A baby hat takes an hour or two and a single small ball of yarn, which makes it the ideal project for using up leftovers and for building a shower gift alongside a blanket.
Sizing is the part worth getting right. As a rough guide, a preemie is around 10 to 12 inches of head circumference, a newborn 13 to 14, three to six months 15 to 17, and a toddler 18 to 20. Choose a soft, washable yarn with no scratchy fibres. See also baby blankets and booties.
