Knitting baby hats - patterns for beginners and advanced knitters

Many of our knitting patterns for baby hats can be knitted with basic know-how. Simple stitches are often part of the patterns for knitting baby hats, which are marked as beginner projects by authors.

Follow all the individual steps exactly, which are also explained with pictures. You will also find information on suitable yarns and knitting needles in the knitting patterns for baby hats. In addition to the beginners' hats, Crazypatterns also offers models that are a little more demanding. For example, with fashionable patterns, elaborate motifs or additional details.

Plain caps

The easiest hats to knit are solid colours. Choose your favourite colour to knit a cute little hat. Maybe even match the gender or use neutral colours that suit boys and girls equally well. You can add to the simple baby hat knitting patterns by knitting mittens or baby socks in the same colour to make the perfect first set for babies born in the cold season.

Multi-coloured caps

You can knit multicoloured baby hats in a much more colourful and varied way. The knitting patterns for baby hats are very diverse and range from the rainbow look to hats with glitter yarn or other details. You can knit multicoloured hats with contrasting colours or choose yarns from a colour palette. When choosing a colour, consider the child's gender or your own taste.

Striped caps

Many baby hats are knitted in the typical striped look. Here you alternate between different colours to knit the fine or thick stripes. The stripe design goes perfectly with other knitting patterns for babies, for example for baby gloves or socks. As a set of 3, this is a great gift idea for birth or any other occasion.

Baby caps with motif

Fun animals, flowers or cars - a motif quickly makes a baby hat even more interesting. With our patterns for knitting baby hats you can choose your favourite motif and easily implement it. For example, how about a cute mouse face, a fire engine or colourful flowers on the hat? Your baby will certainly find these motifs exciting, especially if they are knitted in bright colours.

Pom-pom hats for babies

Whether large or small pom-poms, maybe even two or three pieces - knitting patterns for baby hats often include little details that make them look even cuter. A pom-pom can be firmly attached to the top or dangle loosely on strings in a set of 2. Permanently attached pom-poms are better for babies as the risk of tearing is minimised. You can make your own pom-poms in the colour and size of your choice. For example, from old wool scraps that you no longer have a use for. They can be a different colour to the hat or tone in tone.

Baby hat with name

Short names can also be easily placed on the baby hat with patterns for knitting baby hats. For longer names, the child's initials are often more suitable. Large and legible letters are best. One advantage of the name or initials is that the hat can be quickly assigned to the baby again at the nursery or when out and about. It does not get lost as often or is easier to find again.

Caps to tie

A good baby hat ideally also covers the ears. To prevent the hat from slipping in the pram or the baby throwing it out of the pram, a tie-up option is ideal. Choose knitting patterns for baby hats that are equipped with this detail. For example, to close with a button.

Funny pointed hats

Tapered hats look especially cute on babies, which is why Crazypatterns has lots of them as baby hat knitting tutorials. Choose one of these cute ideas to knit a fun pointed hat for baby. The length of the tip can vary. If the baby is still lying in the pram a lot because it cannot sit yet, these models are less suitable. For big babies who are already crawling or walking, however, pointed hats are ideal.

Baby hat with animal ears

Also very cute are caps with animal ears knitted on. You can choose the animal of your choice. For example, how about knitting patterns for baby hats with mouse ears, rabbit ears or bear ears?

Light and thick knitted hat

Depending on the season you want to wear it, use thick or thin knitting yarns. The patterns for knitting baby hats always give specific recommendations for materials. But of course you can vary the thickness of the yarn if you want the hat to be a bit airier. In winter, the baby will certainly need a thicker hat than on cold autumn and spring days.

Cap with earflaps

Cute ear flaps make a hat look much bigger and the ears are generously covered at the same time. Some models can also be tied under the chin so that nothing slips out of place.

Baby hat with patterns

Choose knitting patterns for baby hats with a simple or fancy pattern if you want to make them even more individual. There are many different patterns you can choose from. You can easily learn new techniques by watching one of our video tutorials. Or ask the community for advice if you don't know a technique for a particular pattern.

Practical scarf caps

An alternative to the scarf with cap is the so-called scarf cap. This hat is combined with a scarf, so you get two accessories in one. You should know the basic knitting principles so that you can succeed with these patterns for knitting baby hats.

Materials for knitting a baby hat

You don't need too many materials to knit baby hats and other baby accessories. A few knitting needles and yarns are all you need to get started. Depending on how many hats you want to knit, in which colours and for which season. For summer, the baby hat can be made very lightly with very thin knitting yarn, for warm winter hats you need correspondingly thicker yarn. As babies' skin is still very delicate and sensitive, you should only choose yarns that are kind to the skin and do not scratch.
