Baby Slouch Pattern

Hi Knitters,

Added later: look at these posts to see the hat on a newborn size doll and a real live baby!

Baby Slouch...because every baby needs to be hip! is here for the taking. Here is some information you may like to know:

Yarn: Crystal Palace Mini Mochi (sample is knit in color #101) 1 ball, 195 yards.

Mini Mochi is a sock/fingering weight yarn. 

Any sock weight yarn will work great. Use up your extra sock yarn with this project.

Note about the yarn amount: I made the sample in the smallest size and I had a generous amount of yarn leftover. I am assuming one ball will be enough for all sizes, however, the largest size might possibly need 2 balls. When someone knits up a Baby Slouch in the largest size, please let me know if you made it with one or two balls. I think it will be close either way.

Sizes: 0-6 mths (6-12 mths, toddler, child)

This is a stretchy, snug fitting hat with up to and even a little over 2 inches of negative ease. The sizes in inches are as follows: 13.5 (14.75, 16, 17.25).

Needles: US size 3 sixteen-inch and a set of 4 double-pointed needles or size to obtain gauge.

Gauge: 6.5 stitches per inch in stockinette
Skill level: easy, easy!

Skills needed:

working in the round with circular and double-pointed needles (or magic loop if you prefer)

cast on

knit stitch

purl stitch

k2tog (knit 2 stitches together)

m1 (make one)

Although the gauge is on the finer side this hat is so simple in construction that it is a total no-brainer, so easy and relatively quick. This is a good beginner project using only a few easy techniques.

Slouch away!
