March 2020 has been a pretty crazy time! With millions of people sheltering in place and feeling isolated, it’s time to give back and share some love. As I was knitting this hat, the title to the book “Love in the Time of Cholera” kept running through my head. To be honest, I have never read it, but I couldn’t help adapting the title slightly to fit present times.

Share love, joy, and kindness. Reach out to friends and family.

This hat is written for four sizes: 18, 20, 22, 24 inch circumference, and is intended to have a slightly slouchy fit. Knitter’s choice, of course.

If you are a tight knitter for stranded color work, you may wish to go up a needle size for that section.

Sample hat (22” circumference) used approximately 220 yards of MC. You will need 15-20 gms of CC.
