Practical Hat!

The Practical Hat is a minimalist watchcap worked in worsted-weight wool, with some small details to make it both interesting as a project and functional as a finished object. The .PDF is offered at 20% through October 24th!

This pattern includes written instructions for two sizes. The large size fits average adults, while the smaller one fits older infants from 6-12 months. I have tried the smaller one on a gigantic 7-month-old and on a decorative gourd with a circumference of 17”, and it fit both.

Skill level: intermediate/okay with weird details
