Antique Baby Hat Knitting Pattern
Updated by Jan of Unique Baby Gear Ideas
The antique baby hat knitting pattern on this page will put you on your way to creating an old-fashioned "hood" as it was called in the original instructions.
If anyone knows why vintage patterns refer to certain types of head coverings for babies as caps, some as hats and others as hoods, please send me a message and let me know.
This information would be especially helpful when, as is the case with this tutorial, there is no photo of the finished piece to use as a reference.
