Baby's Fox Hat for Straight or Circular Needles

Download our adorable PDF knitting pattern to create a cute baby’s fox hat that is sure to become a favorite! This delightful hat can be knitted using either circular needles or a pair of straight needles, making it suitable for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this fun project will allow you to explore new techniques while crafting a charming accessory for little ones.

Using circular needles is particularly enjoyable, as this hat pattern serves as an excellent introduction to circular knitting for those who haven't tried it before. To knit this adorable hat, you'll need 4.5mm and 5mm circular needles, with a maximum length of 40cm, or you can use double-pointed needles (DPNs) if that’s your preference. If you choose to stick with straight needles, simply have a set of 4.5mm and 5mm knitting needles handy.

For the yarn, we recommend using Drops Big Merino, but any comparable aran weight yarn will work perfectly, such as Schachenmayr Merino Extra Fine 85 or Sublime Extra Fine Merino. To add some delightful ear fluff to your adorable fox hat, we included a small amount of DROPS Alpaca Boucle. Please keep in mind that substituting yarns may yield different results in terms of texture and appearance.

This knitting pattern is versatile, designed to fit multiple sizes, and includes options for 0-6 months, 6-12 months, and 12-24 months. Enjoy the process of creating a whimsical and heartwarming piece that will not only keep little heads warm but also make for charming photo opportunities.
