Our take

A baby hat in the round with an I-cord top — more construction than a washcloth, without a skill badge we would have to guess.

Purl Soho does not stamp this Beginner or Easy in the inventory we checked, so the skill field stays empty.

In-the-round stockinette and an I-cord top are the project. The free pattern is their article.

  1. 01

    Construction

    In the round, with I-cord

    Not a flat rectangle. Open Purl Soho for needle type and the I-cord method.

    We do not call this Beginner. Read the article before you treat it as a first hat.

Before you start

Three checks worth making now

  1. 01

    Baby hats are sized. Use Purl Soho’s measurements.

  2. 02

    I-cord needs a small needle or extra double-points as they specify.

  3. 03

    Category image only; their photos stay on their site.
