I have checked and rechecked this pattern, yet a test knit has yet to be completed. Hey, if you’re interested let me know. Otherwise I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this pattern. PM me. I’m pretty good about answering and will be happy to help in any way that I can.

Yardage is approximate. I have yet to figure out an accurate way to determine yardage with the tools I have available.

Lunacy is based on a crossed slipped stitch pattern and is quite stretchy. The stretchiness makes this fairly forgiving, so sizing and gauge are fairly flexible. The decreases are done such that they are very nearly invisible.

This hat is a perfect lightweight yet warm beanie style hat for the fall and temperate winter days we have in Western Washington. It’s just enough to cover little ears, keep the Washington drizzle off little noodles and, of course, look cute.

My son was 2 when I first made this hat for him. He is three now and it still fits perfectly. I have high hopes that he can also wear it next year.
