This pattern has been written with new knitters in mind. Using a check list set up, one can easily follow the steps to make this hat.

There are several sizing options that allow for a combination of six different sized hats. There are many more possibilities with some suggestions at the end to make it your own and make it fun for the more experienced knitter!

Keep your gauge close to the pattern to make sure your hat fits well. Go up or down a needle size if you aren’t getting gauge with the size 8.
