Knit a little bit of spring magic!

The Petal & Leaf hat is a joyful project that looks wonderfully detailed but is designed to be a gentle, satisfying knit. With its playful rolled brim and charming i-cord stems, it’s the perfect “go-to” gift for a new arrival or a cheerful addition to a child’s wardrobe.

Why you’ll love it:
I designed this pattern to be approachable and fun. It begins with a simple rolled brim and just enough ribbing to keep things interesting. The stockinette body works up quickly on larger needles, and the floppy leaves add a touch of creative personality—they can flop wherever they may! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned maker, this hat is a great way to practice gentle skill growth. See the full video tutorial: https://bit.ly/petalandleaf

The Yarn:
This project features Baa Baa Bulky, our biggest and squishiest 100% fine merino wool. It is incredibly soft against sensitive skin and—most importantly for busy parents—it is machine washable for real life.
