It took me a while to get on board with knitting stocking caps. Honestly, they just take longer. And I bet bored easily. Ha! But Baby V loves to wear them and according to my emails and comments, you all LOVE to knit them! So I’m changing my mindset and getting on board.
I also finally realized, there’s just a lot more design real estate on a stocking cap, I can do more things! The first fave stocking cap was my Halloween stocking cap which has all kinds of cute Halloween icons on it from pumpkins to candy corns to spiders. Then I knit a Christmas stocking cap with trees and holly and candy cane stripes. And now I’m addicted and couldn’t stop and wanted to find out how many hearts I could possible cram on to a Valentine’s Day stocking cap.
The answer is…a lot! Yay! This cute Valentine’s Day baby stocking cap knitting pattern is covered in alternating pattern of light pink lines and hot pink hearts that start big and get smaller and smaller (and cuter and cuter) as you go up. The hat ends, of course, with a fluffy pink pom pom. Because what’s a stocking cap without a pom pom, right?
Of course, you can knit this in any color combination that you like. You can even mix up the colors or change the colors of the hearts in each level, this is a good one to totally customize to your preferences.
I also added a folded brim to this one because Baby V says they’re really really cozy. And you’ve got to give your clients what they want, right? She’s the boss!
