Satin Doll - Baby Hat in Sateen

Sateen  is a soft, silky acrylic that has the look and feel of bamboo. Available in 36 solids and 8 multis, there is a virtual rainbow of colors to choose from. Each 100 gram skein contains a generous 300 yards and it works up beautifully in sport gauge. While swatching with Sateen, it became quite evident that a simple hat in a variety of sizes was a must. This would work beautifully for a baby hat as well as a chemo hat. The softness of the yarn would feel lovely against even very sensitive skin. It would be easy to get 2-3 hats out of 1 skein.  The 14" size only used 1/3 of my skein. Materials:  - 1 skein Sateen (100% Acrylic, 300 yds/100 g) - shown in 413 (Baby Mix) - US 4 - 16" Circular needles (for the smallest size you will only use the DPNs) - US 4 - DPNs - Stitch Marker - Yarn Needle Abbreviations: - K - Knit - P - Purl - K2tog - Knit 2 Together Gauge: 6.5 sts = 1" Shown in 14" size - Length ~ 6.5" from cast on edge
