Here’s to not being that knitter this year who’s children do not have the proper accessories for the winter season. Instead I can be that knitter that makes the kid pose in a wool hat outside in the summer. By the time winter rolls around my son will hopefully still like this hat. I really liked this yarn, SweetGeorgia Superwash Chunky, and am sad that it is discontinued. I’ll be hunting a few Ravelry destashes for more. This is the Wylam pattern from Katya Frankel’s Head to Toe book. I made the 17″ size, and this hat has a good bit of stretch to it thanks to the ribbing. I could fit it on my head – it doesn’t stay too long, given my mane of hair, but it fits. I will make this again, as my daughter liked this pattern as well.
Oh my! What a cute hat and handsome model!
