The mommy and me hats are an excellent project for anyone who is learning how to knit in the round.
Using knit and purl stitches, these hats will also introduce you to decreasing and shaping.
They will also keep your loved ones stylish and cosy in the colder weather.
Make Your Own Matching Mommy And Me Hats
Make these matching mommy and me knitted hats in any colour combination you like!
I chose pink and grey because I had just bought some soft Kartopu yarn in those colours and thought it would be perfect for the hats.
You can knit in all one colour or try out using different colours, going for neutrals, brights or a combination of both.
Made in a traditional mariner’s style, these hats have an added pom pom, which can be added or not depending on your personal preference.
The Yarn I Used…
I made the hat using Kartopu Melange Wool in grey and pink and knit on size 6 mm (US 10) 16″ circular needles.
This yarn can be substituted with any medium yarn, including worsted or aran.
You will need approx 2 skeins (100g each) to make the hats.

Please note – you may have to change your needles for the decreases of the hat if working on the circulars becomes too tight.
