I just finished making this hat, with a few changes.
1) I used Oklahoma City Green and San Diego Navy in a stripe pattern.
2) I knitted this in the round.
3) I used a stockinette stitch instead of garter stitch.
I made this hat in the largest size to fit my 18-month-old twin boys (their heads are a little on the large side and I'd like this to fit them through the winter).
It's a very cute hat, but the length of the hat is WAY off. The circumference is perfect as written. However, unless you want this hat to cover their entire head and face, down to their chin, then knitting to an 8 inch length before beginning decreases is way, way too long. After finishing the hat (without fully knotting off the last round), I tried it on both of my boys, and it was way too long on both of them. So, I ended up unraveling the decreases and then maybe another two or so inches of length total.
At that point, I didn't really feel like doing the decreases again (and the length looked right), so I just tied it off at that point. The decreases might've made it a little bit tidier, but there are so few decrease rows that I don't know that it makes much difference overall.
I was thinking that I'd like to make two, one for each boy, but I'm not sure the end result was all that exciting. The pompon is cute, but I haven't decided if I want to add it yet.
Lastly, this is a really, REALLY thick hat! Great for winter, but it makes a very stiff, very dense fabric.
