Lion Brand® Holiday Homespun®

GAUGE:

15 sts + 23 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) over St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd) with B. 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.

I made these hats for all the kids I know. I adjusted the pattern for infants and on up to 12 year olds. They were a hit! Everyone looked cute.
