Note
While you are working on this hat, it may appear to be very tiny. This is due to the nature of the stitch pattern that is being used. The 4×4 ribbing is very stretchy, and looks somewhat deceiving as far as size. Don’t worry—it will stretch to fit.
This pattern is available as an ad-free PRINTABLE PDF pattern that includes 6 sizes from newborn to large adult.
