Here's another free newborn baby hat pattern. It's plain and simple and a breeze to knit.
I used Bernat's CottonTots yarn from my stash. This one happens to be 91713 Koolade. With US size 7 Turbo Addi's I cast on 56 sts and knit using the Magic Loop method until I had 6 inches. Then I started the decreases for the crown. This one is so easy, it practically knits itself.
Here's the full pattern - Download basic_newborn_baby_hat_rolled_brim.pdf
I hope you'll enjoy knitting up some quick and easy newborn and preemie hats for that favorite baby or favorite charity in your life. You'll be glad you did!
Would a knitted worsted yarn be ok to use. Thanks for the pattern. How would you adjust this pattern for a sport yarn Do not know the yarn you used

Just wanted to say Happy (early) Birthday... not a lot of WM-Knitters out here. As they say "Women Marines. Fewer. Prouder." Semper Fi, sister.
Thanks for the pattern. I'm just learning and would love to knit something to give to others. But I probably need to finish something first. :)

Thanks for the hat patterns, Jennifer. I knit more baby hats than just about anything, so I always appreciate the patterns.
I loved the pics of the boys in their costumes, so cute!
