Taking inspiration from the mission and guidelines of Wool-Aid, Warm Waffles Hat is designed to create a warm woolen hat for a child who lives in the coldest climate and has the least access to resources. The hat is worked with a waffle stitch pattern giving the knitter something interesting to do, but keeping the texture simple enough for either gender. This may be considered an advanced beginner or intermediate pattern because knowledge of stitch and hat construction are helpful. This hat takes just a few hours to knit, making the Warm Waffles Hat perfect for a charity such as Wool-Aid.
