Natale means Christmas in Italian and these colors just remind me of Christmas, with the cozy and happy atmosphere.
This hat is sized for the whole family: from newborns to adults. It is worked at a super bulky gauge; you can easily make one in a couple of hours or less. If you don’t have super bulky yarn in your stash, you can also use 2 strands of worsted weight yarn or 4 strands of fingering weight yarn.
Measurements are given in both centimeters and inches.
