Ohhhhh, I love this hat. I paid about 30 bucks for the last one I have. IT's a bit more like newsboy hat, but still similar.
Okay I've just wrote out your pattern by hand (then I know what I am doing). I'll let you know how it goes.
I just made this in mixed colors I gotta get a photo of it and shoot it over to you! Can you believe I finally have the time to knit! hahaah
I hope that you and the boy are well!
I love your knitted caps with the brims! I can't say that I've seen these anywhere else. Also, you have a good mix of colors and color combos. Good work! -Dana
P.S. Thanks for the comment on my blog!
A little off topic, but can you tell me how wide the aran shawl was when it was finished? I'm thinking about making it. Thanks!
What a cute hat! Which needle should give the prescribed gauge of 10cm for 22 stitches? The 3.25 or 4 mm? Thanks!!

Hey, any suggestions on what stitch to use to sew the brim seams together?
Hi- what yarn do yo recommend ? I see the gauge, but is that the gauge on the larger or smaller needles?
Thanks
