Sweet and Simple Hat

This hat is very sweet on a little one’s head and so simple to knit. It has a subtle hint of texture. It can be made with one or more colors. The stripes provide an opportunity to make use of small amounts of yarn left over from other projects. The simple texture stitch pattern can be found in Vogue Knitting – The Ultimate Knitting Book. **Supplies** Caron Simply Soft (100% Acrylic) or Berroco Comfort (50% Acrylic, 50% Nylon) or other worsted weight yarn US 7 16” circular needles US 7 double pointed needles Tapestry needle Stitch marker **Gauge** 5 stitches per inch with US7 needles and a stockinette swatch **Abbreviations** **K**: Knit **K1-tbl**: Knit 1 through the back loop **SSK**: Slip 2 stitches to the right needle.
