This is an oldie but a goodie, the Berry Baby Hat, by Michele Sabatier. It's one of my go-to patterns for babies because it's so quick and easy to knit, but cute and whimsical to boot. When I gift knitted this, I'd typically knit it in acrylic (I never know who might have what allergy and besides, being in Southern California, most mommies would not have appreciated much less known how to wash a wool hat) but this one is knit in some leftover Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. Ironically, from one of the first projects I knit for Bub--a Debbie Bliss baby sweater whose gauge I neglected to measure and tragically, ended up fitting me like a Riot girlie crop top (10 points to anyone who can name that reference). The hat, though, is adorable, and not newborn-sized, so I have hopes that a certain summer baby will be able to wear it in the fall, possibly on his first ski trip.
