Node Hat Pattern
Looking for a sweet and simple knitting project? The Node Hat is perfect for newborns (about 36 cm head circumference) and makes an adorable, cozy accessory. You’ll only need about 25g of Angora 70 (or a similar yarn that matches gauge), plus 4.5 mm circular or DPN needles.
The best part? It’s a quick, satisfying knit with a cute little knot at the top—perfect for keeping your little one warm and stylish.

Pattern
Cast on 49 sts on 4.5 mm circular needles with your preferred cast-on method. I use long tail cast-on method.
Join your work in the round.
Transfer the last stitch on the lefthand side needle to the righthand side needle, pull the stitch on the right needle over the stitch on the left needle, return the stitch on the left needle and pull on the thread. This is your round beginning. Place marker at the beginning of the round.
There are now 48 sts on the needle.
