Contrast Stripe Knotted Baby Beanie

A striped knotted beanie, hand knitted in luxury cashmere blend yarn for babies from newborn to 2 years.

I have used Sirdar's Cashmere, Merino and Silk DK, made from a 5% cashmere, 75% merino wool and 20% silk blend. A beautiful, luxurious yarn that is soft, not itchy and machine washable; perfect for your baby’s delicate skin. Any other DK (8 ply) can be used as long as the required knitting tension is achieved, I have added some alternative yarn suggestions in the materials section below.

The hat is knitted in a two colour stripe with a contrast colour roll edge hem and a knot detail.

Knitted in one piece on single pointed needles, sizes 3.25mm & 4mm.

An easy to follow pattern, skills required: casting on, stripes worked in stocking stitch and decrease shaping for the crown and knot detail. The hat has a central back seam.
