Lavish Fur Hat
Lion Brand® Homespun® - Fun Fur®
GAUGE: 8 sts + 14 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row) with 1 strand each of A and B held tog. 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.

| Lavish Fur Hat Reviewed by Christine Johnson on 2011-02-15 |

| I am sad about how this hat turned out. It was so tight it took me 5 minutes to get it on my head. It felt terrible. I had to split the back open so it would fit over my head. The ear flaps are in the back of my head rather than being over the ears. Yes, I checked the gauge. Yes, I measured meticulously and even tore it out a couple times to start over. I was making it a project for a co-worker who is very kind to me. Now, she'll think she is my enemy.
