This hat was made for an adult. I made up the pattern – cast on 80 stitches, then knit a row with 1 MC and 1 BC. Then k1 MC, P1 BC. I pulled the yarn in front for the BC purl, then pulled it back and knit 1 stitch with the MC. Then I knit a couple rows, increasing to 100 stitches. I used charts that I found online to make the design in the hat. Made a pompom and voila, a hat! It was about 17 inches in circumference and fit great. I loved making this hat. I used Cascade Venezia for the MC and Madeline Tosh DK for the BC. Really a nice squishy and warm hat.
