He is now 3 months old and a whopping 15lbs. I have had to adjust many of my 'Newborn' hat patterns, and I have now added in a 1-3 months stage.


If you are looking for the NEWBORN size please visit my pattern on my site HERE 

The Puff stitch is quite stretchy so it allows for a lot of growth. As he grows I will be adding in the patterns for the next sizes.
