Can anyone recommend a pattern for a baby hat- about 9 months to a year old.
TIA

I've never make a sewn hat for a baby but there are hundreds of knitted baby hats over on Ravelry.

Thanks @BrendaP
I found a free knitting pattern for baby hat and I also found a free SIRDAR baby cardigan pattern!  0_0

Lots - I inherited my mother's folder of patterns when she gave up knitting.  Let me know if you're interested in that kind of thing and I can send you a scan.

@HenriettaMaria
Thank you for your kind offer, but I think I'm sorted out now and have just ordered some wool.
When I'm looking for other ideas, then I'll get back in touch.

Here's the Baby Hat finally finished (my first time "knitting in the round" and using 3 needles).
I think its too big for a baby, but maybe will fit the little girl its intended for when she's a toddler. 0_0  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

That's an interesting embellishment with the woven threads.  Is it part of the knitting or are the threads woven in afterwards?

Very pretty, I like the colours.

@Ploshkin it's part if the pattern and is described as a butterfly effect.  You bring the  yarn to the front of the work, slip 5 stitches on to the next needle then carry on knitting; on the next row you pick up the threads which creates a no x of loop effect. 
I  can post the pattern link if you are interested.

@Ploshkin   Here's the link - the pattern is free on ravelry.com:

(Unfortunately, my version has a few errors, but I would knit it again as I realise now where I went wrong :()

Many thanks - I don't like changing colours when I'm knitting but I do like knitting cables and interesting textures.

I used Sirdar Snuggly Crofter Baby Fair Isle effect DK to knit the hat.
