I used worsted weight wool doubled to knit this hat…and it was a very fast and satisfying project! I started designing on the needles with the first hat (Briggs & Little Super, for me) and by the time I got to the child size, I was in a groove. If I had a solid chunk of knitting time,(hah!) I think this could be done in a day or two.

This size fits my four year olds well, with stretch/room to grow, and they could not wait to wear them. Luckily, we had just the right weird snow day and cold rain in May. They volunteered to model and asked to wear the hats later, too. :)
