Willow Baby Beanie

Introducing the charming sideways knit beanie pattern, perfect for little ones aged 1 to 4 months and 4 to 8 months! This snug and stylish little hat is designed to start at the back and knit sideways around the head, cleverly forming adorable earflaps along the way. Ideal for keeping your baby's head warm and cozy, this unique beanie is not only functional but also makes for a delightful accessory.

**Size:** This beanie pattern fits infants in two size ranges: 1 - 4 months and 4 - 8 months.

**Yarn Requirements:** For the best results, use a sport-weight yarn like Willow by Zealana, which is made from a luxurious blend of 70% NZ Merino and 30% Cashmere. You'll need just 1 ball of yarn A (a contrasting color) and 1 ball of yarn B (the main color) to create this beautiful beanie.

**Needles and Gauge:** You'll need 10” or longer straight needles in size US 5 - 7 to achieve the perfect fit. Aim for a gauge of 22 stitches per 4 inches in stockinette stitch to ensure your hat turns out just right.

**Additional Supplies:** Don't forget to have a tapestry needle on hand for finishing touches. We also recommend using a magnetic board to help you keep track of the many rows involved in this fun knitting project, making it easier to follow along.

This baby beanie pattern is not only a great project for beginner knitters but also offers a rewarding challenge for seasoned crafters looking to create a cozy accessory for the little one in their life. Get ready to knit this charming beanie and keep those little ears warm all season long!
