Child's hat pattern
Many years ago I had a pattern for a child's hat. It was a balaclava
style pattern with what we, my daughters and I, called pussy cat ears. I think it called for double knitting or sport weight yarn. Now my daughter would like me to make one for her daughter. I can't find my pattern and the yarn shop I go to doesn't have a copy and thinks that the book may be out of print. They have a similar pattern, but it calls for chunky yarn and I think that is way too bulky for a 15 month old. Does anyone have this pattern. I will be eternally grateful if I can locate a copy.

make a swatch with your yarn, then do the math to convert from the
patterns' gauge to your gauge. On 30 Jun 2004 12:54:05 -0700, (M. Burwell) wrote: Many years ago I had a pattern for a child's hat.

Marg Hi Marg I have found an old Beehive pattern book in my collection, with a "Pussy Cat" in sizes 2,4,& 6. It is a balaclava style with little ears, and calls for Patons Canadiana Superwash wool or Patons Canadian Sayelle. Two 4.5 mm or #7 needles. The gauge is 20 sts and 25 rows in stocking stitch. This sounds more like a light worsted weight to me. You could try it with DK or Sport and smaller needles and the size 2 might fit. I'm going to e-mail you privately to see about the pattern Shelagh |
