Reversible Two Sizes Baby Hat Knitting PatternDesigned by Susan Druding
Ever make a hat for a baby and find out it's too small? Or make a hat and see it outgrown in a month or two? This hat solves that problem - it's reversible. Flip one side for smallest heads (2-4 months) then reverse to other side for 5-8 months and up.

If the baby is handy, try on the hat to decide which end fits best. If you are able to use the smaller end to fit, using a tapestry needle and Circus color, sew the opposite, larger end, with a large eyed tapestry needle, into a 4-sided + top and tie with a firm bow so that when the baby grows larger you can reverse the ends of the hat. If you need to use the larger end (as I did) to fit, then you will sew the top with black yarn more firmly as you will not need to reverse the hat. Add a Pom-Pom made with both colors if you wish. I wound doubled yarn around 4 fingers 26 times, tied in the center and cut loops to make the one shown in the photo. Sew Pom-Pom on top. ©Susan Druding and used with her permission.
