Classic Ribbed Baby Beanie Knitting Pattern – 5 Sizes – Knit Flat

A simple, timeless baby beanie designed especially for knitters who prefer working on straight needles.

This classic ribbed baby hat features a neat K1, P1 ribbed band followed by a beautifully textured K4, P2 rib pattern, giving the finished hat plenty of stretch while creating lovely vertical detail. The shaped crown gives the beanie a smooth, rounded finish without the need for circular needles or double-pointed needles.

The hat is knitted flat in one piece and seamed at the back, making it an approachable project for newer knitters who are ready to practise ribbing and simple decreases.

The pattern includes five baby and toddler sizes:

0–3 months • 3–6 months • 6–12 months • 1–2 years • 2–4 years

The 3–6 month size has been fully knitted and tested, with the remaining sizes carefully graded from the tested construction.
