Has a lot of options. Baby hats are so tiny that you could try out like 4 or 5 patterns in a day and then just make more of the one you liked best.

I *love* the umbilical knot hat in S'n'B. It's so cute and knits up sooo fast.

I've been workin on some charity knitting for a local hospital (how ELSE am I gonna get to knit tiny things?!? ) and these are a few of my favorites:

Ditto!!
I made 12 of these and took them to the NICU where my daughter died...I just altered the pattern so they were smaller...

Very easy!!!

Pilot style caps are a bit harder to knit but I love them for babies because they tie and don't slide off in the carseat or anything. The Stich n Bitch hat is also really nice and easy.

there is a lovely simple hat in Baby Knits for Beginners by Debbie Bliss, also.
