I created this pattern to make newborn hats to donate to my local Pregnancy Resource Center. They give out hand-knit hats, but so many of them are donated by old ladies who use boring colors, I thought it would be nice to do some that weren't pastel. They're fun to make because they're really quick and simple to knit, and you can amass a bunch of them in no time at all and feel very accomplished. They'd be a good baby shower gift, etc. I don't have step-by-step photos, but here is the pattern:

Oh, I forgot to say I was gonna use a circular needle though instead of the 4dp. The dp's overwhelm me for some reason. lol
