My "POPCORN" hats are worked flat in stocking stitch and use the BIG POPCORN technique (you can see at the end of the pattern a step-by-step photo tutorial) to add a lot of texture and extra cuteness 😊 Of course, if you need a very quick and easy pattern to make baby hats with bulky yarn, you can skip the popcorns and knit them in a regular stocking stitch.

Language: ENGLISH.

>Skill level: suitable for beginner knitters who know how to make k2tog and ssk decreases (advanced beginners / easy) and have some patience to make the popcorns
