This pattern is a simple hat with a cute bow. The pattern is for newborn babies to adults. By using the yarn that I did it only took one skein. You can use any yarn that you would like for the hat and bow, you just need to use yarn that will give you the same gauge. I also attached a starfish to my hat because I loved it with those colors. This hat would make a great gift, or a hat to knit for many people on your Christmas list:-) Happy knitting!
