Not an overly complicated pattern, but I found myself dreading completing this project because of all the weaving in and sewing. Also the ear and antler placement really must be marked while the hat is being worn and was pretty fiddly.

Overall I’m happy with how they turned out for our Christmas pictures, but I was more happy just to be done making them. Too tedious for me.

Toddler-Sized Hat (started & finished 11/21/18)
• Used US size 11 circulars and DPNS

Small Adult Hat: (started & finished 11/16/18)
• Cast on 52 St using cable cast on.
• Only used size 11 circulars and DPNS because I don’t have any circulars in US 10.5.
