All-New Twenty to Make: Knitted Baby Hats

“From the practical to the whimsical, these cute items are perfect for gifts and for new and weekend knitters. Also great for readers looking for a fresh way to keep their baby’s head warm this winter.” Library Journal

Hats are a timeless must-have baby item – so what could be better than making one yourself? This cute and colorful book is filled with 20 knitted hats to keep your little one cozy as well as on-trend. Whether you fancy making a simple beanie or bonnet, a cute panda, fox or bee, a colorful watermelon or strawberry or a quirky tassel hat, this book has it all. Choose from hats with ears, stripes, pompoms, topknots and more – all the techniques are included.

The designs fall into 4 categories:

• basic simple beanies (with a pompom, a rainbow stripe, a top knot, a fair isle pattern and a bow)
• animal hats (fox, panda, bear)
• food hats (apple, watermelon, pumpkin)
• quirky hats (elf-style, square with tassels, bonnet, cat ears and a pixie bonnet).

The book features:

• Clear instructions and simple patterns.
• As babies vary so much in size, each design can be made in three sizes: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months.
• The yarns recommended are all hypoallergenic, washable and with some elasticity, to help the hats keep their shape.
• The hats use relatively small amounts of yarn so are ideal for quick, portable projects.
• Perfect for thoughtful gifts.

The book includes clear-cut depictions of basic techniques and patterns, and the author offers options that are sure to give recipients a special keepsake. There are some fun stitches too that add texture to otherwise straightforward designs. Her colorful projects also utilize tassels or playful brims for a delightful touch. She also presents fresh takes on Cabbage Patch Kids with produce-themed hats that include a design of an apple, pumpkin, and more.

This is a fantastic little project book in a handy pocket-size format, ideal for knitting on the go!
