This pattern comes in four sizes: sizes 6/12 months, 12/36 months, 3 to 10 years and Youth/Adult Small.

Pattern difficulty: Experienced beginners.
All the stitches used are basic crochet stitches, though some are worked around the posts of double crochets.

The hat is worked from the top down, using basic increases to get to the required width. It uses approximately 172 yards for the largest size.

Texture repeat increases with the size of the hat.

Gauge: Rounds vary in height depending on stitch being worked, and some are harder to count due to turning the work.
