Pattern: Cotton Bam Boo Baby Cable Hat by Andi Clark
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, 1 x 50g in colour: #010
Needles: 3mm Addi circs
Definitely the girliest baby knit so far! After seeing this pattern in the Classic Elite Yarns weekly newsletter, I thought it was adorable, but not one for a baby boy. So I queued it until I knew for certain one way or the other. And then when I did..!
The pattern is very simple and the hat only took a couple of evenings to knit, but I was held up by blocking and then needing to find matching ribbon. I think I could have just worked an i-cord instead, but then I think a girly hat needs a girly ribbon, doesn’t it?
Obviously Classic Elite Cotton Bam Boo is pretty impossible to find round these parts, but Baby Cashmerino is the same weight and it will make a nice snug autumn hat. It’s getting to be a favourite yarn of mine, though I’ve only used it three times, all for hats. I think I really need to buy a baby cardigan’s-worth, just to see if I still like it… 
The other knits are all dry now, so once I have buttons and zips, more FO posts will follow and I will look ultra-productive!

So so cute. This is going to the top of the queue. One of my school friends had a little girl last night

The ruffled brim is just too cute!!!
That is adorable and you’ve knitted it beautifully. Definitely on my to do list, I’ve downloaded the pattern already.
This is absolutely gorgeous! I particularly like the colour and the pattern!
That yarn is the best.
I love the Baby Cashmerino yarn – it’s so soft and comes in a gorgeous range of not typical baby colours. The hat looks gorgeous!
It’s so, so, so cute!! This wee one is going to be so well dressed, all the other babies are going to be jealous!
