The Elliott Bobble Hat has been adapted for a series of smaller head sizes meaning you and your little ones can now match in style! Just like its adult counterpart, the Elliott Bobble Hat: Children’s Edition is knit in the round on 10mm double pointed needles. It has a wide ribbed brim and a relaxed slouchy top. Available to knit for 3 different head sizes.
