Today's pattern is probably a little more on the complex side, and would suit an advanced beginner. If you need help with this stitch, jump on google, there are a few videos for it. Once you've done it a few times though, it really is super simple. The side puff makes a lovely texture and really adds some pop to this hat! This one will fit a brand new baby at 40 weeks gestation.
