Need Baby Hat Pattern

I need to make a baby hat for a girl at work.....she is having a boy so the
frilly ones won't do. I have some worsted weight yarn and like the gauge
using us size 6 needles in the round. I have looked for free patterns but
most are for fingering weight yarn.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or patterns you can point me to.

Cast on for 16"-17", work in rib for 4" then switch to stockinette and
make fast decreases. Done.

Hi Donna

Managed to find two patterns in worsted weight and using dp needles.

http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/freeKn...SweaterSet.asp

http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns/ba...-baby-set.html

The third one is just so gorgeous I included it although it is worked
on just two needles. It would be good for a boy or a girl.

Ok I make those for charity and the body of the hat [ss] portion to decrease
comes out too long when using a worsted weight.

That's why I said FAST decreases! If you cast on 60 for the cap
(probably too many, but it's a round number for this example) decrease
via (k2togk8)6, next round (k2togk7)6, etc. The decreases move one
stitch to the left and prevent that spirally thing, decreasing more
often and on every round makes a nice short dome-shaped crown.

Oh ok cause the pattern I have been using you knit every other row.....which
for some reason works ok with the baby yarn. I have done swatches and the
sts across are good but I don't measure the stitches up so now I wonder if
my stitches are too long.
