This cute baby/children’s hat captivates with fantastic cables, that merge at the top.
The decrease rounds blend into the cable pattern, almost invisible and create a beautiful look. The ear flaps are very handy for keeping small ears warm and keeping the beanie on the little one’s head.
The Icord bands to tie the hat are knit at the same time.

This seamless design is suitable for beginners: knit in one piece in the round with a simple, but effective cable pattern. Due to the stretchy cables pattern, the beanie grows with the child for some time. So you have a long pleasure with that pretty bonnet.

Have fun knitting!
