I made this hat to accompany the scarf as a gift for a young girl in our family. It's easy to do the math to make it in a larger size if that's what you need.
This hat and scarf set will be a gift next Fall, but I make many gifts well in advance and put them in the "gift box" until needed. In fact, warmer months are a great time to make smaller items that aren't too warm to have on your lap while working.
Very best,
Lois

That's a lovely hat and I really like the button! Very nice. I can't knit, not with kneedles, it's too painful, but I do like using my loom. I have a knitting machine, but we don't speak to each other.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! I haven't knitted or crocheted in years! Your pictures remind me how much fun it is!
