A fun chunky winter hat that can be knit in a day in a full size range from infant/toddler to adult XL. Add a smile and warmth to your winter, and knit gifts for the whole family.

Garter stitch is super stretchy, so the hats will fit as the child grows. In the photos the toddler boy is almost 3, refuses to have his head measured, and the 81 row hat is a bit small and would have fit better last year, the girl in the red hat just turned 6, has a 20,5”/52cm head and the 91 row hat fits fine for this season. Both children would be better wearing a hat one size larger so that it lasts a few seasons. This is an easy one day rainy day project and great for gifts.

With the exception of the infant hat, all sizes will take more than one skein of Koozoo. Each Koozoo yarn has 4 different stripes, so if you get 3 or 4 skeins in different colors, when you have used up one skein you can tie on the section of a different color that you think looks best. They knit up so quickly that reknitting if you want to switch colors is fast.
