The Lil' Gnome Hat on Gigi, a 15" Bamboletta doll
Lil’ Gnome Hat
size: made to fit 15” Bamboletta dolls (head circumference
of approx.13 inches)
gauge: 4.5 stitches per inch in stockinette
yarn: 1-2 ounces of worsted weight yarn (I used Mountain
Meadow worsted)
1 ounce of yarn
in a contrasting color (for the tassel and crocheted edge)
materials:
one 12” circular needle in size US8 (or size to achieve
gauge)
one set of DPNs or a 32” circular in same size as your gauge
needle
a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and attaching the
tassel
one size H crochet hook (for decorative crocheted edge)
abbreviations: K (knit), K2T (knit two together)
Let’s get started!
Cast on 55 stitches.
Join in the round and knit the brim (garter stitch for six
rows, ending on a purl row).
Knit in stockinette for an additional 9 rows.
Begin decrease rounds (switching to your DPNs or magic loop
when necessary):
Round 1: K9,
K2T*
Round 2-3: K
Round 4: K8,
K2T*
Round 5-6: K
Round 7: K7,

Round 8-9: K
Round 10: K6,

* repeat around
After round 28 cut the yarn, leaving a 10-12” tail. Using your tapestry needle, thread the
tail yarn through the remaining stitches on the needle and pull tight. Feed the needle through the center of
the circle at the top of the hat and weave in the ends.
Adding a crocheted edge: Using a size H crochet hook, single crochet around the edge
of your Lil’ Gnome Hat.
