Flutterby - Pixie Hat

This charming newborn-sized pixie hat is perfect for keeping your little one cozy and stylish! Crafted with the softest Angora yarn alongside a delicate border, this hat is not only adorable but also incredibly comfortable for your baby’s delicate skin. For this project, you only need a very small amount of yarn, making it an excellent option for using up leftovers from your stash.

To add an extra touch of whimsy, I knitted four delightful little butterflies using some leftover sock yarn. A matching knitted pom-pom completes the look, tying everything together beautifully. By consistently starting the butterflies with the same color from your variegated yarn, your butterflies will maintain a pleasingly similar appearance, adding to the overall charm of the hat.

The hat is elegantly finished with pale pink ribbons, providing a sweet accent that every newborn will love. If you have concerns about wool allergies, rest assured! You can easily skip the angora and opt for cotton or even organic cotton yarn. Keep in mind that cotton tends to stretch more and may result in a slightly larger hat, so adjusting your needle size might be necessary.

To maintain the hat's perfect fit, remember to wash cotton in hot water to return it to its original size, as cold water will exacerbate any stretching. This newborn-size pixie hat is a perfect gift for baby showers or as a special treat for your own little one.
