Pretty as a Petal

Introducing the charming Flower Hat, a delightful knitting pattern sure to please any little girl! This versatile design features two adorable versions: one with a cozy seed stitch band and a plain crown adorned with elegant bullion stitch embroidery, and the other showcasing a playful slip stitch pattern band paired with a vibrant, stripey crown topped off with a whimsical I-cord swirl. Both variations are knitted in the round using a 40cm / 16-inch circular needle, along with a set of 4 double-pointed needles (dpns) of the same size for smaller sections.

This pattern not only showcases your knitting skills, but it also provides a fun and creative project for you to enjoy. While the beanie is primarily knitted, some hand sewing is required, along with techniques for picking up and knitting stitches to enhance the hat’s overall design. The written instructions are comprehensive and are accompanied by detailed explanatory photos, ensuring that knitters of all levels can successfully create this stunning piece.

Included with the knitting pattern is a helpful introduction to circular knitting, perfect for beginners looking to expand their skills. You'll also find a section dedicated to the various techniques and abbreviations used throughout the pattern, making it easy for you to follow along. The gauge for this pattern is 22 stitches to 10cm (or 5.5 stitches to 1 inch) over stocking stitch, ensuring that your Flower Hat fits comfortably and looks fantastic.
