The LARINDA HAT is a texture-packed little head warmer, featuring bobbles, twisted stitches and a chevron motif. These elements combine to create a whimsical hat that is as enjoyable to make as it is to wear. Available in sizes from Baby to M/L Adult, you can knit one for all the people in your life!

SIZES AVAILABLE:
Baby (Toddler/Child, S/M Adult, M/L Adult)

FIT
The Larinda Hat fits close to the head, like a cap, with little to no ease. The brim and body of the hat should fit snugly without being tight, and the crown should have a slight amount of room and no slouch.
