TESTIMONIAL

“As soon as this came off the needles, I of course had to try it on! It fit perfectly. I showed my husband, who tried it on as well; he thought it was the best-fitting hat that he’s worn (very high praise!) It fit my 13-year-old daughter as more of a slouchy beanie. All three of us absolutely loved it (and now I will have to make more, lol!!)
Overall, you’ve done an amazing job with this pattern. Thank you so much again for the opportunity to knit this with you and provide my feedback! I’m hoping to do another test knit in the future, so I’ll be sure to keep my eyes out for your patterns :D
I hope you have a wonderful day, and GREAT JOB on an incredible pattern!! <3”
