Heart Easy Shells Baby Hat
"The Heart Easy Shells Hat is designed to complement Heart Easy Shells Baby Blanket. It uses the same stitch in the round. The blanket and the hat together make a lovely combination for newborn baby (yours or someone else's). The pattern is designed to use a DK #3 weight yarn for a newborn hat that measures 10.5" around (stretch to 12.5"). For a slightly larger hat, you can use a heavier weight yarn and/or a larger size hook."
