After finishing my Gazzam hat, I wanted to play around with the design a bit. I wanted a more curved ‘square’ that was an easy chart repeat. (and use the yarn leftover from my Gazzam hat project)

Two skeins of The Lamb and Kid Tod can produce a Grand Forest and a Gazzam hat - depending on gauge and size

I used 23.1 grams of Kitten (MC) and 21.3 grams of Fern Gully (CC) for size M hat on 21.5 inch head.

Yardage was given for the medium size hat and will differ between sizes and gauge

Small circumference is 15.9 inches (after blocking)

Medium circumference is 16.5 inches (after blocking)

Large circumference is 17.1 inches (after blocking)

Each size increases by 4 stitches, starting with 100 and ending with 108 stitches. (I prefer tighter fitting hats.) This is an easy pattern to customize for your preferred size and gauge - just add or remove stitches in groups of 4 (5/8 inch after blocking).
