Cute hat!
Dec.10, 2014:
This came out a wee bit smaller than I would have liked, so if I make it again I will go up needle size to a 10.5. I knitted it to 6” before decreases instead of the 5 1/2”, and it still seems a little small…could be a little longer, but fits Austin (9yr. old) really well. I wanted it to cover his ears, and it does. The Lion Wool-Ease yarn is really soft. I am a bit impressed with it, since it is an acrylic/wool blend. My fingertips don’t like the acrylic though because they are cracking. =( I just need to finish one ear, the antlers and the ear linings, then sew them onto the hat.
