is it knitting for baby by melanie falick and kristin nicholas? i've made a hat matching that description from this book.
it's a very easy pattern. the original dimensions are 14" x 8-1/2". just knit every row to these dimensions. fold long-ways in half. sew up the sides and top. sew/tack the sewn corner to the folded corner. make and attach a pom-pom.
this fits up to 24 months.
the original yarn is brown sheep lamb's pride worsted on size 9 needles. gauge is 16 sts x 32 rows = 4", with a cast on of 56 stitches for the pattern.
but if you just check your gauge, you can use any yarn and needle you want. i used koigu on a tiny needle (don't remember the size).
