Many thanks to Ms. April for working out this pattern in this gauge and for offering it free.

Made this hat for a friend who is going thru chemotherapy.

This is a very easy and quick project.
The directions are very clear, including how to make a hdc. Very good pictures, too.

This yarn is supposedly hand wash / flat dry.
Machine wash gentle / tumble dry gentle works out just fine.

The seam blends in perfectly and is impossible to see.

Omitted pompom.
