About the patterns

Really any baby patterns are fine, and you can knit in any wool you like, all sizes and shapes welcome!

But, please use acrylic wool, as the hats will have to be washed at very high temperatures.

The patterns below are either for knitting in the round (using 2.5mm DPNs) or on a pair of 2.5mm knitting needles then sewn together. Simply choose the pattern you wish to use. Crochet patterns are also available separately.

Your support is really appreciated.
