Notes:

• I’ve included a photo tutorial for some parts of the pattern at the end. If you don’t need it, just print out pages 1-3. Save ink, paper, and the planet!
• I would call this an advanced beginner/ intermediate project. if you are comfortable with the stitches listed above, I think you can follow this pattern even as a beginner. The photo section should clear up any confusion about where to put the stitches.
• I have made this with every variety of chunky weight yarn (size 5) i have also made this hat in a variety of yarns held together to equal about that weight. This pattern is pretty flexible and i tell you how to make some modifications for sizing if your yarn isn’t QUITE at gauge.
• This pattern has modifications for 2 different styles of hat band as pictured. A plain ribbed band and a fold up ribbed band.
• As written this is sized to fit most adults but I have included modifications for making this hat in an adult M/L and a child size as well.
