Instructions

Working with 4 strands of worsted weight yarn, cast on:
- Newborn: 10 stitches
- 3 to 6 months: 14 stitches
- 6 to 12 months: 16 stitches
- 1 to 3 years: 18 stitches
- 3 to 5 years: 18 stitches
- 5 to 8 years: 18 stitches
- 8 to 12 years: 20 stitches
- Adult: 22 stitches
-
Knit every row until the rectangle measures:
- Newborn: 12 inches
- 3 to 6 months: 15 inches
- 6 to 12 months: 18 inches
- 1 to 3 years: 20 inches
- 3 to 5 years: 21 inches
- 5 to 8 years: 22 inches

- Adult: 24 inches
-
Cast off with 15-inch yarn ends. Fold the rectangle in half, (to form somewhat of a square shape), and sew up the back seam of the hood.
-
Turn the work right side out. Thread a length of fun yarn into a yarn needle, and pass through a row of stitches at the front of the hat. (This design passed the fun yarn through the second row in.)
-
Secure the fun yarn on each side of the hat with several stitches. (The fun yarn is not functional, it is purely for
decorative purposes.) -
Make 3 tassels (see below). Attach one to the top point of the hat, and one on each bottom front corner of the hat.
How to Make a Tassel
-
Wrap yarn around 4 fingers, approx. 20 times.
-
Tie the bundle together securely.
-
Tie another length of yarn around the tassel, to form a ball at the top.
-
Pull the ends of the knotted yarn through to the center of the tassel.
-
Trim the ends.
-
Use the two strands of yarn remaining to tie the tassel onto your work.
-
Weave the yarn ends into the finished work.
