Hello knitters! As promised, I bring you the second version of the hat that I designed for this year’s Halloween, this time with a row of scary/cute Jack-o’-lanterns + the spider web from the previous hat. It comes in two sizes: for toddlers (2 to 4 years old) and for children under eight years old. I’ve knit it using baby soft yarn so that it won’t bother the wearer. A baby sized hat can also be made from this pattern, but with some adjustments, and though I have not included that size here, I’d be happy to add it if some of you request it. Happy Halloween to you all, and stay safe!
