Do you want to create a buzz when you enter a room? Well this might be the hat for you. A lame joke, but the buzz may be about the flattering shaping and unusual design. It is an animal hat but it is also an elegant hat. Change the colour scheme for the insect of your choice.

The large range of yarns and needles, and tension specification range is because the same pattern is knitted in two different yarns to achieve the two sizes.

Yarn for child’s hat:
1 ball Rowan Pure Wool in navy
1 ball Rowan Creative Focus Worsted in black
US 6 (4mm) needles

Yarn for adult hat:
1 ball Rowan Wool Aran in navy
1 ball Rowan Creative Focus Worsted in black
US 8 (5mm) needles
