Tah Dah! My second FO is done from my cast on-itis!!

Pattern: Double Rib Toddler Hat by Torunn Espe
Size: 1-2 years
Yarn: Berroco Comfort DK in Blue and Menthe
Needles: US 4 circular
Mods: omitted the I-cord on the ear flaps
This hat just fits my 9 month old. He does have a head in the 90th percentile but it’s not ginormous. The ear flaps cover nicely. But I wish it was a bit bigger. Here’s hoping it fits in the fall! I think I’m going to knit another with the colors flipped as I have enough yarn leftover. My jogless stripes could use some practice anyway
Below is pretty much a summary of how the photo shoot went. It’s a unique challenge to get a baby to both wear the garment and sit still. But at least I think he likes it?
Happy Knitting!




I worked for six inches past the heel and then used a stretchy bind off. I didn’t alter the ribbing for a cuff. Turns out that was dumb!
Upon putting it on his foot the hubby found it to be too loose and the top rolled down. I threw in about four evenly spaced increases that need to come out and I need to devise some sort of ribbed cuff for structure. What do you think? 2×2….3×3? These things I must ponder.
