How to Knit an INFANT HAT (with a tie string)

//ABOUT THIS VIDEO//
In this video we will knit a baby hat that can be tied in the front. It is quite simple to make with straight needles.

For this hat, we are using the simple knitting and the stockinette pattern. The knitting part is used for the border that would go around the face while the stockinette pattern is used for the body of the hat. The video shows the knitting for a 3-6 month old baby.
