Unfortunately for knitting purposes, baby Noah keeps growing! He has outgrown his first two knit hats already, and so about a month ago, I completed another hat for him — but unfortunately it already was a little too small for him by the time I completed it! Details follow the picture of Noah modeling the hat.
Noah's Striped Ribbed Hat
Pattern: 1×1 Rib Hat by Liz Kisknit
Yarn: 0.2 skeins of Classic Liberty Wool in Colors 7908 and 7809
Needles: Two US 6 circulars
Post-Blocking Measurements: 14 inch circumference and 4.5 inches tall (3 inches straight before shaping)
Modifications: I knit 3 inches straight before starting the decrease rows. To try to get the right length, I included one straight row in between every decrease row 4 times before just working every row as a decrease. I also switched between the yarns every two rows.
