Hi everyone! One of my favorite things to do while browsing the internet, is finding ways of converting certain patterns to fit into a hat, shawl, cowl or any other project of mine. Once a pattern is chosen, it goes into a long process of trial and error. Sometimes, even after days of experimenting, nothing satisfactory comes out of it, and I frog the whole thing and move on to another pattern. In this hat though, I watched a video of this pattern that was worked back and forth, which I thought made it look somewhat difficult to knit. And that’s when an idea came to my mind that this pattern would be much easier if worked in rounds, and thus this hat was born. It looks very nice and is really fun to make! It can be made in two sizes; for the little ones to wear in the upcoming breezy spring days, and for adults it can look very elegant and warm. Hope you enjoy knitting it!
