Birthday or Celebration Hat
Celebrate in style. Whether it’s a first birthday party or grandpa’s retirement ‘do’, this hat is guaranteed to raise a smile.
Four sizes (baby, toddler, child and adult) are included along with a selection of embellishments!
You will need: Up to 300 m of Aran or WW yarn in any colour you like, an appropriate hook, a stitch marker, some lightweight card*, 1m of elastic or ribbon and a needle for neatening ends.
*The card is used to add stiffness to the hat. For photo shoots with a new baby, you may prefer to replace card with soft felt, partially fill with soft stuffing for a more flexible moulding shape or leave out altogether (as per Sweet Pea Photography Pic)
If sewing the trims on doesn’t thrill you, a hot glue gun could be useful.
Gauge: 4sts and 3 rows to 2.5 cm (1”) in UK htr.
Both US and UK versions of the pattern are available to download.
Patterns are fully tested.
