Easy Peasy Baby Hat tutorial
This hat is so simple to make, that I almost feel silly writing a tutorial for it. They look adorable though, and it is a nice way to use up smaller sweater scraps.
Cut a rectangle from a cotton ribbed sweater, using the finished hem of the sweater as one of the short ends of the rectangle. I usually eyeball the size or use another hat as a pattern.
Stitch the hat together on three sides, with the finished side remaining unstitched. You can use a tight zig zag stitch or a serger, and as you stitch the top side, pull the sweater taut as you sew, spreading the sweater ribs out. Don’t do this on the side seams though!
Turn hat right side out. Poke out the corners with a chopstick and enjoy the stripey monster-ey cuteness!
