Hats shown with blooms, but easily customizable with more or less blooms, or no bloom if knitting
for a baby boy. Worked quickly with US 10.5 needles, this pattern is great for charity knitting too!
Picture examples shown here are knit with worsted weight yarn, but feel free to experiment with
other yarn weights or luxury yarns for gift giving. Pattern includes instructions for hat, large bloom
and small bloom, and includes directions for both knitting in the round and for knitting flat.

I'm just a chatty girl who likes to
knit. But more specifically...I am
a self taught knitter with a
background in art. I especially love knitting
things for children, whether children I know or
children in need. I am passionate about
knitting for charity and participate in annual
knitting projects each year for local homeless
kids in my area, NICU and preemie babies at
the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center and
shawls for local hospice patients. Thanks for
