Super Chunky Baby Beanie – Knit an Easy Baby Hat in the Round

Want to knit a baby hat in the round? Here’s a good pattern to start with. It’s a baby beanie using a super bulky yarn on 9.5mm double-pointed needles (you can make your own DPNs in that size for about $3) and all you need to know how to do is the knit stitch and k2tog.

I say in the video that it could fit a baby up to 3 months but I tried it on my large-headed 6-month-old and it wasn’t TOO tight on him, so I’ve revised the sizing to 0-6 months. Really though, this hat will stretch a lot, as knitted hats do.

Yarn
