Craft Scan Friday: Dopey Baby Hat

Um, that’s a “dopey” hat for baby… We don’t know if your baby has to be dopey to wear it or not. We’d bet that any baby wearing said knitted hat will appear slightly dopey — but in that charming way babies can get away with. Anyway, enjoy the free knitting pattern.

Pattern from 1969 Bernat Handicrafter Learn To Knit Book #127.
