Kid's Helmet Hat

Lion Brand® Jiffy®

GAUGE:

8 sts + 10 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in Stockinette stitch (k on RS, p on WS) with 2 strands Jiffy held together. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Hat is worked with 2 strands of yarn held together throughout.

Kid's Helmet Hat Reviewed by Lorraine Gardner on 2009-10-29 ****
Like everyone else the hat was way too small. I made both sizes and I don't think either will fit my 2yr.old grandaughter. I agree with the lady adding the braided ties. I'm not sure if I can figure out how to make it bigger. It is a great easy pattern and I thank Lion Brand for this site!
