hmm, debbie bliss. went down to 4.5mm needle, otherwise this seemed enormous.

yarn is left over from the baby blankets and hat is destined for the big brother to be.

Knitting in the round: long tail cast on 28 sts, knit across ear flap, long tail cast on 42 sts, k across ear flap = 100 sts, join, careful not to twist.

hat body is 27 rows deep.
