Valley Yarns Chalbi Knitting Pattern

Valley Yarns Chalbi is a stunning gender-neutral hat that is a quick knit and fun for your baby or toddler to wear. The caps are knit in Valley Superwash Bulky, and the kids can choose a lovely rabbit or a sly fox as there are two options for different lengths for the ears. Chalbi is knit in the round seamlessly from the ribbed brim to the crown. The ears are worked from stitches picked up at the top of the crown. Valley Yarns Valley Superwash Bulky combines extra fine Merino softness, machine-washable ease, and incredible warmth into a yarn that you won’t want to live without in your stash! The ears are charted and written out.
