Baby Bow Hat Tutorial

I saw a picture of a hat similar to this on Pinterest that was knitted. I don't know how to knit, frankly, it confuses me. But I HAD to make this hat, so I decided to make up a pattern for it and thought i'd share. Enjoy!

Materials"

Med-weight yarn in two colors of choice. (I used "Vanna's Choice")

4.25 mm hook or size "G"

Yarn Needle

(This makes a size 6 mos.)

Start with a magic circle

Row 1: Ch 1, 9 sc in magic circle and join with a sl st

Work in back loops for next 7 rows.

Row2: Ch 3, dbl in same st, 2dbl in BACK LOOPS of each sc around, join with a sl st in 3rd ch.

Row 3: Ch 3, dbl in same st,* dbl in next st, 2 dbl in next st* repeat from * all the way around, join with sl st.

Row 4: Ch 3, dbl in same st, *dbl in next 2 st, 2 dbl in next st* repeat from * all the way around, join with sl st.

Row 5: Ch 3, dbl in same st, *dbl in next 3 st, 2 dbl in next st* repeat from * all the way around, join with sl st.

Rows 6-7: Ch3, dbl in same st and each stitch around, join with sl st. Tie off after row 7.

CHANGE COLORS

Row 8: Join new color with sl st. (Still working in back loops) Ch 3, dbl in same st and each st around. Join with a sl st.

Row 9: Work in BOTH loops, Ch 3, dbl in same st and each st around. Join with sl st. Tie off.

CHANGE BACK TO FIRST COLOR

Rows 10-12: Join new color with sl st, ch 1 and sc in ea st around. Join with sl st. Tie off after row 12.

For the Bow:

Row 1: Ch 24, join with sl st to make a circle.

Rows 2-6: Ch1, sc in each stitch around, join with sl st. Tie off.

Lay the circle flat so there are two layers on top of one another. Pinch right in the middle and tie a piece of yarn around pinched off section and tie a knot. Wrap yarn around 5-6 times and tie off in the back.

Take your yarn needle and sew the bow to the second color "band" on the hat making sure it lays flat. I like to only sew the back layer of the bow so it still has some shape. And voila! You have a darling winter hat for your baby.

Enjoy! :o)
