You’re My Butterfly Hat is perfect for kids who love butterflies & hearts.

Size:
To fit a toddlers head of 51 - 53cm/20 - 21 inches circumference.

Yarn:
2 colours of 8 ply/DK/light, 50gm balls of merino wool. I often use Debbie Bliss Rialto DK, Broadway Merino DK or Bellisimo DK super fine merino wool. Length of yarn is usually between 103 - 125 metres/112 - 137 yards per ball.
I have knitted this hat using yarn of 22 sts & 28 rows = 10cm/4 inches guage. The hat turns out a tiny bit smaller than measurements.

Suggested Needles:
3.25mm/US 3 DPNs,
OR 3.25mm/US 3 circular needle for casting on & knitting rib.
4mm/US 6 circular needle for hat body.
4mm/US 6 DPNs for shaping the crown.

Techniques:
Knitting in the round, knit & purl stitches, decreasing, catching floats, weaving. The pattern is designed to be jogless.

Notions:
Stitch marker, tapestry needle.
