The night before I went into labor I finished up a couple of quick baby knits. Perhaps jellybean was just that anxious to wear them, lol?
Here is the first one: Checkerboard Baby Hat by Heidi Sunday. It’s a free Ravelry pattern!
Yarn: Knit Picks Comfy Worsted in Celestial
Needles: US 8 circulars and DPNs
Size: newborn
Mods: none
I used hardly any yarn for this project. It took 48 yards or 22 grams of yarn. The pattern was easy to memorize and it only took a couple of hours to finish this hat.
Jellybean was obviously less than impressed with this hat. And with the way he is growing…it’s not going to fit for long, lol!
Happy Friday!


I like that hat. I call the checkerboard a basket weave design. I have used that design for scarves. Your little guy is growing up fast π
Aww, sweet baby hat!

Congratulations to the new mummy and the whole family! (Now you’ll have to learn to knit with the baby in your arms)))
