As promised earlier for those of you who have been working on Buzzy Bee Baby Blanket and have some yarn leftovers.
This hat is made for a 6-months old baby, but I don't have one currently available for modeling - so my model is of a slightly different nature!
So, presenting:

Little Buzzy Bee Hat.
Size
6 months, head circumstance 15.5 inch (40 cm)
Materials
Yarn: Knitpick's Swish worsted, Yellow - less then 1 skein (less than 50 g), Black - leftovers
( you can use any worsted weight yarn)
Needles: US 4 (3.5 mm), straight or circular
Gauge: 6 st x 1 inch (2.5 cm) in garter stitch
Pattern
Cast on 96 st.
Rows1-4 (yellow yarn): knit
Rows 5-6 (black yarn): knit
Rows7-10 (yellow yarn): knit
Rows 11-12 (black yarn): knit
Rows13-16 (yellow yarn): knit
Continue working the hat with yellow yarn in stockinette stitch (RS: knit all, WS: purl all) until the piece measures 4 inch (10 cm) from the cast-on row. Switch to black yarn for shaping of the top:
Row 1: *ssk, k22, repeat from * 4 times
Row 2 and all WS rows except 14: purl all
Row 3: *ssk, k21, repeat from * 4 times
Row 5: *ssk, k20, repeat from * 4 times
Row 7: *ssk, k5, repeat from * 12 times
Row 9: *ssk, k4, repeat from * 12 times
Row 11: *ssk, k3, repeat from * 12 times
Row 13: *ssk, repeat from * 24 times
NOTE WS: Row 14: *p3tog, repeat from * 8 times
Row 15: *ssk, repeat from * 4 times - at this point you should have 4 st on your needle.
Work the last 4 st in I-cord fashion for 4 more rows. Pull thread through the stitches, cut the yarn.
Saw the sides of the hat, weave in the ends, wash according to yarn specifications.
Have fun! It is such a nice feeling - to make things for a new human being that is coming into this world!
Happy Knitting!
Hey! Cute hat. I was wondering if you had any insight or advice on how to make this for an older child, with a head circumference of more like 20 inches? Thanks!
