Baby’s first hat in three yarn weights. The Party Pixie was inspired by a cardboard birthday hat but is a whole lot softer! This is a versatile pattern with two brim options and a fun (and easy) party tassel that is knit without ever breaking yarn.

Details on sizing up are included in the pattern. I’m working on a fingering weight version as well, which will be updated into this PDF.
