This is a very cute hat that works up quickly using 2 strands together to help it keep it’s shape!

It uses small amounts of each color, I was so excited to give this hat as a gift that I forgot to measure my gauge before sending it!

I used Red Heart with Love but any worsted weight should do

The finished hat measures 17 inches around at the bottom

This hat features the hdc in the 3rd or “hidden” loop
Moogly has an awesome tutorial on this if you aren’t familiar with it
