Waves: Worsted hat to match the Wave Catcher sweater! A striped hat, always unisex!

This project is perfect to destash (hello little skeins!), to make a rainbow sweater, gradient sweater, etc. Lots of possibilities.

Pattern’s instructions are for 1 MC and 1 CC. You are free to use as many CC as you wish!

Sizes
Newborn (Baby, Toddler, Child/Small Adult)

It is important to actually measure your child’s head and not only rely on the age labelling. Additionally, you might want to pick a size that is slightly smaller than actual head size (0.5-1’’ smaller is fine) for a perfect fit.
