I used 7 strands of yarn and weaved them in and out every 2 stitches
in row 12 (13 for the bigger kid size). Make sure you leave a little slack so the hat can
stretch over the childs head.

I love this hat, it is very cute for any age! Would love a 0-3 month pattern!
I love this pattern! How many balls of yarn did you use for the white part? I would love to make one of these for each of my nieces for Christmas. Thanks!!
It took less than two balls of white yarn.
Printing out another pattern. I am particpating in a give away through fb ~ I have decided to do this Red Heart’s with Love Boysenberry with a pink trim and flower adornment. As always I will credit you as the designer; I may ad a few extra rounds so it will be more suited to colder weather ~ will send you a pic when done. Once again, thank you ~ Cheryl
Thank you! Yes please give links and pics! <3
How do I down load the pattern?????
I currently do not offer a pdf version.
I love the pattern and would love to crochet one for my granddaughter and myself but can’t figure out how to print the pattern. I tried copy and paste, but it would not allow me to do that, it has a pdf program that you would have to download, but I am always leary about downloading anything from the internet. Is it possible to get the pattern another way?
At the bottom of each post/pattern you will see a print friendly button
Thank you for the pattern! Just finished making one for my 4yr old and she loves it.
