Cuddly Bear Hat

Adorable baby Cuddly Bear hat is basic knit with cute pompom ears on top. Quick and easy to knit beanie for a baby 0-3m. The hat is worked on DPNs, bottom - up, but can be knitted on long circular needles with magic loop method too. For the eyes and the black part of the bear’s muzzle I used a duplicate knit stitch. I knitted the white part with fair isle. You can do it either way.

Materials: beige/ black/ white premium acrylic DK yarn 100 g/ 300m For the hat I used approximately 19 g without the pompom ears
