NOTE:
•Hat must be wet blocked!
•My head is 22” around so hat is not deep enough, but it fit my children perfectly. Gifted to a little girl at church.
•I started the braided ties with short needles then as I increased I moved my project to longer needles and then back to short needles to finish off. Easier to manage.

Quite a fun project. I knit kinda slow so it’s going a little slow, but the pattern is interesting enough that I’m not bored.
