My daughter (2.5 yo) wanted a new colourful hat. Oh, and she made it very clear that she wanted a tassel. So, here we go…

I usually make clothing items for my daughter a couple of sizes larger, so this hat is really intended to fit an older child of medium to large head circumference (about 53 cm). I hope that she’ll be willing to wear it for a couple of years…

The sample hat is pretty stretchy. It’s an easy, slightly slouchy fit for my daughter (head circumference 50 cm) and a very snug fit for me (head circumference 56 cm).

The easiest way to adjust the size to your needs will probably be using a different yarn weight.
