This is a cute little hat that will fit for about six months. You can use up your remnants or knit it with as little as two colors only. Or all in one color!

The hat can be knitted in the round or in rows.
Both ways have their pros and cons.

If you don’t like to seam….make it in the round, but then you also have to purl
If you don’t like to purl….make it in rows, but then you also have to seam it. And seaming garter stitch is very easy! Picture included.
You decide!
