the really fun part… You can choose whether to finish your hat with a darling, little knot or with a bitty loop! Either way, you’ll knit a short I-cord and follow our instructions to secure it.
Morning yarn is just right for tender babes. It is very soft and machine washable, and its mix of organically grown cotton and yak is cozy in cold weather yet breathable and cool in warm weather, too!
A palette of cheery, up-with-the-sun colors gives you so many happy options to play with. We designed this free baby hat knitting pattern in a range of sizes, since heads grow so fast… You’ll just have to make a variety of colors, in a mix of knot and loop closures, to create a whole bouquet of hats!

Thread tail onto a tapestry needle. Draw tail through tip of I-cord, leaving enough ease so I-cord remains straight, then weave it into the inside of the Crown.
Weave in any remaining ends and gently wet block.
Tie I-cord in a knot, and you’re done!

Thread tail onto a tapestry needle. Make a loop with I-cord and draw tail through fabric at base of I-cord, then weave it into the inside of the Crown.
