intarsia newborn /infant hat

cute newborn hat :) great for a girl or boy if u change colors !

so i wanted to practice my color changing skills but to keep it simple so i dident over confuse myself so i stuck to two primary colors and used them to experiment and this is what i come up with :)

5.00 mm needles (straight)
dk wool in 2 diffrent colors i used pink and green by stylecraft
darning needle

co 51 stitches 

work pattern as follows for 1 inch of ribbing.

 in garter stitch.

 row 1 ; mc , cc, mc , cc across row alternating colors for each stitch
row 2 - 3 knit all stitches in your mc
row  4-  repeat row 1
row 5-6- repeat row 2 - 3

 repeat until neccessary till you get an inch of ribbing.

main color block.

 you will do this block with the color you ended with , so if ur last stitch was green you would use green wool if your last stitch was pink you would use pink etc.

1. work four rows in stockinette stitch .


top of hat .

1. do four rows in stockinette stitch in cc
2. carry on in stockinette with cc until desired length
3. then do two rows of the pattern called for in row 1 of the ribbing. with 2 blocks of main color in between each row , so do 1 row of the pattern then 2 rows of main color , then another row of the pattern etc.

 finishing.

darn in all loose ends.
sew up side seam and top of hat
turn right side out
and add a pom pom :)
