You guys I’ve been wanting to make an easy heart shape baby hat knitting pattern forever! I couldn’t quite figure out how to make it look good (and be easy).  I seriously made so many swatches for this one. And if you knit, you know swatches are so boring. I’m pretty sure it’s my least favorite part of this craft. Ugh. I feel about swatching how I feel about cutting fabric for quilting. Boo. But I did it! For you! 

A child wearing a pink sweetheart hat with a braided pattern is seen from the side. They have on a white long-sleeve shirt adorned with red and green floral designs. The background is plain white.

Anyway, luckily, this year for Valentine’s Day I’ve cracked the code and whipped up the Valentine Sweetheart Hat knitting pattern! 

A child wearing a sweetheart hat with a textured pattern sits facing down. They are dressed in a white shirt with colorful floral prints.

This cute Valentine’s Day baby pattern is knit with easy faux cable stitches (meaning you DO NOT need to know how to knit cables nor do you need a cable needle or any other special equipment.)

I just love how it turned out, what could be cuter than a ring of textured hearts around the brim of a cute knit baby hat?! (Spoiler alert: the thing that’s cuter is the next pic…)

Please note, this hat looks best if not stretched to the max so if in doubt, size up!
