The Sprout Beanie Knitting Pattern

DESIGNER'S NOTES

“Featuring a cuddly fold-up brim for extra warmth, The Sprout Beanie highlights two distinct rib textures that flow seamlessly together for a polished, stretchy fit. Specially sized for toddlers, it’s crafted in plush worsted-weight yarn and finished with crisp, symmetrical crown shaping that creates a clean, sculptural top. The result is a snug, classic little silhouette perfect for everyday toddler adventures.

The soothing repetition of the ribbing and the gentle pace of the decreases make it an easy, comforting project to reach for during naptime or quiet evenings. The project itself is quick and confidence-boosting—perfect for advanced-beginners ready for something slightly more polished, yet still delightfully manageable. Each section flows naturally into the next, letting you find a steady rhythm almost instantly.

Sweet and sentimental, The Sprout Beanie feels like a tiny treasure—one of those precious knits that becomes woven into childhood memories. With its soft texture, fold-up brim, and timeless shape, it’s the kind of little hat that gets photographed, passed down, and tucked lovingly into keepsake boxes long after it’s outgrown. A darling heirloom piece for the littles you adore.”
