Lucy is a classic, simple to knit hat with a relaxed, slouchy fit. It’s worked seamlessly from the bottom-up on double pointed needles, then topped with a pompom. Pattern includes schematic with measurements of finished hat.

Designed to fit 18” (46cm) dolls with a head circumference of approx. 12 1/4” (31cm), such as American Girl, Australian Girl, Gotz, Maplelea Girl and similar dolls. In addition, according to the Craft Yarn Council’s standard head sizes page, preemie babies have the same head size as an American Girl doll, so you could use this (and other AG doll patterns) for that purpose.

The difficulty level of this pattern is: Easy - requires a knowledge of (or willingness to learn) basic knitting skills, increasing, decreasing, and working in the round on DPNs.
