This a flexible pattern that is written for an adult Sm/Med but can be adapted easily for smaller or larger sizes. I used a neutral solid for mine but the sky is the limit for your color choices. Be bold, colorful, or natural. Use a smooth yarn or one with a halo. Use acrylic or a natural fiber. The hat can be eft as is or you can add tassels or pompoms. The pattern is truly meant to be a starting point for your own fun adventure.
