row 4- purl
row 5-knit
row 6- purl

row 9-knit
row 10-purl
row 11- knit
row 12-knit
row 13-knit
row 14-purl
repeat rows 13 and 14 seven times
row 29-(K7,k2tog) to end of row
row 30-purl
row 31-(k6, k2tog) to end of row
row 32-purl
row 33-(k5, k2tog) to end of row
row 34-purl
row 35-(k4, k2tog) to end of row
row 36-(p3, p2tog) to end of row
row 37-(k2, k2tog) to end of row
row 38-(p1, p2tog) to end of row
row 39-(k2tog) to end of row
At this point cut your yarn, leaving about a 2 ½ to 3 foot tail. Thread the tail through a yarn needle and
thread through remaining stitches. Take off knitting needle and pull thread to cinch remaining stitches.
Then, fold your hat in half inside-out and sew up the edge with your choice of stitch. Tie off and weave
in ends.
Cut length of ribbon about 3 feet long and thread through the eyelets at the bottom of the hat. Tie a
bow in your preferred size and trim any excess. Remember to cut the ribbon at a diagonal to help
prevent unraveling. Place on the head of a newborn baby and take in the cuteness.

    1. Amy, I am sorry for the late reply. I knitted a new hat so I could get a gauge swatch. Using worsted weight yarn (Lion Wool-ease), the gauge is 5 st and 7 rows for 1 inch.
