Polka Dot Hat Knitting Pattern

Knit up a cute and whimsical Polka Dot Hat for your baby or toddler with this easy knitting pattern! 

So the other day I was looking for a polka dot hat knitting pattern and I just couldn’t find a cute one. I don’t want a fancy complicated stitch, I don’t want polka dots that are sewn on, just a  simple hat with big polka dots. How can there not be  many options of this already?!

And as you know, when I can’t find a particular type of pattern…what do I do? That’s right, I invent it! (That should come as no shock to any of you…)

Well, don’t worry, friends. I’ve got you covered!  Cute Polka Dot Hat knitting pattern, check! This is a great intro to fair isle, if knitting with more than one color is new to you and it would make an adorable baby shower gift in any colors!
