Knitted hats for Milo

Here are the hats I made for Milo:


 (newborn version)
Use size 4 circular needles
Cast on 54 stitches
Knit for about 5 inches
(Knit 8 rows, then purl 8 rows, repeat)
Then knit 2 stitches together all the way around.
Knit the next row
Then knit 2 stitches together all the way around
Then use a needle and pull the stitches together and knot off.



 (newborn version)
Use size 4 circular needles
Cast on 56 stitches
Knit2, Purl2 all the way around for 12 rows
Knit for 22 rows
(The hat should now be 5 inches)
Then knit 2 stitches together all the way around.
Knit the next row
Then knit 2 stitches together all the way around
Then use a needle and pull the stitches together and knot off.

I got the yarn from Jimmy Bean Wool and I decided to go with Cotton Cascade Luna Yarn - Colors: 740 Coca & 713 Green.

  1. Hello. I'm wanting to make the 2nd hat. You stated to use size 4 circular needles...this may be a dumb question, but I'm having a hard time joining the work on the circular needles as it seems the work is too small for the needles (does that make sense?). I have size 4 16 inch circular needles...any advice, or do I have the wrong needles?

    1. Hi! Starting the hat on the small circular needles is a little hard but I was able to force it together. After it's together I found knitting the rest is a lot easier. Once I started decreasing the rows at the end of the hat, it becomes a little harder but I was able to finish. You might find a better patten on ravelry, if this one doesn't work out for you.
