MOSS STITCH BABY HAT

Time for some knitting love!

The moss stitch baby hat captures the all natural beauty of  Peruvian wool in its finest! A simple stitch repeating pattern creates a lovely texture, while the gorgeous Petite Wool from We Are Knitters adds all the snuggliness and warmth!

The hat is really easy to make if you want to make your own and I highly recommend this pattern for beginners in knitting as well!
