NOTES
- Directions are for size Toddler/ Child; changes for sizes Adult Small, Adult Average, Adult Large are in parentheses. When only one number is given then that number applies to all sizes.
- The adult average size will fit most adults, especially since the project has a generous stretch. If concerned about size, measure one of your favorite hats first and choose a size based on that.
- Project is made from the bottom brim to crown.
- When working on the body, place a marker every 10 stitches for the repeat.
- Slip all stitches as if to purl with yarn in back.
- When slipping stitches be sure to not pull the float too tight or the gauge will get too small.
- Do not cut colors, carry the color up the inside of the project.
- If you want to be sure you have a safety net as you knit, adding a lifeline to your project every so often will be helpful. Just to make sure you have a point to rip back to if something goes wrong. (video help).
