Cuddly Bear Hat

This charming baby bear hat pattern is a simple and quick knit, perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike. Designed to fit babies aged 0–3 months, the beanie features an adorable bear face and playful pom-pom ears for a sweet and cozy finish. The hat is knit in the round from the bottom up using double-pointed needles (DPNs), but it can also be worked on a long circular needle using the Magic Loop method. The bear’s facial features are created with two techniques:

• The eyes and the black section of the muzzle are added using the duplicate stitch method.

• The white portion of the muzzle is incorporated during knitting using the intarsia technique.

MATERIALS: beige/ black/ white premium acrylic DK yarn 100 g/ 300 m. I used approximately 19 g of the main yarn and handful from all the rest

Knitting Gauge: 12 sts and 17 rows to 5 x 5 cm = 2” x 2” in stocking stitch (knit row on right side, purl row on wrong side) and 4 mm needles.
