I made this with my grandson in mind, and although he was a super cute model the hat fit me better, so I am going to have to go back to work and make a smaller one. I like that the beard fit snug against my chin so should be pretty warm. I have made these type of beards in Lion Brand Nature’s Choice organic cotton, and I like those better but did not have the right color on hand, so we went with Vanna’s choice.
