Knit Sweet Seasonal Hats for Babies

by

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!

Knitting Pattern Review: Sabai Top by PaulaStrickt

Trending now — and for good reason!

Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.

It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.

PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.

The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.

This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
