Our family welcomed a new baby cousin recently and even though the mama was hoping for a boy, I didn’t want to use blue for her baby gift just in case. Of course, she did have a boy – over a week late, in a homebirth, and a whopping nine-pounder. Go Jenny!
I went with red. I’ve worked on knitting projects in-the-round for fingerless mittens and a pillow but had yet to try a hat (one of the most common in-the-round projects, I would assume). I knew the kind I wanted to make and was excited when I found this free Munchkin Hat Pattern.

Sorry for the fake baby, but we don’t have a newborn in the house right now. *sniff sniff* Are you on Ravelry? Check out my project details.
It was super-easy and fun to whip up, though I goofed a couple times because I was watching a movie at the same time – oops! Had to unravel it a bit and re-do in a couple places but it turned out nicely in the end. I’m hoping to adjust the pattern to make some bigger ones for the kiddos.


Hello, for some reason the email link is not working. I’d a like a copy of this pattern. Do you still have it available?
I would like a copy of the pattern to please!
