This wonderful pattern calls for worsted weight yarn. I used DK with a goal of knitting a hat for a child. With the brim turned back, it would fit a toddler. With the brim not turned back, it could fit a child ages 5 - 7. I highly recommend any of Katya’s patterns! This is my second Bee Leaf Hat. Here’s the first one.

Needles used:

Size 4 US - Ribbing
Size 6 US - Everything else

Pattern Gauge: 28 sts x 30 rows
Note that my gauge was different due to the yarn.

Weight of finished hat: 1.5 oz.

Measurements (unstretched):

7.5” (19 cm) high
12.5” (31.8 cm) brim circumference

This is my very favorite tubular cast on (in the round) demonstrated by Suzanne Bryan. It’s super stretchy and very easy:
