Matching No-Seam Newborn Hat
Copyright Beverly A. Qualheim
2005 - All Rights Reserved.
Materials:
1 oz soft 4 ply worsted weight yarn.
Size
I hook
Make the BAND
(brim)
first...
Directions:
Ch 5
Row 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from the
hook and in the next 3 sts. Ch 1 and turn.
Row 2: Sc in 2nd sc from hook (back
Loops only throughout). Sc in each sc across, ch 1 and turn
Repeat Row 2 until band measures 10.5" - 11" . Next you will be
doing the TOP of the hat.
Now
you will form the TOP of the hat, working in rounds:
Fold band in half and sl st shut. Ch 1 and work around edge of
band ~ sc 37 evenly around band, join with sl st into top of first
sc.
(back loops only)
Chain 3
Rnd 1: Dc in 2nd ch from hook and
in each st around. 36 sts Join with sl st into top of 1st st, ch 3,
turn
Row 2-5 : Repeat Row 1 until the
hat measures about 3.5" - 4" from the beginning.
Decreasing for
top:
Row 1: *Dc in 2 sts, Dc 2 sts together
(go through backs of sts); repeat from * around. Ch 1 and join.
Rows 2 and other even rows,
Dc in
each Dc around; ch 1 and join.
Row 3: *Dc in 2 sts, Dc 2 sts together;
rep from * around. Ch 1 and join.
Row 5: *Dc in 1 st, Dc 2 sts together;
rep from * around. Ch 1 and join.
Row 7: Dc across and finish off.
Leaving a 12" tail to gather top and sew side seam.
For a creative BAND - add a row of shell stitch. Roll up the brim/band, and add yarn again. Into the first stitch dc 5 sts. skip 2 sts and dc 5 more into the next st. Continue around. Or you can be creative. I like to make a loopy edge by sc into the first stitch of the brim, ch 5, sk 1 st and sc into next. Continue around.
(Hat can be made smaller for tinier babies, simply by using baby yarn, or a smaller hook.)
1
oz baby yarn, sport yarn or soft worsted weight like Caron Simply Soft.

Finished size of sole is approx 3.5", height of bootie from heel to top
of cuff = 3" (Cuff can be rolled over)
Note: The entire piece is worked round and round from the right side. Be sure the counts are correct for each round and work to keep the heel back seam straight.
