This hat was designed to match a sweater I recently knit for my 5 yr old daughter using the leftovers. I made this cute heart chart for the bottom edge and cuffs of the sweater and knew immediately it had to be a hat as well. It features a double thick brim with interlocking ribbing and then a simple colorwork section followed by a simple stockinette body.
