Designed as a companion piece to and inspired by Eye of the Tiger by Mary Ann Lammers. This hat’s size is adjustable. You can stop increasing when the top of the hat fits the crown of your head. Then proceed without increasing until the height of the hat fits. Switch to the circular needle when you have enough stitches to fit around it without stretching.
