Knit Sweet Seasonal Hats for Babies

knit hats for babies

Sandy is the winner!

The Leisure Arts book Knit Hats for Babies by Lee Ann Garrett is adorable any time of year, but it’s especially appropriate going into fall and winter, both because little ones need hats this time of year and because many of the hats are related to this season, as you can see from the cover.

In addition to the Santa, football and skull hats, you’ll find patterns for hats that look like baseballs and basketballs, a witch hat, a square hat with heart tassels, an Easter stocking cap and a St. Patrick’s Day hat with a shamrock topper.

The patterns are all rated intermediate, but if you’re comfortable with knitting in the round and doing shaping in projects you’ll have no problem with these.

If you’d like a chance to win this book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, Sept. 17. I’d love to know if there’s a special little one in your life you’d stitch these up for. (My little one just turned eight last week!)

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

  1. I never OMG, but OMeverlovin’G! I was going to pass this by (my posse is not a very reproductive crowd of folks), but they are just too cute! Now I’m going to start trolling Lamaze classes and taking names!

  2. I have a new grandbaby due on Oct. 16. His big brother is football and baseball crazy. I am sure he would be impressed if his baby brother had a football hat!

  3. OMG…I want to knit all the hats! One day there will be a
    special little one in my life, For now, presents.

  4. These hats are so cute and would make wonderful presents for a lot of my friends who have grandchildren already.

  8. I have 2 little grandsons – almost 3 and almost 1 year old. Their mom loves to have a variety of hats to choose from – and these would suit almost any occasion!

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
