Darling Hat

Introducing a delightful design from the New Girl layette collection by Tot Toppers, this adorable knitting pattern is showcased alongside a coordinating ensemble from the collection. The New Girl collection is available both as a beautifully crafted booklet and as a convenient e-book, with individual patterns also accessible for those looking to knit specific items.

Diamonds truly are a girl’s best friend, and this cozy hat will be eagerly awaiting her arrival. Featuring charming bitty ear flaps that are knit first and seamlessly incorporated into the cast-on round, this hat is a unique blend of style and comfort. The finishing touches include an eye-catching i-cord edging, a playful pom-pom, and whimsical braided tassels, ensuring this plush, soft cap stands out in any baby wardrobe. Notably, this design is the only piece in the New Girl collection that showcases an all-over Fair Isle pattern, making it a standout choice for your little one's first hat.

If you're preparing for a baby to be born in warmer weather, consider simplifying the design by knitting just one set of diamonds. This adjustment will create a lighter hat, perfect for those sunny, summer days. The sample shown is in a Newborn size, providing a great fit for tiny heads.

Our lovely sample is made using The Plucky Knitter Plucky Feet yarn, offering a luxurious feel and fantastic durability. Below, you'll find suggested substitute yarn options to suit your personal style and budget. Start knitting this enchanting hat today, and celebrate the arrival of your little princess with a touch of diamond charm!
