Yarn & Needles

For this adorable snowman hat, we recommend using Lion Brand Yarn 24/7 Cotton. You'll need less than 1 ball each in the following colors: white, aqua, tangerine, and black. The soft cotton yarn is gentle against a baby's skin and provides just the right amount of stretch while maintaining its shape.

You'll work with double pointed needles size 7 for this project, making it easy to create intricate details in your knitting. Don’t forget to have a tapestry needle on hand for weaving in those loose ends for a polished finish.
