A cute little ribbed hat with pointy ears and snowflake lace panels.

Yarn: Heavy worsted (aran) weight wool in a solid color or tweed. 90 – 150 yd (82-137 m). I like a light color because it shows the snowflakes better.

Needle: Size 8 US (5 mm) 16 in. (40.6 cm) circular needle and one additional needle of the same size or whatever needle is necessary to get gauge.

Gauge: 4.25-4.5 st/in. This varies because the hat is ribbed, causing some stitches to be looser and some tighter.

Sizes: 6-18 mo. 17-18 in. (43-45.7 cm) head (18 mo. – adult small 20-21 in. (50.8-53 cm) head, adult medium/large 22-23 in. (56-58.5 cm) head)
