I’ve received several requests to create a boy’s version of Garden Party hat, and pretty excited to offer you my very first pattern for boys.

Make the perfect boy’s gift when you stitch this superb hat! This versatile piece was designed specifically with boys in mind. Available in sizes X-Small/Baby, Small/Toddler, Medium/Child, Large/Woman, and X-Large/Man, the easy pattern consists of dc, FPdc and BPdc stitches, and is worked in the round with lace weight yarn (2 strands held together) or with one strand of DK weight yarn. Edge it in a contrasting color of your choice and add a quirky owl applique to make it truly one-of-a-kind! This FREE pattern is sure to bring a smile to the lucky wearer!

PS. Girls also allowed ;o)
