Baby Hat

Lion Brand® Velvetspun

GAUGE:

9 stitches + 14 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on wrong side). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Baby Hat Reviewed by Lynne Hughs on 2009-06-13 *****
I've made several of these hats and they are such a huge hit!!!! It's an easy project, I can usually finish it in one evening, maybe 2. The yarn is so fabulous! Even though you have to sew a seam, the yarn is so plush, you can hardly see or feel the seam when it's done.
