Notes

Isabel is 9 months old in the photos (11/13/21).

I worked this hat in the round instead of flat.

I ended the ear flaps with a WS row. I cast on one less stitch for the center back. I decreased to 64 sts for the stockinette portion of the hat.

I added a 2.5” pom-pom and a crochet flower from the Shell Stitch Beanie pattern. The flower measures 3.5” across.

For the chin strap and flower I used two 3/4” buttons from Hobby Lobby.

Total Cost: $1.17

  • White Yarn: $0.87
  • Pink Yarn: stash
  • Buttons: $0.30
