Tuttie Cutie Fruity Hats

These hats are way cute for a baby gift and they are super simple to make.

You can make Lemon, peach,apple, tomato, strawberry, pumpkin, eggplant (or grape) just depends on what color you like.

preemie use size 6 needles

Newborn-3 months size 8 needles


*size 3 needles for leaves

yarn i used was: plymouth yarn "Encore" knitting worsted weight 75% acrylic 25% wool

Cast on 54 stitches and work in stockinette stitch for about 4 inches. Begin decreasing for the crown as follows

K 7, k 2 tog

K 6, k 2 tog

K 5, k 2 tog

K 4, k 2 tog

K 3, k 2 tog

K 2, k 2 tog

K 1, k 2 tog

(this is where I switch to green)

Then keep in stockinette until the stem is as long as you like. I normally leave about 6 stitches on the needle so the stem doesn't look "pointy" then just cast off the 6 left on the needle.

How to make the Leaves:

On size 3 needles cast on 3 stitches and work 2 rows in garter stitch,

Continue in garter stitch increasing at each end of the next two rows (7 stitches).

Work 5 rows, then decrease 1 stitch at each end for the next 2 rows (3 stitches).

slip the next stitch to other needle, knit 2 together, and bind off.
