Butterfly Hat

Recently, I discovered the Butterfly Hat pattern. Isn't the texture of the hat so much fun? It looks kind of lumpy and bumpy when not worn, but I'm kind of a fan of textures. Will definitely try it out on some other yarns.

If you want to make a hat for a preemie or newborn, I would recommend casting on 40 stitches for preemie, and 50 or 60 stitches for newborns if you're using worsted weight yarn. Since the pattern is based on repeats of 10, you'll just have less repeats than the original pattern has.

I used a sport weight yarn (Meadow) for mine, cast-on was 80 stitches.

A tip: make sure there is some slack in the working yarn after slipping the 5 stitches. Later on in rows above, you will be picking up these strands of yarn. You will have to experiment to get the right tension.

Let me know if you have any questions about the pattern! Post questions in the comment section, or you can e-mail NettersKnitters@gmail.com
