Turn your baby into a gorgeous little flower fairy for a photo shoot. This oh-so-sweet hat is generously sized to fit a range of babies from 0-3 months.

Materials: Approximately 75g of double knit (8 ply) wool in main colour and 25g of double knit (8 ply) wool in contrast colour.

Tools: 3.00mm hook and a wool needle for finishing

Gauge: 9 trebles and 5 rows = 5cm/2”. Hook size or yarn thickness can be changed to achieve gauge if necessary - stitches need to be quite tight to achieve curling petals.
