This adorable Peekaboo Panda Hat knitting pattern has a cute panda peeking out over the cozy folded brim!
Pandas are my all-time favorite animal. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. I had a panda wallpaper border in my bedroom as a kid and I loved it. They were playing with circus balls and they were just so cute.
So of course, after I designed the Peekaboo Bear Hat knitting pattern, I definitely needed to design a Peekaboo Panda Hat knitting pattern. And it is just as adorable as I anticipated!
I put my cute panda on a background of kelly green, inspired by my current favorite work sketchbook. I love the contrast, but this would be adorable on any color hat!
This cute panda hat knitting pattern is knit in the round with worsted weight yarn on circular knitting needles. You will need either double pointed knitting needles in the same size or to use the magic loop method to finish the decrease section of the hat.
You will also need a yarn needle and some black and white worsted weight yarn to add the panda motif with duplicate stitch to the front of the hat.
If you are not new to duplicate stitch, then this should be easy for you. And if you are new to duplicate stitch, welcome! Check out my duplicate stitch knitting tutorial, I’ll show you how to do it step by step.
Duplicate stitch is kind of like a cross between embroidery and knitting and it a great way to add details to a knitting project after it is completed. This cute panda is no exception and it really is a good knitting project to practice on since it only used two colors!
And if you are also a panda lover, let’s be besties and knit this together. Are you ready?
