Inspired by the gorgeous Noro colorways, this is a quirky impish toddler hat. Knit with two fingering weight yarns it is soft, stretchy, comfortable, warm and wind-resistant. It is lightweight enough to fit under a hood for very cold days, and warm enough to be worn on its own for the rest. Over the last two winters, “the ‘piral hat” is the one my son reaches for each morning for the 20-minute walk to preschool or the playground.

Finished size of the hat is approximately 19-20 inches and will fit most toddlers.
