This cozy and cute basketweave hat knitting pattern is just right to keep your little one warm this fall and winter! Make one for your newborn, baby or toddler!
There just something about this basketweave hat knitting pattern that looks so cozy to me. It’s got such a great texture and knit up so beautifully in this pretty deep pink hand-dyed yarn. I think this would be a great hat to give as a gift. It’s the kind of hat that everyone would like.
I once made a basketweave baby blanket and that was super cozy too. If that’s something you guys would like a pattern for, you’ll have to let me know.
I also love a pattern like this basketweave hat that looks complicated but is actually really easy to knit. You get all the props of knitting a “cool” hat but you can sit back secretly know it was so easy! Easy, but not boring. That’s what I aim for around here most days!

I love that basket weave hat pattern. I can’t wait to try it. Have to finish a blanket first but I’m excited to make one.
