Knitted Toddler Hat and Scarf in English Rib Knit
Here is a Toddler Hat and Scarf I made for my 4 year old nephew! I designed it using English Rib Stitch, my current fave stitch! It’s a gloriously quick knit that has a polished look without the extra fuss. The stitch gave a wonderful drape, a cozy squishy feel, and is reversible! Note: This pattern is a yarn eater! I used what may have been an almost full skein+ of Red Heart Super Saver in the standard sized skein.
