Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, you'll appreciate the simplicity of this pattern as you knit a thoughtful gift to welcome a new little one into the world.

Yarn:

For this delightful project, we recommend using Light (weight: 3) cotton or cotton-blend yarn. The hats displayed in our examples utilize approximately 90 yards (38 grams) of Lion Brand’s Coboo, a luxurious blend consisting of 50% cotton and 50% rayon derived from bamboo. For the solid version of the hat, you'll need 90 yards (38 grams) of your chosen yarn, beautifully shown in grass green and ice blue colors. If you'd like to experiment with two-color stripes, gather 55 yards (24 grams) of the main color (illustrated in steel blue) and 45 yards (20 grams) of a contrasting color (depicted in silver). For a vibrant, fun rainbow-striped version, gather 40 yards (21 grams) of color A, plus 10 yards (5 grams) each of colors B through G. The rainbow design is stunningly illustrated using silver (color A), magenta (color B), orange (color C), yellow (color D), grass green (color E), steel blue (color F), and lilac (color G).
