This pattern is available for free.

The hat is worked in stockinette st with a spiral decrease and a turned up ribbed cuff. The 10” size is small enough to fit newborns in developing countries--consider it a preemie hat.



Materials:

Approx 17 (23) gms sock weight yarn

Set of five 3.0mm DPNs or size needed to obtain guage

Waste yarn for tubular cast on (optional)



I like a Tubular Cast On for a stretchy edge and have included instructions in the pattern.
