Mommy and Me Outfits
If you like to wear matching mommy and me clothes, then these hats will make an awesome addition to your wardrobe.
They are unisex, so can be worn by anyone and made in a variety of colours.
Not only for the mother daughter outfits, but they can also easily be worn by the boys in the family too.
Seed Stitch
If you have never knit in seed stitch before you can take a look at this seed stitch video tutorial.
By creating alternate stitches of knit and purl, the textured pattern of seed stitch is created.
The brim of the adult beanie is knit in 2×2 ribbing and the baby beanie has 1×1 ribbing, if you want to see how that is created, please check out this 2×2 ribbing video tutorial.

What yarn should I use to knit a hat?
For this seed stitch beanie, I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick in Grey Marble (grey) and in Fisherman (white).
This is a super bulky yarn (06) and knits up really fast on size 9,, (US 13) knitting needles.
Any colour combination will look great and there are many colours to choose from in that particular yarn collection.
