Notes

I love this design, and have been wanting to knit this cute hat for a long time. Love anything with bobbles.

Both colors held/knitted together to create a marled/heathered look. Such a pretty result. This yarn is VERY soft and machine washable.

HELPFUL HINTS:

Cast on (long tail method) over TWO size 6 needles very tightly. Then pull out one needle for a very even, loose lower edge. Switched to size 7 needles after ribbing.

It greatly helps to put stitch markers every 12 sts once you complete the ribbed brim.
