The Kildare hat sports an all over textured and cozy rib stitch pattern - a perfect project to knit for everyone in the family.

The Kildare hat is part of a quartet of designs featuring Cascade Magnum (Ardmore, Marion, and Marlowe are the other three). With three skeins of Magnum you can make these 4 projects

The sample is shown here on my 5 ft tall 11 year old.
