Baby/child’s hat knit in the round. Pattern calls for a 16” circular and set of DPs, but you could also use two circulars or Magic Loop. Earflaps are knit first, and then joined to hat. Earflaps can also be omitted.
Yardage estimate does not factor in small amounts of two contrasting colors needed for stranded color-work.

What mom-to-be wouldn’t love to receive this charming hat at her baby shower? Paired with an Eyelet Baby Blanket, it makes an extra-special baby gift.
